STANDING REVERSE GRIP TRICEPS PRESS DOWN

Anchor the band to a high point above you. Stand facing the band and grab the handles with a supinated/reverse grip (palms facing up when the elbows are bent). Begin with your forearms just above parallel with the floor and your elbows in close to your sides. Keeping your elbows in, contract your triceps to extend your elbows until your arms are fully extended, maintaining the reverse grip throughout the movement. At the bottom, squeeze your triceps for a count, then slowly raise your hands back to the start position.

A.K.A. One-Arm Reverse-Grip Triceps Pressdown

START: Stand facing a high-cable pulley with a single-handle D-grip attached to it. Your feet should be spread about shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Grasp the handle with your right hand using an underhand grip and hold it at chest level with your elbow tight against your side.

MOVE: Keeping your elbow stationary, straighten your right arm until it is fully extended. Pause at full arm extension and flex your triceps, then slowly return the handle to the start position. Complete as many reps as desired then repeat on the left arm.

START: With a slight bend in your knees, stand facing a high-cable pulley with a short straight bar attached to it. Your feet should be spread about shoulder-width apart. Grasp the pressdown bar with an underhand grip and hold the bar at chest level with your elbows tight against your sides. MOVE: Keeping your elbows stationary, straighten your arms until they are fully extended. Pause at full arm extension and flex your triceps, then slowly return the bar to the start position. *Note: this exercise can be done with an EZ-bar attachment.
