Cable pushdown (with rope attachment)
Cable pushdown (with rope attachment) is a moderate exercise. It trains triceps.
Detailed explanation
Attach a rope attachment to a high pulley on a cable machine. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and a slight bend in your knees. Grasp the rope with an overhand grip, palms facing each other.
