Straight bar push-down is a variation that involves connecting a straight bar attachment to a cable machine. In executing this variation, the bar is gripped with the knuckles facing up and the elbows are held close to the body. This variation targets the long head of the triceps (coloured red in Figure 2). [1]
Do not hold the arms straight over the face at 12 o'clock, but rather at an angle more like 10 o'clock, with feet at 3 o'clock. All of the weight should be on the triceps. Now bend the arms at the elbow, bringing the bar down close to the top of the forehead. Keep the elbows in the same position, do not let them sway outward.
The bar can be moved higher or lower to make the movement easier or more difficult. The lower the bar is, the more difficult the movement becomes. The exercise can be performed in a home environment, as well, with the help of two chairs and a bar (for example a mop handle).
An anti-roll bar (roll bar, anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is an automobile suspension part that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It links opposite front or rear wheels to a torsion spring using short lever arms for anchors.

A lifter can elect to lower the bar to nipple level, to the xiphoid process, or even further, to the abdomen. On the other hand, a lifter may lower the bar to a very high point on the chest, or even to the neck; the latter variation is called a guillotine press (also known as a redneck press or neck press) and emphasizes the upper pectorals.
The example to the right spends over half of the cycle in the near-straight portion. The coupler (link 3) point stays within 1% positional tolerance while intersecting the ideal straight line 6 times. The linkage was first shown in Paris on the Exposition Universelle (1878) as "The Plantigrade Machine".
A Jaeger or Jäger is a move on horizontal bar or uneven bars in artistic gymnastics in which a gymnast swings backward in L-grip or reverse grip, and performs a front somersault, either in tuck, straddled, piked, or in layout (straight) position.
