Muscles Trained: Triceps, chest, shoulders, and forearms.

Intro: Press downs are a solid exercise to include into any routine looking to add mass and strength to the triceps. They are sometimes referred to as push downs. They allow you to use a decent amount of weight and really target and overload the triceps. They can be done with either a cable attachment or a lever. This article will be focusing on the cable form.

How it is performed: Approach the cable unit and adjust the height of the attachment. Set the weight as desired. Grasp the attachment with a narrow grip and make sure you have a sturdy base to stand on. Lean forward and keep your elbows to your side.

Press the weight down by extending your elbows and locking them at the bottom. In a controlled manner, allow the weight to come back to the starting position. Complete the desired number of repetitions and do not neglect form.
