Açıklama
The Cable Reverse Grip Pushdown is a specialized isolation exercise performed on a cable machine with palms facing up (supinated grip), targeting the triceps muscles, particularly the medial and long heads. Unlike the classic pushdown, it uses a reverse grip, which shifts the load distribution on the triceps and significantly increases medial head activation. It also provides a more natural movement for the elbow joint. This exercise triggers triceps development from a different angle and adds variety to your workout. When performed regularly, it leads to noticeable improvements in medial head hypertrophy, back-of-the-arm definition, and overall triceps strength.

- 4
Keep your upper arms by your sides and your elbows close to your body.
- 5
Keep your back straight and pull your shoulders back.
- 6
Engage your core muscles.
- 7
Push the bar down by contracting your triceps.
- 8
Extend your arms until they are fully straight.
- 9
Squeeze your triceps maximally at the bottom of the movement.
- 10
Return to the starting position in a controlled manner.
- 11
Keep your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.

Yaygın Hatalar
- ✗Raising the upper arms forward - breaks isolation.
- ✗Swinging the body - uses momentum.
