SIGNATURE SERIES TRICEPS PRESS (FZTP) 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 

 

Muscles Exercised 

– Triceps 

 

Setup

  

 
Adjust seat up or down so that elbows are bent at 90 degree angles when 
gripping the handles. Select desired weight. Rotate handles inward or outward 
as desired. Rest feet on floor. Keep back slightly arched and head up. 

NOTE: To allow for more range of motion, or, less range of motion, adjust seat 
height accordingly. 

 

Performing the Exercise 
 

With back on the pad and elbows close to your sides, slowly press the handles 
down. Do not lock elbows at the bottom of the pressing motion. Slowly return 
handles to start position. 

TIP: For added variety, use large ends of handles to isolate triceps and 
pectorals.
