Using Lat Pulldown Machine for Triceps

Could i use a lat pulldown machine for triceps? I would just simple reverse my grip and stand up instead of standing down and do them facing the machine. I normally do the rope pulldowns at the gym, but i plan to convert more and more to my house in the near future, and i think the fact that im using the lat bar instead of the rope pulldown doesnt make a huge difference (At least i think), i just closen my grip to make up for it.

Yep... you can purchase a v-bar of rope attachment at just about any sporting goods store.. fairly cheap.. or better yet.. make your own rope attachement..

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing

 

Yep,
 
A cable is a cable, its how you use it and with what attachment.
 
It sounds like a good plan for your home setup.
 
 
Rant:
But dont you hate people that do that at the gym? There was a guy doing today, on the lat-pulldown for ages working his tris, while the cable station sat empty.... grrrr.

I just use a simple piece of cloth I found at home for this.  (I train at home btw)

Motivation comes by itself when improvement is seen!

Nice idea actually.
