Cable Triceps Pushdown (V-bar)
Expert Advice
Keep your elbows pinned to your sides to isolate the triceps effectively. Avoid using momentum; let your triceps do the work.
How-to-do Steps
- Attach a V-bar to a high pulley and grab it with an overhand grip.
- Stand upright with a slight forward lean and a braced core.
- Keep your elbows close to your body and push the bar down until your arms are fully extended.
- Pause at the bottom, then slowly return to the starting position while controlling the weight.
