Triceps Pushdown

Triceps · Cable

How to do it

High pulley with a straight bar, standing, elbows against your sides. Extend down to lockout and return until the bar reaches chest height, without the elbows leaving your body. You feel the back of the arm. The classic mistake is leaning forward and pushing with your bodyweight: do that and it is a press.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
