🏋♂️ Tuesday Training Tip 🏋♀️
Another exercise I commonly see being performed incorrectly...
➡️ TRICEP PUSHDOWNS
The most common mistake ⬇️
1️⃣ Flaring the elbows out - The moment that the elbows lose control and move out of position, the tension will be shifted from the triceps and towards the chest and shoulders.
With proper form and regular practice, tricep pushdowns can tone the Triceps (muscles on the back of your arms) and increase stabilization around your shoulder joint.
TIPS 👇🏼
Depending on the bar/rope/cable attachment you are using, your grip may vary.
▪️With the straight bar, use an overhand grip.
▪️Stand with chest up and shoulders back. The
elbows should be slightly in front of the body, by your sides.
▪️Keep knees slightly bent and core tight.
▪️Push down, extend the elbows so that they straighten, slightly rotate the elbows out at the end.
