The WORST "Cable Triceps Extension" Advice I've Ever Heard

Your triceps will grow so much thicker when you stop standing up during your overhead extensions and start using the cable machine for support. Let me show you. Because when you do overhead extensions with the cable at the ground, it's harder to remain stable as you train closer to failure. So, instead, bring the cable head up to just below chest height, then turn around and hinge your hips, and rest your booty against the cable machine. Next, start with your arms fully bent and your elbows pointing out and away, then push your hands out until your arm fully extends followed by a controlled release, and keep pushing until you can't move the weight anymore to maximize growth and tension in your triceps, and follow up for more efficient training tips. — Or, and just hear me out for a second, you could try not shoving the cable machine up your ass, grabbing a heavy dumbbell, and start doing power bombs, an exercise where you can progressively overload consistently with heavier weights as you get better with the movement. Listen, guys, at the end of the day, keep it simple, stupid, all right? If you're trying to lift as heavy as you can to place your triceps under a much heavier load, you want to take your lower back out of the equation, which is why you do the seated version of this exercise. If you're a beginner, you might not really understand this, but exercise selection does matter, especially when you're trying to progress and build muscle. And the reason being is, sure, you can go to the cable machine and do this exercise standing or the way he showed with the weird butt stuff, right? But you still have to put just as much energy into bracing your core as you do performing the actual movement. Now, when you go do the seated version of this exercise, you have back support. Sure, you still have to brace your core, but you can put the majority of your energy and focus into just moving that dumbbell up and down on every single repetition that you do. And if you're looking to bring a bit more intensity to your training, a good pre-workout can go a long way.
