How to do the Machine Triceps Extension

- 2
Perform the movement by extending the elbow, pulling your lower arm away from your upper arm.
- 3
Pause at the completion of the movement, and then slowly return the weight to the starting position.
- 4
Avoid returning the weight all the way to the stops until the set is complete to keep tension on the muscles being worked.
