Triceps Cable Pushdown

How to perform it

1. Attach a bar or rope to a high pulley and grip it with elbows tucked at your sides.
2. Keeping the elbows fixed, extend the arms down until they are straight.
3. Squeeze the triceps hard at the bottom of the rep.
4. Let the weight return under control until your forearms are just above parallel.

Common mistakes

• Flaring the elbows out and away from the body.
• Leaning over the weight and using bodyweight to push it down.
• Using too much weight and shortening the range.
