How to do it
5 stepsAttach a straight bar to a high pulley and stand facing the stack. Take an underhand grip about shoulder-width apart.
Pull the bar down until your arms are fully straight with your elbows tucked against your sides. This is your starting position.
Inhale and slowly raise the bar toward chest height. Only your forearms should move.
Exhale and squeeze your triceps to push the bar back down to the start.
Repeat for the planned reps with your elbows pinned to your sides.
If your elbows swing forward, reduce the load. The underhand grip usually needs less weight than the standard pushdown.
Work one arm at a time to focus on each triceps separately.
