This variation uses a V-bar attachment connected to a cable machine and is executed with the elbows held close to the body.. This variation targets all three heads of the triceps.
Cable machine upright row. The upright row is performed while standing, holding a weight hanging down in the hands, by lifting it straight up to the collarbone. This is a compound exercise that also involves the trapezius, upper back, forearms, triceps, and the biceps. The narrower the grip the more the trapezius muscles are exercised.
The inverted row is an exercise in calisthenics. It primarily works the muscles of the upper back—the trapezius and latissimus dorsi —as well as the biceps as a secondary muscle group. The supine row is normally carried out in three to five sets, but repetitions depend on the type of training a lifter is using to make their required gains.
The lying dumbbell triceps extension is visually similar to a host of other exercises; pullovers, skull crushers, and even seated triceps extensions come to mind.
In strength training, rowing (or a row, usually preceded by a qualifying adjective — for instance a cable seated row, barbell upright row, dumbbell bent-over row, T-bar rows, et cetera) is an exercise where the purpose is to strengthen the muscles that draw the rower's arms toward the body (latissimus dorsi) as well as those that retract the scapulae (trapezius and rhomboids) and those that ...

A bodyweight squat exercise requires little space and no equipment. After squatting down an individual returns to standing while moving their arms back to their sides. The height of the squat can be adjusted higher or lower depending on individual requirements (i.e., someone unaccustomed to exercise may instead perform half or quarter squats).
