Cable Pushdown

Cable Pushdown

This exercise works the entire tricep most specifically the medial and lateral heads. It especially works the mid-range of the tricep

How to do:

1. Stand in a comfortable position in front of a high pulley
with your knees slightly bent.

2. Hold a rope handle or V-Bar with a narrow, thumbless
grip.

3. Pull the weight until your elbows are tight against the rib
cage and the forearms are on a level plane extending out
from the body.

4. Keeping your elbows and upper body motionless, press
the bar down in a slight arc until the elbows are comfortably
locked and the triceps are contracted.

5. Slowly resist the weight as it is returned to the starting
position. Be careful not to cheat by swinging the weight or
adding upper body sway.
