Kai Greene Trains Triceps While in Quarantine

Kai Greene trains triceps.

One of the most influential figures in bodybuilding today, Kai Greene is still hard at work in the gym. While quarantine has made it near impossible for most people to train, those with home gyms can still get the job done.

Kai Greene is fortunate to have his own home gym during this crisis. The Generation Iron star has always remained diligent about keeping his physique in top condition. Quarantine can’t keep Kai Greene away from training.

Always looking to inspire his followers, Kai Greene has made a training video for those with access to a home gym. Take a look at the details below.

1️. Go to a cable station, grab a rope attachment and place it onto the highest position possible.
2️. Take your stance and grasp the rope overhead with a neutral grip and lean forward.
3️. Keep your core engaged as this is the secondary muscle group being used.
4️. To begin, extend elbows and flex your triceps.
✅PRO TIP: Keep elbows tucked to your body
5️. Pull the rope down until the elbows are almost locked out then slowly bring rope back to the original starting position.
6️. Shoot for 4 Sets of 20, 15, 12, 10 reps.

??IN HOME TRAINING Did you know that the triceps make up for ⅔ of the size of your arms? It’s a large muscle consisting of 3 separate heads, so if you’re looking to grow your arms it’s important to hit all 3 at different angles and not just the biceps y’all!! .. During this time in #quarantine I’ve isolated myself at my home gym that is loaded with the best at-home gym equipment there is on the market @powertecfitness Yo real talk guys… if you haven’t checked them out yet I encourage you to go see the craftsmanship and quality they have used for over the last 20 years and now with flexible payment options this can be a great health investment/benefit come long term. .. Now back to the movement we’re going to work for gaining that overall size/mass is the OVERHEAD ROPE TRICEP EXTENSIONS. Interestingly enough, this exercise targets the long head of the tricep and the (Fuller) we can get that long head to appear, the BIGGER that horseshoe will appear! .. ??BELOW IS HOW WE’RE GOING TO EXECUTE THIS MOVEMENT .. 1️⃣Go to a cable station, grab a rope attachment and place it onto the highest position possible. 2️⃣Take your stance and grasp the rope overhead with a neutral grip and lean forward. 3️⃣Keep your core engaged as this is the secondary muscle group being used. 4️⃣To begin, extend elbows and flex your triceps. ✅PRO TIP: Keep elbows tucked to your body 5️⃣Pull the rope down until the elbows are almost locked out then slowly bring rope back to the original starting position. 6️⃣Shoot for 4 Sets of 20, 15, 12, 10 reps.
