Cable Tricep Pushdown

Set-up

• Attach a bar or rope to a high pulley and grip it with your elbows bent.
• Stand close to the machine, elbows tucked at your sides.

How to do it

1. Push the handle down until your arms are straight.
2. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom.
3. Let the handle rise slowly until your forearms are just above parallel to the floor.

Coaching cues

• Only your forearms move.
• Keep your elbows pinned to your sides.

Common mistakes

• Leaning over the handle and pushing with body weight.
• Letting the elbows flare out.
