Cable Underhand Tricep Pushdown

Grip the bar with your palms facing up and lean your torso slightly forward. Keep your elbows tucked by your sides and your wrists straight.

Keep your elbows fixed and press the bar down. Drive it down with your triceps while maintaining the palms-up grip.

Bend your elbows as you slowly let the bar rise. Keep your torso still and return without letting your shoulders lift.

You should feel the inner triceps lengthen and then contract. If your wrists take over, your forearms will fatigue first, so press with the sensation of folding the area below your elbows.

Over-bending your wrists or shrugging makes your forearms and neck fatigue first. Prioritize a stable grip and fixed elbows over heavier weight.

Exhale as you press down and inhale as you return. It’s important to keep breathing throughout, even with the short range of motion.

Keeping tension as the bar rises creates a stronger inner-triceps tension. Alternating this with a standard pushdown is a good way to develop the inner and outer triceps evenly.
