It would be oposite of the upper cable tricep. ---------------------------- "Get everthing you want--just make a little change now"

I'm not a big fan of these as they can damage your rotator cuff. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

Only if you're bent over will the emphasis shift more towards the upper back. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
