Triceps Pushdown
How to do it
- Set a straight bar or rope on a high pulley and stand a step back, chest up.
- Grip overhand and pin your elbows to your sides.
- Push the bar down until your arms are straight, keeping your elbows still.
- Squeeze your triceps hard at the bottom.
- Let it rise only until your forearms are parallel to the floor - any higher and your elbows drift.
