Rope Tricep Pushdown

Arms

What makes or breaks this set is keeping your elbows pinned to your sides. The instant they drift forward or float upward, your chest and shoulders start sharing the work and your triceps get shortchanged. Start with your forearms roughly parallel to the floor, then push down and slightly apart, splitting the rope ends as your arms straighten. Squeeze hard at the bottom with your arms fully locked out, then let the rope rise back under control without letting your elbows travel with it.
