Step by Step

  1. This exercise works your Triceps
  2. Like any exercise this should be pain free or shouldn’t increase existing pain levels, during, after and the next day.
  3. It is normal to feel some delayed onset muscle soreness between 48-72 hours but this should be manageable
  4. Adjust the weight on the stack first
  5. Attach the rope attachment to a high pulley and grip the ends of the rope with your palms facing each other
  6. Standing upright with your back straight but with a very slight inclination forward, bring the upper arms close to your body
  7. The forearms should be pointing up towards the pulley. This is your starting position.
  8. Next pull the rope down to straighten your elbows and pull the rope ends wide apart.
  9. Next bring the rope slowly up to the starting point. But with a very slight motion of the upper arms away from your body to target the long head of the Triceps.
  10. For strengthening you should perform 6-10 reps to fatigue
  11. You should perform 3-5 sets with 3 minutes rests
  12. This session can be done 2-3 times per week
  13. For endurance you should perform 15-25 reps to fatigue

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
