Tricep Pushdown (Cable)

An arm isolation exercise using cable resistance with a vertical pulling motion to target the triceps. Excellent for arm development and muscular endurance.

Instructions

1. Stand facing a cable machine with the pulley positioned above head height.
2. Attach a rope, bar, or handle to the cable and grab it with both hands.
3. Position your elbows at your sides and bend them to approximately 90 degrees.
4. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and your core engaged throughout.
5. Push the attachment downward by extending your elbows and engaging your triceps.
6. Achieve full elbow extension while keeping your elbows stationary at your sides.
7. Return to the starting position with controlled movement.

Tips

• Keep your elbows stationary at your sides to isolate the triceps and prevent momentum.
• The constant cable tension provides stimulus throughout the entire range of motion.
• Use a weight that allows you to perform the movement with control and proper form.
• Squeeze your triceps at the bottom of the movement for maximum engagement.
• Higher reps (10-15) work well for tricep development and muscular endurance.
