Cable Pushdown (Heavy)

Instructions

Preparation

Face high pulley and grasp cable attachment with overhand grip. Position one foot in front of other, bend at hip, elbow to front.

Execution

Extend arm down and pull elbows toward body slightly. Return until forearm is close to upper arm and elbows are to front. Repeat.

Comments

Stay close to cable to provide resistance at top of motion. Elbows may be brought closer to body by slightly flexing waist and/or slightly extending shoulder. These muscles are still considered stabilizers.
