Tricep Medley Variation
My favorite tricep superset of which I’ve posted before along with a variation for those of you that do not have this fancy cable machine. In the second part of the video I easily replicate this exercise by attaching a red TDX band at head height.
1) Depress the scapula (press your shoulders down)
2) Lower your hands so your forearms create an angle less than 90 degrees.
3) Pin the elbows by your ribs, this is working the triceps in its shortened and “weakest” state.
4) Work until near muscular failure
5) Then by slightly sliding the elbows back. Raising the starting point of the hands you can now increase the ROM and slightly lengthen the triceps.
6) A great third part to add onto this would be an overhead tricep extension working the triceps in their completely “lengthened” state.
