How do you do Bent Cable Tricep Extensions? can’t find them anywhere

thx

thats b/c i have no idea what the real name of them is. i discovered someone doing them at my gym and i copied him and i liked the results.

anyway, go to a cable station where you would normally do tricep pushdowns or something.

you want to use a stable grip, no ropes for this, either the horseshoe grip, an curved bar or a regular straight bar but no ropes.

stand so that youre facing away from them stack with the bar behind your neck.

bend over forward like you were doing a weighted ab crunch. you will actually eventually need someone to help pull down on the cable to set up because it gets that heavy.

once you are bent forward and in place to begin, make sure the start of each rep is when the bar is behind your neck, you should feel a stretch in the triceps just from this. now you extend outwards and repeat.

i really like doing these and got tricep stretchmarks for the first time after doing em a couple weeks.

Live, does what you’re describing look like these, only with a straight bar?

yeah except i use a horseshoe bar b/c it hits my heads better. and this is seriously the best longhead developer out there ive used. RGBP being a very close second.

i should probaLy put my legs out like he does b.c that exercise REALLY puts stress on the quads

i dont know how u manage to stay in that position live because when i do those with the bar u mention it becomes to much weight to balance myself[/quote]

idk, i cant really think of why that would happen unless youre walking it out or you have a much different cable station

I’m too strong for him to reel me in.

i heard reeling is a good way to hit the biceps without actually curling

Lol, it would be good if he was looking to do extremely heavy negatives.

lol@ “what bodybuilders do powercleans?”

It’s so true bro. I can’t think of one pro who does them.[/quote]

ironically, the only people i see at my gym who do Oly lifts are tiny.

ive seen guys doing the one where you deadlift it, then catch it or whatever, with like 95 pounds…come on, you should be able to curl that.

Oly lifts are stupidly complex to learn and do right the gimps in the gym you see doing them have probably never been exposed to an oly coach in their life.

I’m a mid 500 deadlifter and can only snatch 180-200lbs on a very good day because my technique is pretty disastrous.

Oh and doing Oly lift for body building purposes is pretty fucking retarded.
