Rope Lat Pull Down

Utilizing a triceps rope for lat pull downs attached to a high cable pulley is excellent for functional grip strength. Scott Mendelson explains the execution and benefits of this exercise during a video demonstration. Bring the elbows to the bottom of the rib cage for a full range of motion.

The expanded range of motion on the bottom of the exercise allows for a higher quality contraction than a lat pull down using a bar for example. The elbows are not able to travel through a full range of motion when using the bar as it stops at the chest.

MMA fighter and other athletes needing to maximize grip strength earn tremendous benefits from using the triceps rope during pulling movements.
