How to do it

  1. 01

    Attach dual handles to a sled using a chain or rope. Load the sled to an appropriate load.

  2. 02

    Facing away from the sled, step away until there is tension in the line. Raise your hands above your head, keeping them together, palms facing each other. Your elbows should be pointed upward with the elbows flexed. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    Extend through the elbow to straighten the arm. Ensure that your upper arm stays in position to isolate the triceps.

  4. 04

    Upon full extension, step forward to take the slack out of the line. You may keep your feet staggered for more stability.

In the app

Sled Overhead Triceps Extension appears when you own the kit it needs 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 the kit it needs

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