Cable Crossover Tricep Extension

Form Cues

• Set both cable pulleys to a position slightly above shoulder height and attach a D-handle to each.

• Stand between the two cable towers, facing outward.

• Grab each handle with the same-side hand so the cables pull your arms inward across your body.

• Start with arms out at shoulder height, elbows bent at about 90 degrees, forearms pointing toward your head.

• Extend both elbows outward simultaneously, straightening the arms out to the sides.

• Keep your upper arms parallel to the floor and stationary throughout — only the forearms move.

• Squeeze the triceps hard at full extension.

• Control the return, letting the cables pull the forearms back to the starting position.

• This angle emphasizes the lateral head of the triceps.
