Cable Triceps Pushdown

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

The Cable Triceps Pushdown is a great workout for strengthening  your triceps.  You will need a cable machine to perform this work, so if you have a gym membership then you should be ready to go.  Even though this workout is pretty basic, it is important to keep good form throughout the whole routine.  If you do not keep good form then the workout will be useless and you might end up injuring yourself. There are different handles to choose from, but just pick the one you feel more comfortable with.  So here is how you do a proper cable triceps pushdown.

TricepsPushdown2 Cable Triceps PushdownStep 1: Start by facing the cable machine and stand tall.  Your feet should be hip width apart and your elbows should be tucked by you sides.  Hold the handle with your palms facing the ground.

Step 2: Start with the handle just under your chest area. Inhale slowly, then exhale as you push the handle down until your arm are straight.  Make sure that your elbows stay in the same position they started in. Then slow bring your hands back to the the start position

Key points:

- Make sure that you do not rock your body, remember this is not a full body workout, but focus on your triceps.

- Continue to breathe, do not hold your breath.

- As you get tired, your elbow will want to move quite a bit, but make sure to keep them still and stationary.

The picture above shows you the correct form.  If you would like to put one foot in front of the other, that is fine too.

Workout Of The Day: Kneeling Cable Crunch

By FitnessDude · Comments (0)
Saturday, November 28th, 2009

This is a workout that you will probably have to do at the gym, unless you have a universal gym machine at home.  The Kneeling Cable Crunch looks simple to perform, but there are some bad habits people that people pick up while doing this workout.  It is important to keep correct form while performing the Kneeling Cable Crunch in order to get the benefits of the workout.  But this is a great abs exercise to add to your workout routine if you want to strengthen your abs.

6 Kneeling Cable Crunch Workout Of The Day: Kneeling Cable CrunchFirst:  You are going to want to slide the handle to the top of the pulley system.  This exercise is easiest when the rope is attached, but you also can you the v-bar if the rope is not available.  Beginners will want to start with a lighter weight, until you get the hang of it.

Second:  When you hold the rope, you want to hold it at the top of your head; your wrists should be near your ears.  When you kneel down, you want to be facing toward the weight column.

Third:  Pull down using your abs, your waist area can move, but your hips should not be moving.  You also do not want to use your arms to pull down.  Focus on your core and let your core do all the work.  Flexing your core will help you perform this workout correctly.

Fourth:  After you contract downward, you let the resistance of the cable pull you back up.  A keynote here, you do not have to straighten your back all the way, but you will want to stay in a crunch type position.  Make sure your abs stay contracted through the pull down and the pull up.

Fifth:  Continue to pull down and repeat the workout.  You can do 3 reps of 10, or try doing as many as possible.  Just make sure you are using correct form and moving slowly through the exercise.
