Pushdown, Incline Instructions

Pushdown, Incline Technique

Lie on incline bench facing away from high pulley. Grasp cable attachment overhead with overhand narrow grip. Position elbow to sides, slightly up.

Pushdown, Incline Form

Extend arms with elbows stationary. Return until forearm is close to upper arm. Repeat.
