Açıklama
The Tate Press is a specialized triceps isolation exercise popularized by renowned powerlifter Dave Tate. Lying flat on a bench, dumbbells are held over the chest, and the elbows are flared outward as the dumbbells are lowered toward the chest. This movement maximally activates the medial and inner heads of the triceps. Unlike the classic skull crusher, the plane of motion is different, placing a specific emphasis on the medial head of the triceps. It is widely used by powerlifters to improve bench press performance. It also develops bench press lockout strength. When performed regularly, it provides significant improvements in triceps inner and medial head hypertrophy, back-of-arm definition, and overall bench press performance.
