Common Mistakes
Elbow Flaring
Allowing the elbows to move away from the body during the pushdown reduces the isolation on the triceps and can place undue stress on the shoulder joint. This often indicates using too much weight or poor control.
Partial Range of Motion
Not fully extending the elbows at the bottom or not allowing a full stretch at the top limits the muscle's time under tension and restricts full triceps activation, hindering hypertrophy and strength gains.
Excessive Torso Lean/Rocking
Leaning forward excessively or rocking the torso to generate momentum indicates that the weight is too heavy. This reduces triceps isolation and shifts the work to the back and shoulders, increasing the risk of lower back strain.
