Instructions
- Stand facing the high pulley wire rope machine and grasp the handle of the straight handle with a reverse grip.
- Spread your elbows out to the sides so that your forearms are parallel to the floor. Keeping your elbows in the same position, pull your forearms down, tensing your triceps. Return to starting position.
Tips

- Make sure you don't lose tension in your triceps at the top of the movement.
