Cable Reverse-Grip Tricep Pulldown

Starting Position:

1. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Adjust the pulley to a high position.

3. Grab the straight bar or rope attachment with an underhand (supinated) grip, positioning your hands about shoulder-width apart.

4. Take a step back from the machine, creating slight tension in the cable.

5. Stand upright with your core engaged, chest lifted, and shoulders back.

**Movement 1. Begin the exercise by keeping your elbows close to your body and bent at a 90-degree angle.

2. Press your forearms down towards your thighs, extending your elbows and pushing the cable down. Your upper arms should remain stationary throughout the movement.

3. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom of the movement.

4. Slowly return to the starting position by allowing your forearms to move back up to the 90-degree angle while maintaining control.

5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, typically 8-12 for beginners.

Tips:

• Avoid using your back or shoulders to initiate the movement; focus on using your triceps.

• Keep your wrists in a neutral position to avoid strain.

• Adjust the weight on the cable machine to a level that allows you to perform the exercise with good form without overexerting yourself.
