  • @pizzaloco
    @pizzaloco Месяц назад +138

    Studies on this actually showed that medial and lateral heads of the triceps grew more with overhead extensions, and long head grew more with extensions in shoulder extension - its fully shortened position. This is due to the long heads leverage being very poor when fully stretched, so the muscles with greater leverage will contribute more. Jeff has a tendency to just copy what other people say, specifically “more stretch = more growth.” There’s more nuance to it than that, only certain muscles grow better in stretched position due to their length-tension relationship (e.g calves).

    • @User1245..
      @User1245.. Месяц назад +31

      Correct. The long head has leverage to extend the shoulder in high degrees of humeral elevation, but not the elbow (so the overhead tricep extension doesn’t make sense to train the long head, however a pullover would).
      And I completely agree. Stretch mediated hypertrophy has been grossly oversimplified to “everything grows better at long lengths.” I wish ppl would try to understand operating sarcomere lengths and passive tension.

    @jusgare Месяц назад +10

    As a physical therapist assistant who loves anatomy - yes! Tricep kickbacks puts the long head into “active insufficiency,” which basically means a multi-joint muscle (long head of the triceps, long head of biceps, hamstrings, etc.), is shortened over both joints it crosses, which makes it contract and work less efficiently than if it wasn’t shortened. A cool way to test this is to try and do a hamstring curl with the hip fully extended vs. having a bit of hip flexion in there

    • @Melkrek
      @Melkrek Месяц назад +1

      Yeah I thought the same thing. I'm not sure why you would look for a peak contraction when the muscle is weaker in the kickback. Neither the kickback or the overhead extension matches well with the muscles strength curve.
