Triceps Pushdown

• The cable V-bar push-down is an ideal exercise for developing toned and sculpted triceps muscles.
• The angled handle of the V-bar attachment allows for a more secure and comfortable grip than a straight bar or rope, and enables you to lift heavier weights.
• This exercise is generally performed with moderate to high reps, such as 8-12 or more per set, as part of an arm-focused routine.
• The cable V-bar push-down is an effective way to target the triceps and build upper body strength.
• It can also be used as a finishing move to burn out the triceps after other exercises.
• When done correctly, this exercise can help you achieve a toned and defined upper body.
• It also provides a high level of triceps activation and pump, particularly in the lateral head.
