Machine Triceps Extension
Sit in the triceps extension machine and grab the handles with the recommended grip, keeping your elbows fixed at your sides. Press the handles down or out by extending your elbows until your arms are nearly straight, squeezing the triceps at the bottom. Control the return so the weight does not pull your forearms back too fast. Keep your torso braced against the pad and avoid using momentum from your shoulders.
