Tricep Cable Push Downs

This exercise targets the outer head of the triceps.

Attach a bar to an overhead pulley. Stand in front of the pulley with
your feet shoulder width apart. Grab the bar with a narrow overhand
grip. Bend your arms fully and tuck your elbows close to your sides at
all times during the exercise.

Moving just your forearms push the bar down in an arc motion until
your arms are straight. Hold this position and squeeze your triceps for
a second to maximize the peak contraction. Then slowly lower to the
starting position.

Tips - do not let the weight plates touch during the exercise, keep the
tension on the tricep muscles. For variety you can use different bars
attached to the overhead pulley (i.e. rope, ez bar, V bar, etc.) to work

the muscles at different angles.
