Keep your elbows close to your body and your back straight, then push the bar down using your triceps until your arms are fully extended.

Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your core engaged and your movements slow and controlled.

Pro Tip

**Controlled Movement**: Avoid the common mistake of letting the weights control your movement. You should be in control of the weights at all times, both when pushing down and when returning to the starting position. A slow, controlled movement is more effective and reduces the risk of injury. **Right Weight Selection**: Choose a weight that is challenging but allows you to perform the exercise with proper form. Using too heavy weights can lead to improper form, which can result in injuries and diminish the effectiveness of the exercise. **Focus on the Triceps**: The Cable Incline Push
