How to perform the Reverse Grip Triceps Pushdown
- 1Stand facing the cable machine with the pulley set high, grab the bar with your palms facing up, and bring your elbows close to your sides while you stand tall with a slight bend in your knees.
- 2Keeping your elbows pinned in place, press the bar down until your arms are straight, squeeze the back of your arms, then slowly let the bar rise back up to about belly or chest height, breathing out as you push down and in as you come up.
Coach tips
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and still so the work stays in your triceps, not your neck or upper back.
- Don’t let your elbows drift forward or flare out; think of them as glued to your sides.
- Choose a weight you can control smoothly without swinging your body or using momentum.
