Tricep Pushdown

Here are the steps to perform a tricep pushdown exercise:

  1. Attach a cable bar attachment to a high pulley machine.
  2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and your back straight.
  3. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, keeping your elbows close to your sides and your shoulders pinned back.
  4. Inhale and push the bar down towards your thighs, extending your arms fully.
  5. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then exhale and slowly raise the bar back up to the starting position.
  6. Keep your back straight and your feet flat on the floor throughout the exercise.
  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the workout. Keep your elbows close to your sides, your wrists straight, and avoid using momentum to push the weight. Additionally, make sure to use a weight that is appropriate for your fitness level and gradually increase the weight as you become stronger. The tricep pushdown exercise targets the triceps muscles in the upper arms and is effective for building muscle and strength in this area[1][2][3][4][5][6].
