How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie on incline an bench facing away from a high pulley machine that has a straight bar attachment on it.

  2. 02

    Grasp the straight bar attachment overhead with a pronated (overhand; palms down) narrow grip (less than shoulder width) and keep your elbows tucked in to your sides. Your upper arms should create around a 25 degree angle when measured from the floor.

  3. 03

    Keeping the upper arms stationary, extend the arms as you flex the triceps. Breathe out during this portion of the movement and hold the contraction for a second.

  4. 04

    Slowly go back to the starting position.

  5. 05

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Cable Incline Triceps Extension appears when you own a cable stack and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have a cable stack

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
