TRICEPS PUSH DOWN





  1. Attach a straight or angled bar to a high pulley and grab with an over head grip at shoulder width .
  2. Standing upright with the torso straight and a very small inclination forward , bring  the upper arms close to your body and  perpendicular  to the floor .The forearms should be pointing up towards the pulley as they hold the bar . This is your starting position .
  3. Using the triceps , bring bar down until it touches the front of your thighs and the arms are fully extended perpendicular top the floor . The upper arms should always remain stationary next to your torso and only the forearms should move . Exhale as you perform this movement .    
  4. After a second hold at the contracted position , bring the bar slowly up to the starting point . Breathe in as you perform this step .
  5. Repeat form the recommended amount of repetitions .

VARIATIONS:-  There are many variations to the movement . For instance you can use an E-Z bar attachment as well as a V- angled bar that allows the thumb to be higher than the small finger .Also you can attach a rope to the pulley as well as using a reverse grip on the bar exercises .
