Using a rope allows you to extend your range and separate your hands at the bottom of the movement, increasing triceps activation and contraction.
Instructions
- Attach a rope to a high pulley and grip both ends with palms facing in.
- Keep elbows tucked and stand upright.
- Push the rope downward, spreading the ends apart at the bottom.
- Pause briefly, then return to the top with control.
- Repeat for the desired reps, focusing on a full extension.
