Well, when preforming tricep pushdowns with either a rope or a bar, should I lock out each rep?

I always do. I lock them out as hard as possible and try to really squeeze the blood into the muscle. Feels like skipping lockout would only give partial development. JMO

i always lock out i mean you don't really hurt from pulldowns so it only makes sense to get the most out of them.

What do you guys mean by "lock out"?

I find sometimes with ropes it is difficult to lock out becuse the rope doesn'tstretch far enough for you to do so, regardless of the weight.
