TRICEPS

Cable Tricep Pushdown

BeginnerCable

A triceps isolation staple using a straight or angled bar on a high cable. The flat-bar grip keeps your palms facing down and takes most of the wrist-stabilizing demand out of the movement, letting you focus purely on driving the elbows to lockout. Steady cable tension makes it easy to feel the triceps working.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the pulley high and attach a straight or angled bar.

  2. 2

    Grip the bar overhand, palms down, and pull your elbows to your sides bent to 90 degrees so your forearms sit parallel to the floor.

  3. 3

    Brace your core and keep your spine neutral with your shoulders back.

  4. 4

    Push the bar down by straightening your elbows fully, keeping your upper arms pinned in place.

  5. 5

    At full extension, hold briefly and feel the triceps contract.

  6. 6

    Bend the elbows to bring the bar back up to the start under control.
