Pro Tips
•Face away from the machine and hold the handle with an underhand (supinated) grip overhead.
•Keep your upper arm close to your head and extend the forearm forward by straightening the elbow.
•Control the return slowly; the overhead reverse grip creates an excellent stretch on the long head.
Common Mistakes
•Letting the elbow drift away from the head, which reduces the stretch on the tricep long head.
•Arching the lower back under the overhead load instead of bracing the core.
•Using too much weight, which forces compensatory movement through the shoulder joint.
