Exercise Profile

Pulley Triceps Pulldown Overview

The Triceps pulldown workout is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the Triceps.

The pulley system allows for controlled movement and isolates the Triceps, minimizing involvement of other muscles.

By attaching a handle to the pulley, the exercise involves pulling the weight downwards, activating the Triceps.

This workout effectively strengthens and tones the Triceps, making it an ideal exercise for upper body development.
