Triceps Cable
Pressdown (Lat Machine Pressdown) : Work the triceps muscle through a
full range of motion.
1) Hook a
short bar to an overhead cable and pulley, stand close to the bar and
grasp it with an overhand grip, hands about 10 inches apart. Keep your
elbows locked in close to your body and stationary. Keep your whole body
steady - don't cheat by leaning forward to press down with your body
weight.
2) Press the
bar down as far as possible, locking out your arms and feeling the
triceps muscle contract fully. Release and let the bar come up as far as
possible without moving your elbows.
For variety,
you can vary your grip, the type of bar you use, how close you stand to
the bar, or the width between your hands; or you can do a three-quarter
movement, going from all the way up to three-quarters of the way down in
order to work the lower triceps muscleS more directly.
