This is an effective strength training exercise that targets the triceps muscles. This exercise is performed using a cable machine with a tricep press attachment, which provides constant resistance throughout the entire range of motion. By keeping your elbows tucked in close to your ears and maintaining proper form, you can effectively target the triceps muscles while also engaging the shoulders and core. In this article, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly perform and how to modify the exercise to suit your fitness level and goals.
How to perform Cable Overhead Close Grip Tricep Press
- Attach a Tricep Press attachment to a low cable pulley and stand with an upright, shoulder-width stance facing away from the machine.
- Position your arms straight above your head with your little fingers on the attachment ends. Keep your elbows tucked in close to your ears and have your knuckles facing the ceiling. This will be your starting position.
- Lower the cable behind your head while inhaling until your elbows are less than 90 degrees.
- Pause for a brief moment.
- Exhale and return the Tricep Press along the same path to the starting position while contracting your triceps.
