Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Cable Lying Triceps Extension with Rope.
A triceps isolation exercise performed lying on the floor or a bench facing a low cable pulley, using a rope attachment to extend the arms overhead. The cable provides constant tension and the rope allows the hands to split apart at full extension, improving peak contraction.
The Cable Lying Triceps Extension with Rope is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
