Grasp the bar with your palms facing down, hands shoulder-width apart, and elbows close to your body.
Begin with your forearms about parallel to the floor, then push the bar down by extending your elbows and flexing your triceps.
Keep pushing until your arms are fully extended at your sides and hold this position for a second to maximize the contraction in your triceps.
Slowly return the bar back to the starting position, keeping control of the movement, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Control the Movement: Avoid using momentum to push the cable down. Instead, use your triceps to control the movement both when pushing down and when returning to the start position. This will help to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injuries. Keep Your Elbows Close: A common mistake is to let your elbows flare out to the sides. To target the triceps effectively, keep your elbows close to your body and don't let them move back and forth. Full Range of Motion: Make sure to fully extend your arms at the bottom of the exercise and allow them to return to a 90-degree angle at the top. Avoid partial reps as this can limit the effectiveness of the exercise. Don't Use Too Much Weight: Using too much weight can lead to
