Cable One Arm Tricep Pushdown

TricepsCableBeginner
Stand facing a cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the cable attachment with one hand, palm facing down. Keep your elbow close to your side and extend your arm straight down until fully extended. Pause briefly, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and then switch sides.

How to perform the Cable One Arm Tricep Pushdown

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Cable One Arm Tricep Pushdown using your cable.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your triceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your triceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
