Cable Triceps Pushdown (Rope)
How to do it
- Stand facing a high pulley with a rope attachment, gripping one end in each hand with palms facing each other and elbows pinned to your sides.
- Brace your core and keep your shoulders down and back, holding the upper arms still against your torso.
- Press the rope down and slightly apart, splitting your hands outward at the bottom to fully extend through the triceps brachii.
- Let the rope rise back up under control until your forearms are roughly parallel to the floor, keeping the elbows fixed.
- Exhale as you press down and inhale as the rope returns to the top.
- Avoid letting the elbows drift forward away from your sides; keep them anchored throughout the set.
