Nu samengevat in normaal Nederlands:Het bi-articulaire aspect van de lange triceps kop maakt dat deze zonder meer geactiveerd wordt in schouder-extensie vanuit een overhead positie.
"When determining at what arm angle is the long head most activated, studies have shown that the long head experiences great activation levels as the arm moves from overhead (180 degrees shoulder elevation) to pointing straight down (0-degrees shoulder elevation. This makes sense as we learned that the long head is the only part of the triceps involved with shoulder extension (a decrease in shoulder elevation). "
Echter, wat jij hebt gelezen is complementair in de zin dat triceps-kickbacks inderdaad een uitstekende lange triceps-kop oefening zijn, maar om andere biomechanische redenen, namelijk de statische retroversie positie in relatie tot de zwaartekracht!
"The triceps kickback is an awesome exercise to choose for targeting the long head as, your arm is going to be in a retroversion position with the arm pulled back past your back. This motion alone will cause greater activation in the long head AND then you will be throwing on elbow extension on top.
The Bohler study shows this to be the case as kickbacks were actually the second most effective exercise for the long head.
This means dumbbell kickbacks are the best isolation exercise to train the long head!"
Voor de beste ontwikkeling van de lange tricepskop:
1. Doe de Lying (decline) Triceps Extensions Behind The Head. (Met dumbells of EZ bar)
2. Doe Dumbell Triceps Kickbacks
