Fortunately, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/phil-heath-s-50-incredible-arm-training-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olympia great often shares his tips<\/a> for free via social media, so that you can replicate his reps.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Triceps Pushdown Exercise For Building Mass<\/h2>\n<p>Triceps pushdowns, often referred to as \u2018triceps pulldowns\u2019 are an isolation exercise that target the medial head (near the elbow) and lateral head (in the center) of the triceps. The lateral head is the part of the triceps that is often associated with that much coveted horseshoe shape that bodybuilders chase. This makes triceps pushdowns an excellent choice for building bigger arms and they will also improve your strength on other lifts, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Phil Heath\u2019s Triceps Pushdown Hacks<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s an added benefit to your tricep pulldowns,\u201d shared Heath with his 4.4 million Instagram followers. \u201cAnd, I know a lot of you guys, myself included when I first started doing these, you always come down and see how my elbows are flared out?\u201d Heath demonstrated a triceps pushdown with elbows distanced apart, noting that there\u2019s an instinct to do it this way when the focus is on spreading the rope handles apart. \u201cNow, here\u2019s my challenge to you,\u201d he went on. \u201cBring these elbows in as close as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/arm-exercises\/3-triceps-extension-variations-and-their-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">second variation<\/a>, Heath brought his arms together so that they were practically touching his obliques. \u201cAnd this is the finish, right here,\u201d showed the show-stopping bodybuilder. With his arms now together, there is less of a proclivity to spread the ropes, and more focus on the downward vertical motion. \u201cYou can kind of tell that if you get (your elbows in) closer, you see more (vertical movement) here than if (my elbows) were just out here.\u201d This master tip makes great sense, because a huge aspect of triceps pushdowns in the flexing of the elbow, and this is heightened when the vertical line is straightened, rather than when the elbows were flared out and trying to pull the ropes from side-to-side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then, if you want to add some more degree to difficulty, hold for as long as you can on these last three reps\u201d added Heath. In this demonstration, with the rope now at the bottom of the movement, The Gift grabbed hold of the rope handles and held the weight down for as long as possible, adding the element of time under tension for maximum effect. \u201cTechnique and time under tension has been awesome for me,\u201d concluded Heath.
