Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Cable Rear Drive.
The cable rear drive is a triceps exercise performed by extending the arm backward against the resistance of a low cable. The movement mimics a standing kickback motion, isolating the triceps through full elbow extension behind the body.
The Cable Rear Drive 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.
