Introduction:

If you are confused about which grip to use for triceps, some say the straight bar is good, some say the So V- bar is good, some say the rope is good, and some say the EZ bar is good. So which grip will be better for you? I will clear this confusion today. So read this blog till the end.

Which grip we should use for tricep pushdown movement?

To clear this confusion, you have to understand what your carrying angle is. For that, you have to straighten your hand like this. Then you will see two types of carrying angles here at the elbow joints.

So if it is your first one, then you should not do triceps pushdown with a straight bar. This can cause you a problem in your elbow and also lead to tennis elbow because the plane of motion of your carrying angle and the external force here are misaligned. So this is why you can have a problem with your elbow in the future.

But if your carrying angle comes in the second picture, then you can perform triceps push down with a straight bar. But it has been seen that doing triceps pushdown with a straight bar sometimes causes discomfort in the wrist.

Conclusion:

So I suggest everyone that you perform triceps push down with single-handed rope, or you can perform triceps push down by using a double rope. This will help you to divide your weight, so you will feel more effective and achieve better hypertrophy. So for more such content, please follow my Instagram page and support me. Thank you.
