How to do cable tricep pushdown

Coach's Tips

This exercise targets the triceps by driving the grip downward. It is one of the most efficient workouts for enhancing arm muscle growth.

Start Position

1. Execute the movement in a slow and controlled manner.

2. Refrain from locking your elbows at the lowest point.

3. Keep your back straight and avoid leaning forward while pushing the bar down.

Proper Form

1. With elbows tucked at your sides, press the bar towards your hips.

2. Ensure your upper arms remain stationary and avoid unnecessary movement.

3. After the bar reaches your hips, slowly guide it back to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out as you lower the bar.

2. Breathe in as you raise the bar back to the initial position.

Precautions

1. Stand upright at a cable machine equipped with a straight bar connected to the cable.

2. Grip the bar using an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

3. Keep your elbows close to your sides and your upper arms aligned parallel to the floor.

4. Maintain a firm and upright posture.
