Exercise Description
Cable Lying Triceps Extension increases triceps strength, brings stability to your shoulders and arms, improves flexibility, and increases range of motion. This helps to prevent injury and makes it easier for you to use your upper body in your daily activities, such as pushing heavy loads or upper body sports like swimming, rowing, and boxing.

Step 1
Place a bench in front of a low pulley with a straight attachment. -
