Description of exercise Pulley pushdown is a popular strength training exercise that primarily targets the triceps muscles in the arms. It involves using a cable machine with a pulley system and a straight bar attachment. The exercise is performed by standing facing the machine, grasping the bar with an overhand grip, and pushing it down towards the thighs while keeping the elbows close to the body. This movement contracts and strengthens the triceps muscles, which are responsible for extending the elbow joint. The pulley pushdown is a versatile exercise that can be modified by changing the grip or using different attachments, making it suitable for all fitness levels. It is an effective exercise for building arm strength and improving muscle definition.
