After two decades of weight training, I finally figured out how to do cable pressdowns.  The short ropes available commercially don't allow enough sideways spread for me to draw my arms back and to the sides, which apparently is necessary for me to engage my triceps adequately in this movement.  As a bonus, my whole back has to work really hard to stabilize my shoulders, and I'm getting stronger at peak contraction in rowing movements.
