This isn’t a tricep pushdown yall. You should be keeping those arms straight and pulling in almost an arc
Is it correct that this also requires a lot of strength in the core?
You shouldn't do it exactly as shown in the example picture. Please Google it and check the proper posture.
The device is too short, so even if I raise it as much as possible, it only comes up to my neck. Should I bend down more?
•그립: 어깨너비 스트레이트바, 오버핸드(손바닥 아래로) •자세: 상체 약간 전경(15~20도), 가슴 펴고 복부 긴장 •팔: 살짝 굽힌 상태 유지, 팔꿈치 고정 •동작: 팔꿈치 고정한 채 바를 허벅지까지 직선으로 내려 •상단: 어깨 올리지 말고 광배 늘어나는 느낌 •하단: 광배 수축, 반동 없이 멈춤 •호흡: 내릴 때 내쉬고 올릴 때 들이마심 •흔한 실수: 팔꿈치 움직임·허리 젖힘·바운스 사용 금지

[Settings] • Connect a straight bar to the top of the cable machine • Lean the upper body slightly forward and bend the knees slightly for stability • Keep the arms almost straight (a slight bend is allowed), and open the chest [Method] 1. While keeping the arms straight, pull the bar down to the front of the thighs with the feeling of pulling with the lats 2. Keep the wrists and elbows fixed, and think of only moving the back and shoulders (lats) 3. Pause for 1 second at the bottom and feel a strong contraction in the lats 4. Slowly return to the starting position while stretching the lats [Precautions] • Do not bend the elbows and pull with the biceps (this breaks the isolation of the lats) • Do not arch the back or use momentum to lower the weight • Do not be greedy with the weight; prioritize the feeling of contraction and relaxation in the lats • Lower the bar only until it touches the thighs, and do not push it lower • 3 sets of 12–15 reps, with 60 seconds of rest • Since this is an isolation exercise, focus on using a light weight to concentrate the stimulus
4 sets of 120 got that burn like a hot stove top. Lawd have moicy!
• Setting: Connect the straight bar to the top of the cable machine, slightly bend the knees and stabilize the waist, lean the upper body forward at about 30° and hold it. • Grip: Hands facing down (pronated), slightly wider than shoulder-width. • Posture: Keep the elbows fixed, use only the forearms to pull the cable down towards the thighs without moving the upper arms. • Breathing: Exhale when pulling, inhale when returning to the starting position. • Points: Focus on the contraction of the latissimus dorsi, no bouncing or upper body swaying. - Maintain elbows close together. - Keep wrists neutral to avoid bending. - Do not excessively increase the weight to prevent shoulder or lower back involvement. - Pause briefly at the end point and feel the contraction.
The feeling of putting my chest between my arms <<< I don't know ㅠ I still can't get a sense of it.
• Setting: Cable at the top, straight bar attached / Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent for stability • Grip: Thumbless (excluding the thumb) → Reduce forearm involvement and focus on the lats • Posture: Chest slightly out, upper body at a 10-15° angle forward, waist fixed • Movement: - At the start, arms almost straight, bar positioned next to the ears - When pulling down, do not bend the elbows and move in a straight line to the side of the thighs - At the end point, feel the lower lats "squeeze" for 1 second - Slowly control back to the starting position (no bouncing) - Do not arch the back, do not shrug the shoulders - Prioritize the stimulus over the weight (RPE 7-8 is appropriate)
