Cable Shoulder Extension

Proper Form for Cable Shoulder Extension

The cable shoulder extension exercise develops the lats, lower back and also works the tricep muscles. Steps : 1.) Begin by taking hold of a pull down bar with a wide grip so that your hands are on the portion of the bar which curves down, keeping your body up straight and abs tightly drawn in. 2.) Keeping a neutral wrist and a slight bend in your elbow, pull the bar down until it touches your upper thighs, feeling a stretch in your lats and tricep muscles. Keep the arms straight throughout. 3.) Hold this position for a count then slowly bring the bar back up to the starting position. 4.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
