Cable Pushdown

Primary Muscle :Triceps

Secondary Muscles:Shoulders, Chest, Back

Equipment:Standing cable machine, straight-bar or angled bar attachment.

Movement type:Isolation

Execution:

Standing in front of the cable machine, take an overhand grip and space your hands on the bar slightly less than shoulder-with apart. You can also perform this movement with one foot in front of the other if that feels more stable. Lean forward and start with the bar touching at chest level. With force, drive the weight down to your waist by extending your elbows. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your sides at all times. Once you have locked your elbows out at the bottom, squeeze your triceps and return to the starting position by touching your forehead. Don’t be afraid to experiment with various grip spacings and attachments.
