Low-cable triceps kick-back: stop here for bigger, better arms

Have your triceps stopped growing? Does that horseshoe on the back of your upper arm refuse to emerge despite your numerous press-downs and overhead extensions? Then give a tryout to the low-cable triceps kick-back--it hits all three heads of the triceps. The key to this movement is choosing a moderate weight and going through the full range of motion. Here's how to do it like a pro.
