HOW TO DO REVERSE-GRIP CABLE TRICEPS PUSHDOWN
- Attach a straight bar or single handle to the high pulley and take a palms-up grip that feels secure.
- With elbows bent beside your torso, press the attachment down by straightening the elbows, then return slowly without letting the upper arms drift forward.
- Keep the wrists aligned rather than allowing the load to peel the hands open.
- An underhand grip usually limits how much weight you can hold, so avoid compensating with a forward lean or shoulder movement.
- Use a single handle if the bar forces an uncomfortable wrist angle; the variation changes grip and forearm demand, not which triceps head works in isolation.
