How to: Cable Rear Drive
- Stand facing the cable machine with the cable attached to the high pulley.
- Grip the handle with both hands and step back slightly so there is tension in the cable.
- Keep your elbows close to your body and extend your arms downward, fully extending your arms at the bottom.
- Slowly return to the starting position with control, focusing on the triceps.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight can lead to poor form.
- Allowing the elbows to flare out during the extension.
Modifications
- Use a lighter weight to accommodate any weaknesses.
- Perform the exercise seated to stabilize your back if needed.
Tips
- Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.
- Focus on squeezing your triceps at the end of the movement for maximum contraction.
