Triceps Pushdown
Equipment
Grasp the attachment with an overhand grip (palms facing down) and position your elbows close to your body at about a 90-degree angle.
Push down the bar or rope by fully extending your arms, keeping your elbows stationary and only moving your forearms.
Hold for a moment at the bottom of the movement to ensure maximum contraction of the triceps.
Slowly return the bar or rope back to the starting position, resisting the pull of the cable until your arms are fully extended upward again. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Avoid using momentum or the weight of your body to push the bar down. Instead, focus on using your triceps to perform the exercise. The movement should be slow and controlled, both when pushing the bar down and when returning it to the starting position. Full Range of Motion: Make sure to use a full range of motion during the exercise. This means fully extending your arms at the bottom of the movement and allowing them to return to a 90-degree angle at the top. Avoid partial reps as they can limit the effectiveness of the exercise. Avoid Overextending
