Lying down Tricep cable extension

This exercise is a slightly different take on the lying down skull crusher. As the position of your hands are different it works the long head of your triceps more effectively.
1. Lie down on the bench with the pulley below your head height so it gives your triceps a good stretch at the bottom of the bottom. Face your palms over the bar (ie facing down towards you) rather than under and facing away like in most tricep extension exercise.
2. Ideally you should have a training partner bring the bar to you as it could be awkward for you to grab the bar yourself. Then start in the flexed position with the bar just behind your head, then 'pull' the bar straight up working your triceps.
