Standing Rope French Press

March 27, 2020 | John Paul Catanzaro

Some people think that the Standing Rope French Press is some kind of specialty coffee. It’s not… it’s a great “elbow-friendly” exercise that emphasizes the long head of the triceps. Make sure to keep your glutes tensed and core braced throughout the set, get your biceps as close to your ears as possible, and lower the rope all the way down to get a good stretch in the bottom position. Put your ego aside and use a weight that will allow you to maintain strict form while you concentrate on the triceps muscle.
