Have you tried the reverse grip tricep kickback yet? If not, you're missing out on a fantastic way to target those triceps in a new way! 🏋️♀️✨
🔄 **Why Reverse Grip?**
The reverse grip tricep kickback targets the triceps differently primarily due to the position of the wrist and angle of the arm. In a standard tricep kickback, the palm faces inward or backward, which emphasizes the lateral head of the triceps. However, when performing the reverse grip variation, the palm faces upward in a supine position, which shifts the focus to the medial and long head of the triceps.
This change in grip alters the muscle activation patterns, allowing for more comprehensive training of the triceps.
🔥 **Benefits:**
- Strengthens all three heads of the triceps but focuses on medial and long head.
- Improves arm definition.
- Enhances grip strength, muscle coordination and stability
- Reduces strain on elbow
👊 **How to Do It:**
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Bend slightly at the waist and keep your elbows close to your body.
3. Rotate your wrists so your palms face up.
4. Extend your arms back, squeezing your triceps at the top.
5. Lower back to the starting position and repeat!
