Tricep Rope Extension

The tricep rope extension is an awesome exercise for isolating the triceps and making them burn! The rope allows for a greater range of motion and forces your tricep muscles to work independently of each other. Many bodybuilders use the tricep rope extension as a support exercise after doing the bigger tricep exercises like skullcrushers and close grip bench press.

Read below for how to do a tricep rope extension using correct technique. We use tricep rope extension in our tricep workouts. We have a good selection of tricep workouts available and you can choose a workout to suit your goals.
