The cable rope pushdown targets the triceps effectively. Common mistakes include using too much weight, which can lead to poor form and shoulder involvement, and flaring elbows, reducing triceps activation. Focus on a full range of motion, keeping elbows by your sides. Start with lighter weights to perfect form and gradually increase resistance. For beginners, use a lighter rope attachment for better control. Advanced users can incorporate variations like single-arm pushdowns. Ensure a neutral wrist position to avoid strain. This exercise can enhance arm strength and definition when integrated into a balanced workout routine.
