    I would still consider that a triceps pushdown if the only thing which changed was the attachment used. Different bar shapes were developed to better isolate specific parts of a movement, or the muscle involved, or sometimes simply for comfort…my wrists rebel doing pushdowns with a straight bar, but are perfectly fine if I use a slanted bar.

    @nossmf instead of letting the elbows in and just using the forearms, I had straight arms from the top to bottom. She said it was more for the middle back. No matter what muscle was used, I enjoyed trying something new. Thank you for your insight

    Gotcha, yes you are describing a "straight arm lat pulldown", where the "lat" refers to the latissimus dorsi muscles in your back.
