If you’re looking for a new effective triceps exercise, this one is for you. I’ve been doing it for about 6 years, and still find it to be the most intense and achieves the greatest results. If you think doing free-weight kickbacks are difficult (coming soon), well this is about just as hard, but in each hand at once.

Reverse Cables Tricep Exercise Demonstration from Nash on Vimeo.

The key points of this exercise are

1. Start with a low weight until you have mastered the proper form!
2. Grabbing a cable from each side with the opposite hand
3. Standing straight or bent forwards (for greater range of motion)
4. Keeping your elbows locked behind you (perpendicular to your body) in a non-moving constant position
5. Extending your hands behind you until your elbows are about to lock
6. Lowering the cables in at slower pace than raising them
