      The rope thing? Are there ani's of this, I don't get it?

      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:

      Dips are better

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

      Weighted dips are better

      Fixed that for you. :wink:

      "Rope thingie."


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

      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.
