Cable Triceps Pushdown
Facing the cable stack, elbows pinned to your sides; extend the arms down and let them return slowly.
How to do it
Setup
Face the stack, grab the attachment, elbows pinned to the sides; slight forward lean, core set.
Steps
- Extend the arms fully down.
- Squeeze the triceps for a beat at the bottom.
- Let the attachment rise slowly to just past 90° elbows.
Common mistakes
Elbows drifting forward: pin them to the ribs; only the forearms move. Leaning on the cable with body weight: stand taller, lighten the stack. Half lockouts: full extension is where the triceps finish.
Breathing
Exhale pressing down, inhale on the return.
