Rope Tricep Pushdowns - First start off by grabbing the rope with a neutral grip (palms facming each other). Standing upright bring the upper arms close to your body and keeping them perpendicular to the floor. Using the triceps, bring the rope down as you bring each side of the rope to the side of your thighs. Your arms should be fully extended and perpendicular to the floor at the end of the movement. Your upper arms need to be kept stationary next to your torso and only the forearms should move. After pausing for a second at the contracted position, bring the rope slowly up to the starting position.
Breathing techniques during the Tricep Pushdowns - Exhale as you push down to straighten the arms, inhale as you bend the arms back to the starting position
