To get the benefits from the Reverse Grip Cable Triceps Extension with Barbell, ensure your elbows stay close to your body to target the triceps effectively and reduce shoulder strain. Common mistakes include swinging the arms or using excessive weight, which shifts focus away from the triceps. Start with lighter weights to prioritize form. For beginners, use a lighter resistance and gradually increase as strength improves. Advanced users can enhance intensity by slowing down the eccentric phase. This exercise enhances grip strength and forearm engagement, offering a unique variation to standard triceps routines.
