Instructions
The cable shoulder extension exercise is another great way to work the back, specifically the latissiumus dorsi ('lats") muscle. The core muscle and triceps also get some work in terms of stabilization. Steps : 1.) Begin by standing in front of a cable machine and attach a short bar to a high pulley. 2.) Take hold of the handle with an overhand grip. 3.) Keeping your arms straight and elbows at your side as you push the handle down towards your thighs. 4.) Pause for a moment and then return to the starting position. 5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
