By Elliott | April 26, 2008

Main Muscle Worked: Triceps

Other Muscles Worked: Shoulders,forearms

Equipment: Lat Pulldown machine

Mechanics Type: Isolation



Tips: With your right hand, grasp a stirrup handle attached to the high-cable pulley using an underhand grip. You should be standing directly in front of the weight stack. Pull the handle down so that your upper arm and elbow are locked in to the side of your body and your upper arm and forearm form a right angle. Feeling the contraction in your triceps, pull the stirrup handle down to your side until your arm is straight. Squeeze and then slowly return the handle to the starting position. Finish your desired number of reps, then switch arms.
