Exercise of the Month: Double Rope Pushdowns

The double rope pushdowns are a great low impact exercise with minimal stress on the elbow joint.

Instructions:

1. Attach two cable ropes into the high pulley system with the tip of the rope placed through the carabineer.
2. Grab the ropes with a hammer grip and place your elbows tucked into your ribs.
3. Fully extend both elbows downward squeezing the triceps at lockout and then slowly return to the starting position.

Using two ropes will increase the range of motion of the elbow joint and will produce maximum stimulus of the triceps due to the isolated movement.
