Reverse Pushdowns

Stand facing the machine with your hands on the bar and your elbows touching your sides.

1. Inhale and straighten your arms. Do not let your elbows wander or separate from your sides.

2. Exhale you complete the movement and do another repetition. The next repetition will begin when your forearms are horizontal to the floor.

Notes: This exercise is often called “reverse cable curls.” Generally, most people have a weak grip so, the exercise should be done with a light weight in order to work the triceps and focus on the medial head.

When the forearms are extended, this exercise also works the anconeus and wrist extensors. The wrist extensors and fingers stabilize the wrist by contracting isometrically during the exercise movement.
