Other muscles worked include deltoids, triceps, and forearms. Equipment: dumbbells, cable machine or "pec deck" machine. Major variants: incline ~ (more emphasis on the upper pectorals), decline ~ (more emphasis on the lower pectorals), cable crossover. Cable crossovers; Dips
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.
Muscles which flex the elbow joint such as the biceps brachii muscle, brachialis muscles and brachioradialis muscle are active to improve leverage. [1] As the biceps originate on the scapula unlike the other two which originate on the humerus, the biceps are inclined to serve a role as a dynamic stabilizer, much as the hamstrings would during a ...

A trainer breaks down the benefits of performing push-pull workouts for muscle growth and a sample routine to maximize gains. ... while sufficient training volume accumulates enough total work to ...
The Push/pull/legs split consists of three different workout routines: First, the push muscles consisting of the chest, anterior and lateral deltoids, and triceps. Then, the exercises for pull muscles (latissimus, trapezius, rhomboids, biceps, and rear deltoids) are worked on the second day. The final workout consists of training the muscles of ...
Common superset configurations are two exercises for the same muscle group, agonist-antagonist muscles, or alternating upper and lower body muscle groups. [29] Exercises for the same muscle group (flat bench press followed by the incline bench press) result in a significantly lower training volume than a traditional exercise format with rests. [30]
The hamstrings, a muscle group at the back of the thigh, also get a workout. "During jumping jacks, the hamstrings control the knee movement and provide the effort needed to jump," Thompson says.
