ROPE TRICEPS PUSHDOWN

ROPE TRICEPS PUSHDOWN

Target Muscle: Triceps

Preparation:
Face high pulley and grasp the rope attachment with an overhand grip and palms facing each other. Start the exercise with the hands at chest height. Position elbows to the side.

Execution:
Push rope towards the floor with your hands moving with the natural motion towards the sides of your legs. Make sure to squeeze the triceps at the bottom. Full lockout. Return until your hands on the rope are back at chest height. Repeat.

Comments:
Step close enough to cable to provide resistance at the top of the motion. All triceps exercises are to be performed to a full lockout. Make sure the upper arm remains in the same position throughout the movement with elbows pointing towards the floor. Chest should be high with the shoulders back during the entire movement to minimize their involvement.
