The Cable Close Grip Tricep Press is an effective exercise for targeting the triceps muscles, which are located on the back of the upper arm. This exercise is performed using a cable machine and a V-bar attachment to create resistance for the triceps. By performing this exercise, you can increase upper body strength and tone your arms. It’s a popular choice for people who want to improve their arm definition and overall fitness. Here are the steps to perform a more effective arm workout.
How to perform Cable Close Grip Tricep Press
- Attach a V bar attachment to a high cable pulley.
- Stand about 18 inches away from the machine with an upright stance and adopt a shoulder-width grip on the bar with your palms facing the floor.
- Tuck your elbow into the side of your torso and hold the bar, so that your forearms and upper arms create an acute angle (less than 90 degrees).
- This will be your starting position.
- Exhale and push the bar down towards your thighs in an arcing motion, using your triceps to do this.
- Contract your triceps fully when your arms are by your thighs, ensuring that your elbows are tucked into your sides, and only your forearms move.
- Your arms should be perpendicular to the floor at this point.
- After a brief pause, inhale and return the bar back to the starting position along the same path.
- Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
