Common mistakes in flexing and stretching of the back barbell!

Super barbell arm flexing and stretching is one of the most classic movements in triceps exercises! It helps us shape strong and stylish triceps!

In the gym, you will see many people doing this exercise! But most people will mess up this movement!

Movement analysis:

Super arm flexing and stretching is a single joint movement, mainly because triceps contract and elbows are stretched straight!

But many people have too much shoulder movement in pursuit of heavy weight! Let their big arms float away from the vertical line!

When your barbell drops to close to your forehead, if the upper arm is leaning back, your shoulders will be involved! Your shoulders, latissimus dorsi, and pectoral muscles will share the work of the triceps! For the triceps, this is not A good news!

To give your triceps better, try to reduce the weight! Fix your shoulders!

Correct method!

1. Lying on a flat stool. Hold the barbell narrowly (straight rod, curved rod) As for the top of the head! Like bench press, the center of gravity falls on the shoulder blade!

2. Then flex your elbow and drop the barbell down, keep your shoulder stable, and drop the barbell to your forehead to maintain tension!

3. The triceps contract, stretch your elbow and pull the barbell up, and return to the starting position

Precautions:

1. The movements must be carried out in an orderly and controlled manner. Remember not to use too much weight. The suggestion is 12-15RM

2. Make sure your elbows are facing forward and avoid elbows being pulled out as much as possible
