Overview
The Rogue Tricep Push Down Attachment is a heavy-duty, overbuilt V-shaped handle designed to provide a new challenging grip element to your upper body training. Unlike standard tricep bars, this attachment features 3" diameter steel spheres welded to the ends of the handles, specifically designed to target the triceps and improve grip strength. It is an ideal companion for lat pulldown machines and the Spud Inc. Econo Pulley system.

Performance Benefits
Grip Variation: The large 3" steel spheres allow for multiple grip styles, including a "crush grip" over the balls or a standard V-bar grip, helping to increase neural drive to the triceps.
Stabilization: Heavy-duty construction helps eliminate the shaking and instability often found with lighter, hollow-core attachments, allowing for a more focused and "clean" eccentric and concentric phase.
Unilateral & Bilateral Work: While designed as a dual-handle attachment, the wide V-angle supports a natural hand position that reduces wrist strain during heavy pushdowns.
Enhanced Torque: The 1.31" diameter handles are slightly thicker than standard 1" bars, increasing forearm activation and overall grip endurance.
Maintenance and Care
Powder Coat Protection: To maintain the textured finish and prevent oxidation, wipe down the handles after each use with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove sweat and oils.
Sphere Inspection: Regularly check the welds between the handles and the spheres to ensure structural integrity, particularly if the attachment is dropped frequently in a commercial setting.
Carabiner Safety: Ensure the included 0.375" carabiner gate is functioning correctly and is not bent. Replace the carabiner if the locking mechanism becomes loose.
Storage: Store in a dry environment. While the powder coat is durable, it is best kept away from high-humidity areas to prevent surface rust on the mounting tab.
Warranty Information
Rogue Fitness warrants this product for Lifetime Construction against defects in material, functionality, and workmanship. This warranty covers the frame and welds but does not apply to the powder coat finish (normal wear and tear) or products damaged due to negligence or faulty storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it fit standard carabiners from other gym machines? A: Yes. The 0.375" mounting hole on the tab is designed to fit the provided Rogue carabiner as well as most standard commercial and home gym carabiners.
Q: Are the handles knurled? A: No, the handles feature a heavy textured black powder coat. This provides a very high-friction surface that mimics the feel of knurling without the abrasiveness of raw steel.
Q: Can this be used for curls? A: While primarily a pushdown attachment, it can be used for hammer curls or high-cable pulls (face pulls), though the sphere ends are specifically optimized for pressing movements.
