The tricep pushdown is an isolation exercise that targets the triceps, the muscles on the back of your upper arms. Using a cable machine with a bar or rope attachment, you push the handle down toward your thighs, fully extending your arms at the bottom of the movement.

This exercise is great for building tricep strength and definition, making it an essential part of an arm workout routine. It can be performed with different attachments to vary the focus on the triceps and adjust the intensity.
