Cable Press Down Overview

The cable press down is an isolation exercise that activates and builds your triceps and shoulders. It's a great move for those aspiring to build bigger arms and wide shoulders.

How to Do it

Stand in front of the pulley station, grab the V-handle attachment, which is set to a high pulley with an overhand grip.
Bring your elbows to your sides in a way that your forearms are parallel to the floor.
Extend your forearms straight and down.
Hold at the final stretch before returning to the starting position overhead.

Tips on Cable Press Down

Press with your forearms: do not move your elbows at all.
Reach the starting position every time, after a rep for a full stretch.
Stop and contract your muscles when at the lowest.
