Rope Pushdowns

Triceps strength helps maintain a straight arm through your backswing, and powerful arm extension through impact

Starting position:

Your hands should be close together, but not touching. You should be standing straight up with a slight bend from the hips towards the machine, creating a 90 degree angle from your upper arms and forearms

Movement:

While exhaling, pushdown the rope while spreading it apart as you get closer to your hips

Finish position:

Arms full extended, holding at the bottom for one second. Inhale and slowly bring weight back up towards starting position
