Tricep Pushdown

Trains triceps first — focused, direct, nothing hidden in the movement.

Muscle contribution per set

Triceps1

These are the weights Heatwayve's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.

Cable tricep pushdown with tempo; slow eccentric maximises long-head tension.

Elbows pinned to sides; full extension at bottom without locking harshly.

How Heatwayve progresses it

Progresses by load in +0.5kg steps — small muscles, small increments, long patience.

Same movement pattern, same progression continuity — these are the alternatives the app offers mid-session when a rack is taken or equipment isn't there.

Knowing the numbers is one thing; hitting them for fifty weeks is another. Open Heatwayve — it prescribes the weight, holds you to the tempo, and runs this arithmetic on every set you log so the week actually adds up.
