    It's not a tricep exercise exactly (although they will get engaged to an extent, as will the arms generally, upper body and core) but this is a good reason to spend time on the rope.

    Face pulls. Always do face pulls. And tricep pull downs, bicep curls and cable crunches using the rope. The cable pulley is a big part of why I go to a gym at all, anyone can have freeweights at home. Not everyone has a cable system though.

    i think it's just the lack of dip.

    Just noticed this at the gym today, but such a turn on, don't know why? Just being honest, not trying to offend anyone btw.

    Anyone else feel the same? :)

    I use it from time to time, to work the tri's....
    But hey, if it is a turn on..... :drinker:

    I tend to do dips earlier in the workout and cable stuff at the end.

    "Rope thingie."


    It just conjures an entirely different image in my head. I'll leave it at that.

    I do quite a bit of cable pulley related tricep work. I actually find it very comfortable to do. Very proud of the progress I've made on my triceps.

    But not trying to be sexy about it or anything. That just causes the women to throw up in their own mouths a little bit I've noticed.
    Eh, I just stare because I would feel like a total fool doing it, as I have no idea what to do lol.

    If you ever don't know what an exercise is, just wait for the person to finish their set, and then ask them if they would mind showing you how to do it. They will most likely show you how, so you do one set, thank them, and then come back to it after they are done.
