| You can use a straight bar, V-bar, or a rope for this exercise. The apparatus that you use is dependent upon your body and what feels best to you! You grip should be 8 - 12 inches apart if you use a straight bar. Using the high pulley, grasp the bar and lean forward or away from the high pulley. Keep your legs staggered about 2 feet front to back. This will give your body more stability. Exhale and extend your arms until they are nearly straight in front of your head. Slowly bring the weight back behind your head to the starting position and repeat. This is a great exercise for strengthening and stretching the long head of your triceps muscle. |
