Description of exercise Pulley triceps extension is an isolation exercise that specifically targets the triceps muscles in the arms. It involves using a pulley machine with a cable and weight stack to perform the movement. The exercise is performed by standing facing away from the machine, holding onto the handle with an overhand grip and extending the arms downward until they are fully extended. This movement primarily works the long head of the triceps, but also engages the lateral and medial heads to a lesser extent. It is an effective exercise for building strength and definition in the triceps, and can be modified by adjusting the weight or using different handle attachments.
