Tricep Rope Pulldown

[amizzle]

Hey guys,

What is the go? I just can't gain anything on the Tricep Rope Pulldown.

Our gym only has 5kg increments so I'm stuck on 15kg which I can do 30 reps of it if I want to at once and still won't get tired but can only do around 4 reps of 20kg.

What can I do?

Routine looks like -

Dumbell Press
Dumbell Press Incline
Chest Dips
Tricep Dips
Tricep Rope Pulldown

gains aren't just going to miraculously appear, it takes time. hold the rope higher up, i find this works better

Yes, hold it little higher. Lol i can do 30 reps with 15kg too, but i can handle 20kg for let's say 8 clean reps?

4 weeks is a really short time, progression on isolation lifts are usually very slow. And instead of doing 30 reps of 15kg just grab a 5-10 lb plate and hang it on the hook so you dont have to do 30 reps but can still do more than 4 reps of the 20kg

Close grip bench press / Skullcrushers / Dips

Close grip bench press is the best

I had the same exact problem with pulldowns. no gains! triceps dips are awesome so keep that, but you might want to do skullcrushers (I like to do mine with dumbbells) instead of pulldowns. Close grip bench is also good but you have so many other exercises for chest there so you might not want to do that.

Dips
Close grip BP
Skull crushers
Overhead tricep extension
Kickbacks

Trial and error my friend!

See what works best for you and good luck

I just add weight whenever I feel like for isolations.

Don't know if this helps, but my gym has 2 of the things where you attach the bar or rope to, and they're right next to each other. So I put the rope one on then the V shaped bar on the other and superset them, rope first.
