Reverse Pushdowns

Reverse Pushdowns

Stand facing the machine with your hand on the bar and elbows flexed against your sides:

- Inhale and straighten your arms; don't separate your elbows from your sides

- Exhale as you complete the movement

The underhand grip doesn't allow you to work with a heavy weight. Perform the exercise with a light weight in order to work the triceps and focus on the medial head. The forearm extension also works the anconeus and the wrist extensors. The wrist extensors an fingers stabilize the wrist by contracting isometrically during the action.
