Replacement Exercise

Ravenbeauty Posts: 3,755 Joined: 2002/09/24	2003/02/07, 03:16 AM As most of you probably know, ravenwolf and i got a new workout center and it is awesome, btw. But!! I have a problem, i have the tricep cable pushdown exercises coming up and unfortunately until we find a solution, i am unable to perform those. i need to know if there is another similar exercise to that one that will work out the same area of the triceps(mass and outer areas)? i would like to be able to have the closest replacement to this one i can until we can get the cable system to perform adequately. thanks! ---------------------------- Bettia....

You can also use the lat attachment as a cable pushdown exercise if you must stick with a cable-type exercise. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

You get a nice long range of motion and the angle of the exercise and point of peak contraction is similar to pushdowns. It's easiest to do one arm at a time. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
