Vortex Tricep Extension - Plate Loaded

Triceps Extension Plate-Loaded Machine — Vortex Series

Supported Triceps Isolation | Rotating Handles | 3mm Steel Frame | 126.5kg Build | Model BL06

Triceps are two-thirds of the upper arm, and the extension is the movement that builds them - if the elbows stay put. The Vortex Triceps Extension fixes the upper arms on angled support pads and runs the extension on a plate-loaded lever, so every kilo goes through the triceps and none of it leaks into the shoulders.

Rotating handles let the wrist find a joint-friendly line under load, and independent arms give you single-arm work when one side lags. At 126.5kg on a 1575 x 1630mm footprint it's one of the most compact machines in the series, which makes it an easy addition to any arm zone.

Key Features

• Angled arm support pads — lock the upper arms in place for strict triceps isolation
• Rotating handles — adjustable grip positions that keep the wrist and elbow aligned through the extension
• Independent arms — bilateral or single-arm extensions to balance left and right
• Plate-loaded resistance — Olympic plates on the horns, no stack to outgrow
• 3mm commercial steel frame — heavy-gauge steel (measured before painting), powder-coated for daily commercial use
• Made to order in your colours — 16 frame colours and 12 upholstery colours in a compact footprint

Frequently Asked Questions

What muscles does it work?
All three heads of the triceps, with the elbows fixed on the pads so the shoulders and chest can't take over the way they do on a pushdown or skull crusher.

Why rotating handles?
The wrist wants to turn slightly as the elbow extends. Fixed grips fight that and load the joint; rotating handles follow it, so the stress stays on the muscle.

Can I train one arm at a time?
Yes - the arms are independent, so single-arm sets and left-right balancing are built in.

What plates does it take?
Standard Olympic plates - bumpers, rubber-coated or iron. Plates are sold separately.

What pairs with it for arms?
The Vortex Biceps Curl - the same supported, plate-loaded format for the front of the arm.

Can I choose my own colours?
Yes - made-to-order units come in your choice of 16 frame colours and 12 upholstery colours, with logo branding available on request. See the chart above.
