Triceps Push-down

Starting Position

• Attach a short, angled bar to the overhead cable of a lat machine.
• Place your hands on the bar, palms facing downwards.
• Bring the bar down until your elbows are at your sides and bent at about 90°.

The Movement

• Keeping your upper arms close to your body, press the bar down, moving only your forearms, until your arms are fully extended.
• Hold for a count of two; then slowly return
  the bar to the starting position.

Tips

• Keep your elbows fixed firmly at your sides throughout the movement.
• Do not lean too far forwards.
• Keep your wrists locked and your palms facing you.

Variation

Short bar
You may use a short straight bar instead of the angled bar, although this places more strain on the wrists and forearms.
