Triceps Pushdowns

An isolation exercise to work the triceps.

Stand facing the machine, grasp the handle with a palms-down grip.

Keep your elbows close to your torso.

As you exhale, straighten your arms and keep your elbows close to your torso.

Pause for 2-3 seconds at the bottom and contract your triceps.

Slowly return to the starting position.

You can perform this exercise with different types of bars or a rope.

Do not drop or push down the bar or the rope fast as the emphasis shifts to the ligaments.
