Reverse-Grip Cable Pushdown
Pushdown with the palms up; the underhand grip favours the medial head.
How to do it
Setup
Underhand grip on the bar at the high pulley, elbows pinned.
Steps
- Press the bar down to straight arms.
- Keep the palms up and the wrists straight.
- Return to just past 90° elbows.
Common mistakes
Grip rotating over: underhand start, underhand finish. Wrists curling: the weak link here; lighter and straight. Elbows drifting: pinned.
Breathing
Exhale pressing down, inhale returning.
