Cable Triceps Pushdown on Floor

The cable pushdown turned onto the floor: lying face up with the head toward a low pulley, the elbows pinned at the sides push the bar from the chest toward the hips.

How to do it

Setup

Lying face up on the floor, head toward a low pulley, knees bent, a straight bar at the chest, elbows at the sides.

Steps

Straighten the elbows to push the bar toward the hips.
Keep the upper arms pressed to the floor at the sides.
Let the bar return to the chest slowly.

Common mistakes

Upper arms lifting off the floor: keep them pinned; only the forearms move. Stopping short of straight arms: finish each rep at full extension. Letting the bar snap back to the chest: control the return.

Breathing

Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
