Cable Incline Pushdown

Technique

How to perform Cable Incline Pushdown

1. Place an incline bench in front of a high cable pulley with its back toward the machine, and attach a straight bar.
2. Lie back and take an overhand shoulder-width grip with the bar above your head.
3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and your torso supported on the bench.
4. Pull the bar in an arc toward your upper thighs by moving at the shoulders, keeping the elbow angle steady.
5. Pause before the bar rests on your thighs, then guide it back overhead under control without lifting your torso.
