Triceps Pushdowns

Triceps Pushdowns, or Triceps Push Downs are a very common triceps exercise performed in health clubs. This is because they are very easy to do and also very effective for stressing the triceps muscle group. Like the Dumbbell Triceps Extensions, they are a favored triceps exercise because they don’t put the shoulder in an unsafe position like some triceps exercises do, for example standing overhead triceps extensions. In addition to this exercise, you can see more at List of Exercises by Body Part. Remember, an exercise is only as good as the workout program it is part of.

Description

• Stand at a overhead cable station
• A variety of hand grips can be used. I prefer a rope, but a straight bar or angled handle       will suffice
• Hold the grip with arms fully flexed at the elbow.
• Exhale as you slowly push down on the bar (or pull down on the rope) until just before full extension of the elbows 
• Inhale as you slowly let the weights raise back up to starting position
• Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions or until fatigued
