EXERCISES: Overhead Cable Rope Triceps Press

Oxygen Magazine (March 2004) Model: Jennie Hanke

I like this exercise the best for the triceps because it also engages the abs. I also find that it puts less stress on the elbow joints than does the DB overhead extension. Sometimes when I start lifting really heavy with a DB overhead it starts to hurt my elbows so this is better for me.

I stand with one foot in front of the other in a close lunge position. I bend my knees slightly (as always...keep soft knees) and I bend at the waist, engage my abs and pull...just like Jennie is in the photo above.

I usually use put 40-50 lbs on the cable machine with this exercise. Always think about the muscle group you are working, engage and squeeze that muscle group.

About This Blog

I am Tori (FITori) and welcome to my blog!!!

I created this blog from the encouragement of my best friend who pushed me to start a blog about my passion, which I am always talking about! It started as a way to inspire others the way I have been inspired and to share what inspires me. I also want to share with you what I have learned through my years of research on health and fitness.

For me, this blog is a great place for me to document my fitness journey. I decided to compete this year, but have transferred that goal to next year so that I can bulk and compete in Figure. This blog is my accountability and hopefully I can get some advice and tips along the way. I am hoping that I can learn from you all also as I post what I am learning along the way. If I am wrong or there is advice for me, I want it! I want your theories. What are you doing differently?

I'm also looking for accountability to keep this up and inspiration from you all. I read your blogs and get inspired and knowing you're reading mine keeps me going!

Thank you for your support!!! Let me know if you have any special requests for blog posts!
