Tricep Pushdowns, V Bar Steps:
Face the cable machine with feet shoulder width apart.
|
Maintain a straight back throughout the movement.
|
Cable & V bar should be adjusted to around chest height.
|
Take hold of the bar with an overhand grip.
|
Push your shoulders back, brace the abdominals and back.
|
With the upper arms tucked into the side of the chest, push down by extending the elbows to straighten the arms.
|
Pause briefly at the bottom and return to the start.
|
Top Tip:- The only movement should be in the elbows. Any other movement in the back or hips probably means the weight is too heavy.
