Summary
An exercise to strengthen the triceps muscles is the overhead rope tricep extension, which is a version of the rope tricep extension.
Targeting the long head of the triceps is particularly effective with versions of the overhead tricep extension. Your triceps appear larger overall if your long head muscle is denser.
Strong triceps also positively impact your pressing exercises, like as variations of the bench press and shoulder press.
You can incorporate the overhead rope tricep extension into your full body, push, upper body, and tricep exercises.
Guidelines
Take a stand and fasten a rope to the highest feasible cable stack.
Take a split stance, hinge at the hips to bend forward, and hold the rope overhead with a neutral grip (palms facing).
Start the exercise by flexing your triceps and extending your elbows.
After virtually locking out the elbows with the rope, slowly and under control lower the elbow back to the starting position.
Continue till the desired number of times.
Advice
Don’t completely lock out the elbows if you wish to maintain greater tension in your triceps.
Refrain from letting the rope drag you back or put too much strain on your lumbar spine.
To prevent the rope from grazing the back of your head and to enable it to pass overhead, you might need to tuck your chin in somewhat.
As you stretch your elbows, watch out that your shoulder blades don’t slant forward.
