    I just learned about the tate press a few months ago and I have done it probably 6-7 times. I am seeing some great results and one thing that I really like about it is that alleviates some of the pressure on my elbows that skull crushers and some of the other more popular tricep exercises tend to cause me. Definitely give this a try!
