Yet, exerting a lot of force with your core muscles may make it harder to focus on training your triceps. Instructions Benefits Variations Common Mistakes Safety and Precautions The biceps cable curl is an isolation exercise for the biceps muscles in the upper arm. ![]() On the one hand, having to contract your abs in order to keep your torso straight will improve the rotational strength of your core. If you go heavy on the horizontal tricep extension, especially if you also do the one-arm version, then you’ll also feel a significant amount of isometric abdominal activation. Tricep pushdowns use the cable machine to provide constant tension on the muscles. This means that your triceps receive the vast majority of the tension. Tricep extension exercises are an effective way to target your tricep. ![]() But by doing an extension in a horizontal plane of movement, you reduce the ability of your other upper body muscles (especially the chest) to contribute force toward the movement. Most people perform their tricep exercises in a vertical plane of motion. To begin the cable triceps pull-apart, set up in a half-kneeling position in front of a dual cable machine (or, if need be, a pair of resistance bands mounted similarly). The horizontal cable triceps extension is an excellent isolation exercise and one that’s rarely performed. ![]()
