    I see... Those pushdowns(both rev/and reg) have always served me well(and I'd rather do the rev grip w/one arm)... Found tha the farther you start away from cable, when reached failure... Just take a step in and you can manipulate using the same weight and change the angle of movement by stepping in and use it as a drop set...

    you put that tension at the end of the movement and it makes a great finisher!

    What a trip. I do the exact same thing. One armed reverse grip tricep cable. I have never seen anyone else do them, you're the first person I have ever heard say you do it. it has worked wonders for my triceps. They used to be my worst part, way behind the development of the rest of me. I looked stupid with a 50 inch chest and 15" arms. mostly biceps. So I hit triceps HARD for about 6 months. Now they are overpowering my biceps which is how it should be... the tricep is 3/4 of your arm. Close grip bench also put on a lot of meat, but my favorite for mass is the reverse grip cable pushdown.

    Yeah... Do you do them standing back too(to where your elbow and you holding the grip is at a 90* angle) then take the steps in to drop set with the same weight... It's awesome and it's hitting/nailing the lateral head(short head) which gives that angle out and widening the tris from a straight on look!

    Ps - I believe tris are 3/5ths of the total arm lolol

    Fukin technical. LOL. yes by muscle count they are. I stand corrected.

    I'm not sure what you're describing here but it sounds interesting. Holding the grip at a 90° angle while standing back? I may need a sketch of this or some kind of illustration. Sounds interesting and I'd love to try it if I can grasp what you are explaining.

    Yeah it's cool you can use the same weight to actually do a drop set by starting in the hardest position -
    Think of a one arm rev tri extension stand back far enough to where your elbow and hand w/attachment are at 90* then start - when you hit failure take one big step in go beyond failure ten one more step in and you'll stay within 1-3 reps on those Drops
