Cable Kickback: how to do it and form tips

A cable variation of the dumbbell kickback that maintains constant tension on the triceps through the entire extension arc.

Form tips

1. Attach a handle to a low cable, hinge forward, and pin your elbow at your side.
2. Extend your arm fully back until the elbow is locked out.
3. Control the return — the cable pulls harder as you bend.
