The tricep pushdown is a variation of the tricep extension, an isolation exercise which targets the tricep muscles on the back of your upper arm. This variation uses the cable pulley machine which places a constant source of tension on the muscle, which is great for hypertrophy.

1. Connect a cable bar attachment to the cable machine.
2. Stand with feet hip width apart with a slight bend in the knees.
3. Grip the bar with palms facing downwards, about shoulder width apart.
4. Keeping your elbows close to your body, take a slight forward lean, and exhale as you push the bar down till your arms full extended. When doing this, focus on just using your triceps to push the bar down whilst keeping your shoulders and arms still.
5. Allow the muscles to sufficiently contract by holding for a pause, then slowly release the bar back to starting position as you inhale.
6. Repeat the exercise for however many repetitions required.
