One move

Cable Tricep Pushdown

Strength Upper body

How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.

Push a cable attachment down by extending the elbows. Clean isolation for the triceps with constant tension.

Option. Straight bar, rope, or V-bar. Rope allows a nice outward flare at the bottom for extra long-head emphasis.

Show the steps

1
Stand tall facing the cable, elbows pinned near the sides, slight forward lean optional.
2
Start with the upper arms stationary and the forearms parallel to the floor (or slightly higher).
3
Extend the elbows fully, squeezing the triceps at the bottom.
4
Control the return without letting the elbows flare or the upper arms drift forward.
5
Keep the wrists neutral and the core braced.
6
Full range + controlled tempo beats heavy swinging.
