The triceps heads work together. You are going to have trouble isolating specific heads, but certain grips on exercises are going to be more intense on specific heads.
Other people will help you with this.

I believe you would. With the cable pressdown, you can always use the rope feature and change your hand positioning, along with changing the rope angles.
I've never had a problem with working the triceps, and I don't do too many isolation exercises for them. Skullcrushers seem to give them the best workout in my experiences.Last edited by Sleepstream; 12-23-2006 at 06:22 PM.
