How to Do Cable Tricep Single Arm Pushdown

Form Cues

1. 1

   Set cable high, grip single handle with one hand, pin elbow firmly at your side, push straight down to full extension

2. 2

   Fully extend at the bottom and squeeze the tricep, then control the return slowly

3. 3

   Keep a slight forward lean from the hips for a stable base

4. 4

   Keep the working shoulder still, isolating the movement to the elbow joint

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Elbow drifting forward as you press down — keep it pinned at your side; any forward movement shifts load off the tricep and onto the chest and shoulders

• ●

  Using body weight and leaning into the movement instead of isolating the tricep

• ●

  Rushing the return, losing tension at the top instead of controlling it back
