Triceps Push Down with Cable

• Attach a straight or rope handle to the top pulley of a cable machine. Adjust the pulley height so it is about level with your upper chest.

• Stand up straight facing the machine with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Keep your abs engaged and back straight throughout the movement.

• Grip the handle with an overhand grip (palms facing down). Hands should be about 6 inches apart.

• Keeping your upper arms stationary at your sides, bring the handle down until it is directly in front of your thighs by flexing the elbows. Exhale as you push down.

• Stop when your forearms are parallel to the floor. Be careful not to lock out your elbows.

• Slowly bring the handle back to the starting position by extending the elbows while keeping arms fixed. Inhale as you return to the starting position.

• Repeat for the desired number of reps. Maintain control and avoid swinging the weight.

• Focus on using your triceps to push down rather than momentum. Go lighter if needed to maintain proper form.

• You can also try different hand positions like a neutral grip or reverse grip to hit the triceps from different angles.

• For variation, do one arm at a time or use a rope handle for a different grip.
