Rope Triceps Pushdown
Rope pushdowns for a stronger contraction and triceps separation. It works mainly the triceps.
Flawless ranks it by lifetime volume: Gold, the third of eight ranks, starts at 25,000 kg.
How to do Rope Triceps Pushdown
- Set the rope on the high pulley, take both ends with a neutral grip and step back so the cable is tight; elbows bent and at your sides.
- Push the rope down until the arms are straight, pulling the ends apart at the bottom.
- Squeeze the triceps for a second with the palms facing back and down.
- Let the rope rise slowly until the forearms pass horizontal; the upper arms don't move.
These are the same steps you see in the exercise guide in the Flawless app.
