Instructions

Cable Single Arm Triceps Pushdown

1. Setup:
- Adjust the cable machine to a high position.
- Attach a single handle to the cable.

2. Starting Position:
- Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Grasp the handle with one hand (the one you want to work) and pull it down so your elbow is at a 90-degree angle, close to your side.
- Lean slightly forward with your torso and keep your core engaged.

3. Execution:
- Begin the movement by extending your arm downwards, straightening your elbow.
- Keep your upper arm stationary and only move your forearm.
- Squeeze your triceps at the bottom of the movement.

4. Return:
- Slowly return to the starting position by bending your elbow back to the 90-degree angle.
- Maintain control of the handle throughout the movement.

5. Repetitions:
- Perform 10-15 repetitions on one arm before switching to the other arm.
- Complete 2-3 sets for each side.

Tips:
- Avoid using momentum; the movement should be controlled.
- Keep your back straight and avoid leaning too far forward.
- Adjust the weight on the cable machine to ensure proper form.
