Instructions
Stand facing the cable machine with the attachment set high. Grip the rope or bar and keep your elbows tucked close to your sides. Brace your core and keep your chest tall. Push the attachment down by extending your elbows until your arms are straight. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom, then return the attachment under control without letting your elbows drift forward.
Coaching Cues
- Keep elbows pinned to your sides
- Stand tall and brace your core
- Push down through the hands
- Fully extend the elbows

- Control the weight on the way up
- Keep shoulders relaxed
Common Mistakes
Letting elbows flare outward. Letting elbows drift forward. Using body momentum. Leaning too far over the attachment. Not fully extending the elbows. Using too much weight. Letting the weight stack slam.
