Extension of the triceps on the upper block

Extension of the triceps on the upper block is the technique of the exercise:

1. Grasp the rope attached to the top block, a straight or angular handle, as shown in the figure. Use reverse grip (palms facing down). Brush shoulder width apart.
2. Become straight, leaning forward slightly. Part of the arm from shoulder to elbow next to the body and perpendicular to the floor. Forearm facing the trainer. This will be your initial position.
3. On the exhale, straining the triceps, lower the handle down. Continue until the handle touches the hips, and arms will be fully extended and perpendicular to the floor. Part of the arm from shoulder to elbow should remain stationary, movement is only the forearm.
4. After a short pause on inhale, slowly raise the handle back to its original position.
5. Complete the required number of repetitions.

Variations: you can also perform this exercise using an EZ or V-handle. In this case, place your thumbs above the little fingers. If you attach the rope to the rope handle, use a reverse grip for this exercise.
