Setup
Sit with your back against the backrest and both feet on the floor. Grip the handles beside you and lower your shoulders.
Start phase
Keep your elbows close and press both handles down. Keep your hips and back on the seat.
End phase
Slowly bend your elbows to return the handles to the start. Keep the weight stack from slamming.
Target muscles
Focus on pressing with your triceps. Your chest and front shoulders assist.
Common mistakes
Do not lean far forward or lift your hips to press. Avoid snapping your elbows straight.
Breathing
Exhale as you press down and inhale as the handles rise.
Coach tip
Choose a weight you can press without momentum. Use the same range each time and keep tension in your triceps.
