Incline Pushdown with Cable

This exercise uses cables to isolate and work the triceps (muscles on the back of the arms).

Place an incline bench facing away from a cable pulley.

Attach a short straight bar to the pulley and adjust the height so that your arms can extend fully.

Lie face up on the bench and grasp the bar with a narrow overhand grip.

Keeping your arms straight, slowly push the bar down towards your feet.

Pause at the bottom and then return to starting position.

Note: Keep your elbows steady throughout this exercise.
