Tricep pushdowns work the whole tricep?

[Goldy]

Does the tricep pushdown routine work the whole tricep? If u go from high to low weight?

i don't think so...best tri exercies are lockouts, close grip press and then decline ext i wood say...anything that's overhead like a standing ext will hit the long head mainly which has the most growth potential out the 3

Personally I only use Tri Pushdowns as the final exercise after three sets of Overhead Ext and Skullcrushers respectively.

That is, if my tri's have anything left to give

I pretty much follow the same routine as Fly, the pushdowns seem to only concentrate on the long head for me.
Every now and then I'll throw in some tricep kickbacks for variety, they seem to work the outer head for me.

Nah, you can cheat quite a bit with pushdowns. Your best bet for doing those is to just get a full movement, almost letting the plates clack together. I do overhead extensions and shoulder press, to really get in there. Overhead extensions are very good for isolating the triceps.
