Tricep presses on the cable tower are an exercise to train the triceps in isolation. The underhand grip tends to work the medial head of the triceps (lying on the inside). The one-armed version allows you to concentrate on just one side. You can do this exercise to compensate for muscular imbalances.
Exercise

One-arm underhand grip
Type: Unilateral
Rest: 120s
Equipment: Kabelzug
Tutorial
1
Start by adjusting the cable to about head height and use a simple handle for one hand.
2
Stand in front of the cable tower and grasp the handle with your left hand in an underhand grip so that your palm is facing upwards.
3
Now fully extend your left arm in a powerful but controlled manner. Exhale and tense the triceps hard.
4
Bend your left elbow slowly and under full control until the maximum flexion in the elbow is reached and the hand no longer approaches the shoulder. The upper arm remains in the same position as at the beginning. Breathe in as you do this.
5
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions with the left side first and continue with the right side after a 60-second break.
Tip
Make sure that your upper arms do not move outwards and that you do not use your upper body to push. Always keep your upper body straight throughout the exercise. The elbow is only extended by the triceps muscles.
