Combine the face pull, triceps extension and straight-arm pulldown into one set when you're pressed for time or looking for a new challenge. Here's how.
This tri-set uses rope handles attached at the top of a cable column (above your head). Do these exercises back-to-back:
A – Rope Face Pull
B – Rope Triceps Extension
C – Compound Straight-Arm Pulldown
Instead of performing the rope triceps extension, you can perform overhead rope triceps extensions (facing away from the cable column). Also, instead of doing the compound straight-arm pulldown, you can substitute straight-arm pulldowns with a rotation.
You hear these words all the time, but do you even know what they really mean? It's time to stop it with the nerdy buzzwords and go back to basics. Start here.
