Sled Overhead Triceps Extension

How to perform

1. 01Attach dual handles to a sled using a chain or rope. Load the sled to an appropriate load.
2. 02Facing away from the sled, step away until there is tension in the line. Raise your hands above your head, keeping them together, palms facing each other. Your elbows should be pointed upward with the elbows flexed. This will be your starting position.
3. 03Extend through the elbow to straighten the arm. Ensure that your upper arm stays in position to isolate the triceps.
4. 04Upon full extension, step forward to take the slack out of the line. You may keep your feet staggered for more stability.

Form cues

• —Drive through the full range — do not cut the lockout short.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
