    Stand in the middle of a cable machine with two high pulleys.

  2. 2

    Grab each handle with an overhand grip and step forward into a staggered stance.

  3. 3

    Lean slightly forward, keeping your elbows close to your head.

  4. 4

    Extend your arms downward, crossing them over each other at the bottom of the movement.

  5. 5

    Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining tension on the triceps.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your elbows fixed and close to your head to isolate the triceps effectively during the extension.
