Connect a low pulley single stir-up attachment to a suitable weighted cable pulley machine, holding the attachment in one hand, whilst resting on both of your knees and other hand on the floor.

START	FINISH

Commence the exercise with your elbow pointing upwards, arm bent at 90 degrees, with your arm tucked into your side.

Keeping your upper arms fixed, smoothly straighten your arm, so that it is now horizontal to the floor, focusing on minimal movement from your upper arm.

The exercise may be called a kick back, but the action needs to be smooth to isolate the tricep muscles.

Lower down under control, aiming to keep the tension on the cable throughout, lowering no lower than a 90-degree bend in your arms.

Focus on looking downwards throughout the movement, keeping your back straight throughout.
