How to do it
Stand facing the cable machine with a straight bar attached to the high pulley. Grasp the bar with both hands, palms facing down, and place your hands shoulder-width apart.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and lean slightly forward, keeping your back straight and elbows close to your body. Your forearms should be parallel to the floor.
Push the bar down towards your thighs by straightening your elbows, keeping your upper arms stationary.
Slowly return to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
Exhale as you push the bar down and inhale as you return to the starting position.
Stand with a slight bend in your knees for better stability.
Focus on squeezing your triceps at the bottom of the movement.
