tricep extension

Horseshoe muscle builder

A tricep extension is a strength exercise targeting the triceps—the muscles on the back of the upper arm.

The movement involves extending the elbow against resistance while keeping the upper arm stationary: She finished her arm workout with cable tricep extensions.

Variations include overhead, lying, and cable versions, using dumbbells, barbells, or machines.
