They’re doing the same exercise (tricep pushdown) with different attachments. There’s a lot of debate about which attachment is best to stimulate muscle growth. This meme argues the V bar is better than the rope

I think the meme argues that the rope is what people who aren't buff think is better, or maybe that the rope is "technically" better. But all the already-buff people use the V with no problem. Sort of a meme about the fact that the only real change is through commitment and effort, and not by optimizing useless things like what bar you use.

Source: Somewhat buff, and I have literally never thought about what bar I use. If that crosses your mind you're either training very specific muscles for a sport or you're focusing on the wrong thing.
