Sled Overhead Triceps Extension

Muscles worked

Main muscles
- Anconeus
What it is
This movement specifically isolates and strengthens your triceps muscles using a sled and dual handles. You position yourself facing away from the sled, extending the handles overhead. It's an effective way to build arm endurance and definition.
Technique tips
- Ensure your upper arms remain stable and pointed upward.
- Extend completely through your elbows to straighten your arms.
- Take a controlled step forward to re-tension the line.
- Keep your palms facing each other throughout the extension.
- Brace your core for stability as you perform each rep.
- Consider a staggered stance for improved balance.
How to track your progress
Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
