Tricep pressdowns - know the difference
V-bar Pressdown
Do V-bar pressdowns if stress on your forearms and wrist is an issue. The natural fixed position of your hands is often more comfortable than the straight bar or rope.
Straight-bar Pressdown
Use a straight bar when you want to push maximum weight, either for gains in size and strength, or simply to shock your triceps with heavier resistance.
Rope Pressdown
Choose a rope attachment when you want to achieve maximum squeeze in your triceps. The versatility of the rope lets you turn your hands out at the bottom of the movement, shifting stress to your outer triceps.
