form is very important.alot of people want to look all tough doing heavy weight but form always comes first.as you get stronger with more experience you will eventually be able to control that heavy weight anyway.
You need to exhale on exertion (against the resistance) as she instructed. This aids in core engagement and force-production during the contraction. I'd be curious to see the websites you mention that are suggesting to reverse the breathing.
Why are guys I'm not saying all have to be so sexist about girl lifting weights and being able to do a properly formed exercise I don't get it women have the right to look good and to be fit. I understand some other guys love girls that lift but for some reason others just get offended by girls being muscular. Now common its 2014 a women has the right do what she wants with her body.
You're bringing the bar, back up too high. The forearms should just be slightly higher than horizontal with the floor, this keeps the tension on for maximum benefit!
Would the rope's ability to separate be an advantage to the bar, in working the tri's? I used the bars myself, and I'm considering swapping to the ropes. Any pros or cons to either? Thanks!
Aren't you not suppose to let your arms go up that high? Though it should go higher than the bottom of your chest? Must Tuts I see stress about keeping the bad under your chest.
I can't "squeeze" my tricepts because I don't have any! It is so difficult to get them activated. My abs and biceps end up doing all the work. And they get tired before I can feel it in my triceps:(
+Luke Brown I might as well focus on my unicorn-muscle. The tricep muscle just isn't there (and I am using a hyperbole here. Obviously I understand that I have one, but it is so tiny it can't do anything).
Look at wikipedia / google the anatomy of this muscle. The only way to extend your arm (non-passively) is for the tricep to shorten. If your hand is closer to your sholder and you make you hand go further away from the shoulder (not using gravity, obviously), then the triceps DID make that happen. If you can do more than 15 reps, it's harder to build strength and muscle. Working out the tricep until it has a harder time pushing the weight, or if it becomes very hard to make the cable move...then you're wearing it out. Give it 2 days recovery time, go again. It WILL become stronger. This is an isolation exercise - ONLY the tricep is contracting, so it is doing the work. if ANYTHING else is moving - i.e. torso swaying forward, etc, then those muscles are providing momentum. You don't actually HAVE to think about anything. If you simply do the exercise properly, and you eat enough protein..you WILL gain a bigger tricep. Remember, weight is important. If you want strength, do 6-10 reps. If it's possible to do more...then just add more weight and try again. keep adding until you can only do 6-15. I think a weight that you can only 6 of is risky - risk of bad form, etc. I like 8, but 12-15 is fine. More is good too, but you will gain less strength, probably, but more endurance (fwiw). Both are important, but if you want strength, once again, add weight untill you can only go so long. All these bodybuilders like warm up sets, so those are good idea, I'm sure. resting between sets is important. I do my rest by just doing a different muscle (it's called a superset). In my experience, 1 set is ok, but gains are slow. 2 sets is good - you will gain muscle. 3 sets is amazing- you will DEFINITELY gain noticeable muscle (it takes up to a a week to feel a change, more in a month, visuals may take longer - i.e. losing body fat, more muscle, etc needed for that)> 3 sets is also risky - I've had injuries, little ones, but they did sideline a muscle group, so I suggest starting with 2 sets , you'll gain muscle and strength and feel tighter.
One more tip...the tri-ceps are call that because it's actually like one muscle on one end (on the other side of the elbow), that splits into three muscles, that attache at three different points on/near the shoulder. To make sure you (somewhat) wear out all three, do the exercise in the video at three angles: - flat bar (like in the video) - 45 degree angle (thumb closer to ceiling). i.e. v-bar or the wiggly cable called the ezbar - 90 degrees (like a handshake - thumb is closest to ceiling, pinky closest to floor).
@John51671 there are many tricep workouts on youtube with chairs and cheap sets of dumbells. Everyone is tired after work, school exc. thats not an excuse. If you want results you need hard work and sacrifice..SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP
i like that she's always emphasizing on taking the weight off if its too heavy. Ive seen people lifting to heavy weights and their face gets all scrunched up and heaving and hoing pretty loudly and its SO freakin annoying
That's known as doing sets till failure... if you're trying to increase muscle mass a little grunting is natural. Also helps release testosterone and beat PRs. If you're a filthy casual and don't care about strength training then I can see how it would be annoying. Kappa
I love ALL of her videos!! 9 years later they are still very EFFECTIVE!
Absolutely
I am commenting after 13 years, still same effective
there are a lot of tutorials for this exercise but this is the most straightforward and emphasizes what we need to focus on. Thanks.
Has this chick got her own channel? I love her!

She’s amazing at explaining
One of the best video. 13 years back. People in old times really know the techinc well. Lots of people doing it wrong
I love how you explain the excercises, all of your videos, it's very easy to understand...love the tips and wrong way examples. Great job!
Before hitting to the gym....I just go through your tutorial....so I don't need any ptrainer around me....thanks... A ton ...love from ,🇮🇳 India
I absolutely love this woman! Such excellent & concise videos with perfect instructions! So grateful!!
🥰🙏♥️
Best instructor ever
This exercise works my triceps better than any other.
tcshy1903 It also fucks up your elbow
really short and perfect, thanks
Thank you for all of your amazing demo videos! I love adding these into my client's training plans for reference

Thank you Ma'am
Like the video very short and affirmative. Thanks a lot
Excellent, just what I needed to improve my work out.
thanks! just what was needed no extra bs.
Your good looks have motivated me to become a body-building crocodile wrangler
She's good
great tutorial
wonderful your videos are good.
Thanks for these videos !
Shes really helpful thanks.
I use resistance bands n the edge of a door but same idea great work!
Good form
thanks!

my name is skyler white, yo
Do you have a video on perfect squat?
thanks from my ladies looking for form
So pretty!
how is that full range of motion of the triceps if the shoulders are fixed,, when the triceps proximal function is to extend the shoulder....
You're bringing the bar, back up too high. The forearms should just be slightly higher than horizontal with the floor, this keeps the tension on for maximum benefit!
you are a great trainer, i love your arms.How many differen't exercises should i do to get arms like that?
No dont try 2 hit on her
So lovely...
Would the rope's ability to separate be an advantage to the bar, in working the tri's? I used the bars myself, and I'm considering swapping to the ropes. Any pros or cons to either? Thanks!
some say the arms should make a perfect 90 degrees when coming up..
When you go heavy your form gets messed up no matter what tbh
Sick
does the bench press work on the triceps
if it does is it enough?
So if I do mine with a barbell, is it still called triceps push downs or is it a reverse curl?
Jennifer Lopez with muscles
She´s good
Aren't you not suppose to let your arms go up that high? Though it should go higher than the bottom of your chest? Must Tuts I see stress about keeping the bad under your chest.
Keeping it at a certain height changes the level of tension in the exercise. Both are still effective!
how do i do you?
Yeah, letting arms go way too high. But hey, she is a trainer at Golds. She must know what she is doing.

u beauty .. just subs .. nice videos ..
notice how she smiles at words thigh and squeeze @ 0:34
Isn't the cable supposed to travel straight down rather than at an angle?
yes bench press does work triceps. but iisn't enough to get big triceps,
Why doesnt f5 work anymore?? Its annoying even on the net now you cant escape adverts !!
yeah?
R ur knees bent,?
Erin, before the roids. I still miss this version of her.
Hi guys :) at @0:34 ... does she really says Mike Tyson :S ??? like the closed captions says :S ?
u forgot 2 things 1)DO NOT PUT ANY....ANY PRESSURE ON UR BACK
2)ELBOWS POSITON SHUD BE "LOCKED"
@John51671
there are many tricep workouts on youtube with chairs and cheap sets of dumbells. Everyone is tired after work, school exc. thats not an excuse. If you want results you need hard work and sacrifice..SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP
This chick is hot, and she knows what she's talking about.
My current girlfriend

Nabil Shah did you not see the Kappa? lol
she should be Lara Croft
Her surname is trapp lol, seems fitting
She shouldn’t be gripping the bar though. If you want to isolate the tricep, keep your hands loose on the bar.
It doesn't make sense that she is breathing out when engaging the muscle (pushing the bar down).
mkay?
mind keep that negative opinion to yourself?thank you
this is triceps pulldown not pushdown
Dam girl ur fine
nice pair of bolt ons but no triceps
Not at all correct....this form can improve from many points therefore increasing the squeeze and tension on the muscle
women are great sometimes.
ur arms are too far back and ur not getting that full contraction
I gotta push down something else
Girl is hot
to me I think she has a nice body shape im not into a kim kardashian look but this lady looks better
you need to learn how to behave properly my dear child
She has zero triceps so maybe 🤔 pointless telling others tights and wrong 😆
its a TRAPP!
she has broad chest!!!
this lady does not know what shes doing
too bad that she doesnt know how to do push downs
i hate seeing girls who are more toned than i am -.-
Ha women these days...
