This is an effective exercise that targets the triceps, which are the muscles located at the back of your arms. It involves the use of a cable machine and a tricep V-bar attachment, making it an excellent alternative to traditional tricep exercises such as dips or skull crushers. This exercise is great for individuals who want to build strength and size in their triceps while also improving their overall upper-body stability and posture. In addition to its muscle-building benefits, this can also help improve shoulder mobility and flexibility.
How to perform Kneeling Cable Close Grip Tricep Press
- Attach a Tricep V Bar attachment to a low cable pulley.
- Take hold of the bar and adopt a half-kneeling position, facing away from the machine about 50cm away.
- Put your arms straight above your head with your little fingers on the bar ends. Keep your elbows tucked in and have the bottom of your hands facing the ceiling.
- Maintain a straight back throughout this movement and keep your elbows pinned in close to your ears.
- While keeping your upper arms stationary, inhale and lower the bar down in an arcing motion behind your head until your elbows are at an acute angle (less than 90 degrees).
- Pause for a brief moment then exhale and return the bar along the same path to the starting position while contracting your triceps.
