Intermediate

Isolation

1 min per set2 min rest

Upper Arms

Cable

Description

A strength training exercise targeting the shoulder muscles, performed with a cable machine.

How to Do Cable Rear Drive

1
Setup
Stand facing away from a cable machine, set the pulley to chest height, and grasp a single D-handle with an overhand grip.
2
Setup
Step forward slightly to create tension on the cable, positioning your upper arm parallel to the floor and your elbow bent at approximately a 90-degree angle.
3
Keeping your upper arm stationary and pinned to your side, extend your elbow fully, pushing the handle straight back and contracting your triceps forcefully.
4
Slowly and with control, allow your elbow to flex, returning the handle to the starting position while resisting the pull of the cable.

Tips

Maintain a stable torso and avoid leaning forward or backward throughout the movement to isolate the triceps effectively.
Initiate the movement by contracting your triceps, imagining you're pushing the handle straight back with the heel of your hand.
Control the return phase, allowing the triceps to stretch fully under tension before initiating the next repetition.

Common Mistakes

×Swinging the torso to generate momentum rather than using triceps strength; lighten the weight and keep your upper arm completely still, acting as a pivot point.
×Not fully extending the elbow at the end of the movement; ensure a complete lockout to achieve peak contraction of the triceps.
×Allowing the elbow to drop below the level of the shoulder; keep your upper arm parallel to the floor to maintain constant tension on the triceps.
