Kneeling triceps cable pushdowns

Exercise: Kneeling triceps cable pushdowns

Muscles Exercised: Triceps

Description: Using the high pulley on the cable machine, attach a straight (or preferably cambered) bar, and place your hands with an overhand grip on the bar approximately 6-10 inches apart. Kneel down on the floor and straighten your back and stare straight ahead. Position your elbows on the sides of your body as close as possible while still comfortable. Extend your arms straight down towards the floor without changing the position of your elbows. Tip: Visualize a broomstick between your elbows holding them in one position so they do not sway back and forth while performing this exercise. For maximum stimulation of the triceps, contract them when your arms are extended. Be careful not to lock out your elbows at the end of the range of motion.
