Push-down (exercise) Figure 1: Push-down on a cable machine. A push-down is a strength training exercise used for strengthening the triceps muscles in the back of the arm. This exercise can also be called a triceps push-down or a two-armed standing triceps extension. The exercise is completed by pushing an object downward against resistance.
The triceps are small, meaning they don’t require much weight to activate and tend to burn out quicker than larger muscles. ... “It looks easy, but it does require a lot of shoulder and elbow ...
Hold a dumbbell in each hand, hinge at the hips, and extend your arms backward. Squeeze your triceps at the top of the movement. Perform three sets of 15 to 20 reps to target the back of the arms ...
The anconeus muscle (or anconaeus / anconæus) is a small muscle on the posterior aspect of the elbow joint. Some consider anconeus to be a continuation of the triceps brachii muscle. [1][2][3] Some sources consider it to be part of the posterior compartment of the arm, [4] while others consider it part of the posterior compartment of the forearm.
The suprascapular, axillary, and radial nerves. The radial nerve is a nerve in the human body that supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb. It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm and the associated joints and ...
TA2. 1773. FMA. 38854. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The humeroulnar joint (ulnohumeral or trochlear joint[1]) is part of the elbow-joint. It is composed of two bones, the humerus and ulna, and is the junction between the trochlear notch of ulna and the trochlea of humerus. [1] It is classified as a simple hinge-joint, which allows ...
