Cable Lying Tricep Extension: how to do it and form tips

A skull-crusher with a low cable, providing constant tension and a smoother resistance curve than a barbell.

Form tips

Lie on a flat bench with feet near the low pulley, holding a rope.
Pull the rope toward your forehead with elbows pinned forward.
Extend fully and squeeze — let the cable pull on the eccentric.
