Triceps rope pushdown
Intermediate10 repsLow impact
How to do it
- Adjust the weight so you can do at least ten smooth repetitions, grab the rope on the cable station, and take a step back.
- Stand tall by bringing your shoulders back and directing your gaze forward. Your feet should be around hip-width apart, with your toes pointed slightly out. Keep your knees slightly bent.
- With your elbows bent at roughly 90 degrees, bring them down to your sides.
- Take a breath and extend both elbows by engaging your triceps.
- Once your arms are straight, hold the contraction for a second, exhale, and slowly release until your elbows are bent, and your wrists are slightly more elevated than your elbows.
- Inhale and repeat.
