How to perform it
- You will need two cable handle attachments and a flat bench, as well as chains, for this exercise. Clip the middle of the chains to the handles, and position yourself on the flat bench. Your elbows should be pointing straight up.
- Begin by extending through the elbow, keeping your upper arm still, with your wrists pronated.
- Pause at the lockout, and reverse the motion to return to the starting position.

The Chain Handle Extension primarily targets your Triceps. You'll need other.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Chain Handle Extension slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
