How to perform Triceps Pushdown

  1. Attach a straight bar or rope to the high pulley of a cable machine.
  2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and grip the attachment with an overhand grip.
  3. Keep your elbows close to your torso and your upper arms stationary.
  4. Push the bar or rope down by extending your elbows until your arms are fully straightened.
  5. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom of the movement.
  6. Slowly return the bar to the starting position with control, keeping tension on your triceps.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout.

Use controlled movement and an appropriate variation for your current ability. Stop if an exercise causes sharp pain, and seek qualified guidance when needed.
