Pushdown (exercise)

Pushdown on a cable machine

A pushdown is a strength training exercise used for strengthening the triceps muscles in the back of the arm. The exercise is completed by pushing an object downward against resistance. It is a little known fact that doing the triceps pushdown also works the biceps muscle as well.^{[citation needed]} This is also vice-versa for the bicep curls, which work the triceps.^{[citation needed]}
