The Athena cable attachment for Rep Fitness allows bands on the weight stacks so you get the benefit of quick weight selection plus progressive resistance from the bands KILLER for tricep extensions! I wish there was a device that let you measure what the real weight resistance was at various points of the lift though. Doing it this way lets you do drop sets on last set and absolutely torch the triceps.
It looks like you've turned the press down into a push up. Another way, would be to just try some variation of push ups or dips, may be band assisted, or use a band to change strength curves and do some drop sets. You don't need to make your home workout look like a gym workout...
Yes the press down into a pushup is somewhat intentional. I tend to do a hybrid pushup style press down when I'm using more resistance because I find that a bit easier on the elbows
You've convinced me to get more of the same resistance bands to do band drop sets give more variety. Thank you!
Ya it's just a fun way to give bands like Therabands, which are sort of the de facto PT clinic bands, a bit more juice :)
