Cable Kickbacks Produce Most Tricep Growth

[lupitlupitan]

what's the difference between cable kickback and the dumbell ones???

[klarkratu]

I doubt if a cable kickback would produce more growth than close grip bench presses or dips.

@klarkratu i wouldn't...

nice, thx

lovely

nice vid... i hope you write and post a video about a nice execice to back and/or shoulders... tks for video and nice blog.. Mark!!

Excellent, Mark! I'm so happy you uploaded this Cable Kickback clip...I have been doing it for two weeks now to great results. Hopefully with you showing it here, lots of others will perform this exercise. I'm beginning to feel good about myself...thanks to you I feel I am on a right way. Many many thanks for sharing.

My pleasure man. Thanks :)

@ohmascular ypoure not going to get any results in2 weeks no matter what you do.The tricep kickback is 1 of the least effective exercises for the muscle since the weight you can handle is tiny and so is the range of motion.Exercises in which lots of weight can be used and/or which stretch the tricep at both the shoulder and elbow are most bang for buck eg french press,overhead extensions,close grip bench,tricep dip etc.

Thanks for your input billysue2. I have been working out now for over three years, and have developed quite good triceps. What I mean here is the Cable Kickback has worked great (for me) in addition to my regular tricep exercises. Besides, weights needn't be always heavy...neither the range always long. But then what works for me may not necessarily work for you. Nice of you to write anyway.

[WilliamTheSilverBack]

@billysue2 yes the weight you can handle is tiny, because the muscle used is tiny...any one can list heavy on the bench, because youre using shoulder, tricep, lats, and chest, your body doesn't know what's written on the dumbell, i doesn't know if its a 200 lb'er or a 25 lb'er it just reacts to effort produced. and trust me this exercise puts your tricep at a very serious disadvantage and it really has to work hard !

[billysue2]

@WilliamTheSilverBack look,the muscle needs to experience very high levels of tension with adequate volume to grow.To do that ,you need to put the muscle in a slightly lengthened position(french press or overhead tri extension)and also use a fuller ROM.Overall,youd be better off doing narrrow gripbench and dips and then finishing with some overhead tris and french press isolation work,the kickback is way down on anyones list.

[WilliamTheSilverBack]

@billysue2 not mine, i see what you mean by the lengthened tricep but the motion stays the same and the muscle is actualy weaker in the kick back position...i can overhead extend more weight than i can kick back which means my muscle is weaker at that angle and therefore i would think training it at an akward angle would make it stronger than training in a position that it's very comfortable and can already perform well in, just a though.

[billysue2]

@WilliamTheSilverBack muscles should be trained in positions they can produce the most force in,not the least force.The amount of tension in the muscle along with duration of tension is 1 of the signals that makes the muscle grow in response.

[WilliamTheSilverBack]

@billysue2 really ? ok...i'm not sure, i understand your opinion but if you just train compound your muscles will get used to working in a certain way (all together) i do not know if it really is as beneficial as training them individually so that the can all work by themselves at a higher level, again just a though, i know there is research that shows compound will increase strength alot !

[billysue2]

@WilliamTheSilverBack its not an opinion its a fact,ive a masters in biomechanics and a undergrad in exercise physiology.I wasnt necessarily saying to only do compund exercises,

[WilliamTheSilverBack]

@billysue2 alright well, i couldn't bench because my shoulder was fucked, i couldn't overhead tri because i had elbow/forearm pain...cable pulldowns was the only exercise i could do that didn't hurt and i stuck with it...and my triceps are way above average seen for yourself on my channel. so it's defenetly the safest, even if it isn't the most efficient

[billysue2]

@WilliamTheSilverBack you mean its the safest for you,for someone without your injuries it wouldnt be any safer

[WilliamTheSilverBack]

@billysue2 i've never heard of someone injuring himself on tricep pull downs, i know 3 people in my private circle who has injured themselves doing skullcrushers...down to form i guess, but still...
