Know the difference: Cable Upper Body💪🏽

Cable Tricep Pushdown VS Standing Straight Arm Pulldown🔥

I wanted to breakdown these two DIFFERENT upper body cable exercises, because I see a lot people struggle with them.

And when they are performed wrong they sometimes begin to look like each other😬 so here’s a few key points:

Tricep Pushdown:

- Isolates the tricep muscle

DO’S ✅

- Brace your core

- Tuck your elbows

- Push down until your elbows are fully extended

DON’TS❌

- Elbows flaring out

- Using your back

Standing Straight Arm Pulldown:

- Isolates and Strengthens Lat Muscles

DO’S ✅

- Hinge your hips to bend your torso slightly

- Keep your arms straight

- Pull the bar down toward your thighs in a wide, sweeping arc

- Engage your core

DON’TS❌

- Using weight that’s too heavy

- Bending your arms (using your triceps)

Both of these exercises are great for building a toned upper body💪🏽

Be sure to save this for your next workout!
