Standing One-Arm Rope French Press

April 09, 2021 | John Paul Catanzaro

When performing a One-Arm French Press, I prefer to use a rope attached to a mid-pulley rather than a bulky dumbbell. There’s ample clearance with the rope and the pulley provides smooth and constant tension throughout the movement. A dumbbell can be cumbersome and often people tilt their head forward to avoid a concussion!
