Triceps Pushdown

[Steve526]

Hi all,

I have a relatively simple, question..When i do tricep pushdowns with the rope attachment I always end up having slight shoulder pain/stiffness after each set. It doesn't change whether I do light or heavy weight, and my form is fine. Is this normal?

Thanks alot,

Steve

try stretching youre shoulders more, and rolling youre shoulders in circles for a while before do them, i do em with a straight bar though

Without knowing what you are calling good form I can only make a couple suggestions:

1. Keep your shoulders rolled back during the entire movement.
2. Work on shoulder flexibility.
3. If you have a pre-existing injury there may be some things you need to do to address that.

Hope this helps,
