How to do it

  1. 01

    Position a bar in a rack at chest height.

  2. 02

    Standing, take a shoulder width grip on the bar and step a yard or two back, feet together and arms extended so that you are leaning on the bar. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    Begin by flexing the elbow, lowering yourself towards the bar.

  4. 04

    Pause, and then reverse the motion by extending the elbows.

  5. 05

    Progress from bodyweight by adding chains over your shoulders.

In the app

Body Tricep Press needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

Same pattern, with kit

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
