Was worried when it refused to load but was in my inbox. Merry Xmas Jeff!

[@gigantkranion]

Oh that makes sense...

[@UltorRF]

Was it the function of triceps for shoulder extension instead of shoulder flexion? I was guessing that since you put all the info about positioning the shoulder into flexion probably was the reason for the error.

Sacha Krin That sounds like something BroScience would say haha

[@Hoezi02]

@@jessejive117 exactly my thought.

[@rcmp09]

A slight correction to around 5:08 in the video in regards to the mechanics at "Error 1" when comparing the torque when dropping the weight "down" rather than "back". In either position, once the forearm is parallel to the floor the torque at the elbow is as high as it can get and therefore the same regardless of any other positioning you make at the shoulder. The difference between the two positions in regards to the torque at the elbow joint, is just at what elbow angle peak external torque occurs. When bringing the weight "down", this occurs when the elbow is at around 90 degrees of elbow flexion since that is when the forearm is parallel to the floor. However, when bringing the weight "back" the peak torque occurs at a lower angle depending on how much shoulder flexion there is. Just estimating based on your position in the video, it would probably have peak elbow external torque when your elbow was around 45 to 65 degrees. The reason why the tension on the triceps is increased when bringing the weight "back" compared to "down" in the positions you described is due to the increased external torque pulling the shoulder into flexion, and therefore requiring additional tension from the long head of the triceps to generate more internal shoulder extension torque.

[@JeffNippard]

rcmp09 really appreciate the detailed clarification. If I had more time to explain the full detail I think I’d say exactly what you said here. This sounds exactly right to me.

Great video on the triceps. Skullcrusher, overhead cable extension, and overhead triceps extension with a dumbbell or resistance bands are overhead exercises. Tricep press down, cable triceps extension, and triceps extension with resistance bands are exercises that have your arms by your sides. Triceps kickback, cable triceps kickback, triceps kickback with resistance bands are exercises that have your arm behind your torso.
