  • Best video I've seen on the subject hands down! Thank you!

  • @albertneisser Thank You :)

  • @Katrina0839 No. The triceps would be shortening and legthening, but the shortening would not be due concentric contraction, it would be due to the titin(springs) in muscle that partially prevent muscles from being over extended. Look at the exercise around 3:10, she is using her triceps. The only time her biceps would be concentricly contracting would be if she wanted to bring the weight down with more force than what the force of gravity would generate.

  • Great video! Just wondering if I have this correct: When the biceps is concentrically contracting then wouldn't the triceps be eccentrically contracting at the same time and vise versa?

  • this actually really helped in me study for my phys class... it seems simple enough, but the wording of my prof was confusing. you really clarified it! :)

  • Ohhhh okay now I know. Thanks

  • That WAS a big help. I almost thought you'd put the hand in a different position too, it was good you didn't, cause it was MUCH less confusing. Helped me understand more thoroughly.

  • thanks :)

  • thank you so much.. this is a big help...
