Kaylen Sumait, B.A., ACSM-EP, Wellness Director at RET Physical Therapy, was recently featured in a Bustle article spotlighting the benefits of cable machine workouts — specifically for strengthening the triceps.
In the piece, Kaylen, an ACSM-certified exercise physiologist, recommends a classic tricep cable extension — a move that’s perfect for beginners looking to make the most of this versatile gym tool.
Her expert guidance helps readers understand proper form and pacing:
- Stand shoulder-width apart, facing the cable machine.
- Use a high anchor with a flexible handle, like a rope attachment.
- Hinge slightly at the hips and grip with both hands.
- Keep elbows tucked at your sides and extend your arms downward.
- Focus on control—3 seconds down, 3 seconds up.
- Complete 2 sets of 15 reps.
As Kaylen and other experts explain, targeting the triceps isn’t just about toned arms — it can improve posture, reduce back pain, and make everyday movements easier.
