Exercise Description

Reverse grip one arm tricep pushdown targets your triceps with a unique grip that hits different muscle fibers. It builds stronger, more defined arms while improving grip strength.

How To

1. Set the cable machine with a single handle attachment at the highest position and select your weight. 2. Stand facing the machine, grab the handle with one hand using an underhand grip, elbow at your side. 3. Keep your upper arm locked in place and push the handle down by extending your forearm until your arm is straight. 4. Hold the bottom position for a second, then slowly let the weight return to starting position with control. 5. Complete all reps on one arm before switching to perform the reverse grip one arm tricep pushdown on the other side.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbow glued to your side throughout the entire reverse grip one arm tricep pushdown movement • Use a slow, controlled motion on both the down and up phases for maximum muscle engagement • Keep your wrist straight and grip firm to maintain proper form during the reverse grip one arm tricep pushdown • Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and core tight for better stability

Common Mistakes

• Letting your elbow drift away from your body during the reverse grip one arm tricep pushdown reduces tricep activation • Using too much weight and swinging your body to help move the weight instead of isolating the tricep muscle • Rushing through the movement during reverse grip one arm tricep pushdown instead of controlling the weight both ways
