Pushdowns for Triceps

Cable Machine PushdownThis is an isolation exercise for the triceps. It is performed by using a cable machine / pushdown machine. The bar should start at shoulder height, then while gripping the bar with the palms facing down, pull the bar downwards, keeping the elbows still and straightening the arms. An excellent triceps workout.

An alternative is the triceps extension that can be done by holding a triceps bar above your head and then lowering behind. Another method is to lie on a flat bench and grasp a dumbbell with both hands and lower it behind your head.
