This pushdown variation uses an underhand grip to isolate the triceps and place extra focus on the long head of the muscle.
Instructions
- Set a straight or EZ-bar attachment on a high cable pulley.
- Grip the bar with an underhand (palms-up) grip, shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your elbows close to your torso and press the bar down until your arms are straight.
- Squeeze your triceps at the bottom of the movement.
- Slowly return to the starting position by allowing the bar to rise with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
