Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 10–20

Self-resisted triceps pressdown is a regression of Cable Pressdown. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The upper arm stays quiet while the elbow straightens against continuous cable tension, creating a simple and measurable shortened-range triceps drill.
