The video addresses a common issue in tricep workouts where individuals become strong enough that traditional exercises like dips require either excessive weight or an impractical number of repetitions to be effective. This can lead to other muscle groups, such as the chest and shoulders, becoming limiting factors or taking on too much work. To counter this, the video suggests incorporating cable tricep pushdowns into the workout routine. By performing four or five sets of pushdowns close to failure, individuals can achieve significant muscle stimulus with minimal external loading or excessive reps. This approach allows for a more efficient workout, enabling the triceps to be effectively targeted without overworking other muscles. After completing the pushdowns, individuals can then perform their dip sets with fewer reps and sets, achieving better results with less effort.
