Different training movements also train different muscle groups in different ways. Some movements specifically train a certain part in isolation, but most movements jointly train an entire muscle group. Rope push-down is a relatively good exercise. Today we will tell you where the rope push-down mainly exercises the three heads and some precautions during the exercise.

The rope push-down mainly exercises the triceps

Everyone with fitness experience knows that the "rope push-down" "It is a very classic triceps movement, and it is also one of the few movements that can fully train the three heads of the triceps! Thanks to the flexible grip selection, free weight adjustment and longer stretching range, it can be used by both men and women. Students can adjust the training intensity of the triceps without being limited to the weight and trajectory of the equipment. The rope push-down is safer and more efficient than the close-grip bench press and the "skull crusher".

Note:

Keep the upper arm close to the body

The choice of grip will affect the position of the upper arm. When you choose a straight bar or a curved bar for pull-down movements, whether you hold it with an overhand grip or an underhand grip, the grip distance is wider than that of the rope, and you need to turn your wrist to grasp the handle. When the weight is heavier, it may put pressure on the wrist and shoulder joints. When choosing to hold the rope oppositely, our upper arms are closer to the body and the elbows are in a clamped state. In this state, we can pull the rope to a lower position. The longer movement stroke will help improve the sensitivity of the triceps and focus on the contraction of the triceps.
