It is one of the most stimulating exercises to the entire triceps muscle group in the upper arm, [citation needed] and works the triceps from the elbow all the way to the latissimus dorsi.

While executing a rope push-down, the palms face in and the arms internally rotate while pushing down. This variation works all three parts of the triceps, but especially the lateral head (coloured yellow Figure 2). [1] Figure 2: The triceps muscle, showing the lateral head (yellow), the long head (red) and the medial head (green).
The triceps, or triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. It consists of three parts: the medial, lateral, and long head. [1] It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).
The triceps brachii has a potential to entrap the radial nerve in the triangular interval secondary to hypertrophy. The presence of a fibrous arch in the long head and lateral head further complicates the situation. Repeated forceful extension seen in weight training and sport involving punching may be a precedent to this scenario.
The infraglenoid tubercle is the part of the scapula from which the long head of the triceps brachii muscle originates. The infraglenoid tubercle is a tubercle located on the lateral part of the scapula, inferior to (below) the glenoid cavity. The name infraglenoid tubercle refers to its location below the glenoid cavity.
