As we get older, keeping our arms strong is vital for everyday tasks whether that’s carrying heavy shopping, gardening, or lifting the kids.
But standard pressing movements can sometimes be tough on the elbows.
The cable pushdown is a fantastic, joint friendly alternative because it keeps constant, smooth tension on the triceps without overloading the joints.
How to do it safely:
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and down
- Keep your elbows pinned to your sides like
they’re glued there.
- Press down smoothly and control the
weight on the way up.
Next time you’re in give this a try on the cable machine → keep it controlled, and
your elbows will thank you!
Let me know how you get on 💪
