Ignoring the long head's role in shoulder extension and focusing on the main elbow extension role we associate with triceps, it depends on the form. If you look at this illustration, the guy has his...

Wouldn't 13 sets of 2 reps get you even more total reps then? I thought more consecutive reps was harder.

Rather than width, wouldn't 'height' be a better term for how much it covers?

It is a good point that a higher belt is probably more protective.

Though there have to be limits, otherwise you'd...

I didn't say it was, that was Chamaco.

However, I prefer cable because you can do it standing up. For guys with shoulder pains on both sides, lying on your side on a bench to do this isn't always...

Both moves work abs and hip flexors. If you do it with locked knees, you have to fight your hip flexor's lack of flexibility, and the rectus femoris gets too shortened to do much at the top, putting...

Build your chest and back?

Also begin calling it an 'X-shape' and it will feel more masculine.

Ropes are nice because of the hammer grip and being able to move them around. Whenever I use a bar it feels bad on the grip and wrists.

Which of these 2 is most similar to what you describe?

Does that mean if we want to build more triceps and less chest, partials are more ideal?

If your form is otherwise correct, then yeah, you're just doing what some might call a partial rep for lack of RoM. Same as how people can bench without touching the bar to their chest (board...

Am thinking this, but moreso squats than deads since you get more hip flexion out of it.

Since nobody's posted it:

I thought that sliding the bar along the thighs generally allowed people to lift the heaviest weights though.

Latless bicep freaks excepted.


Sounds right. Elbows out = more rear delts/traps...

In the first picture it sorta looks like the guy's knees are caving inward though. Though I can't tell too well since it's a side shot.

I thought the long-term goal in 3rdworld was not to use heel...

The lats pull the arms to the sides. That direction happens to be down when you are upright. When you're bent over, the direction happens to be up.

Protraction is moving the scapulae forward. I...

Going to paraphrase the distinct points here.
I don't think it's ideal to cheat for the entire set. That would only make sense if someone was doing some kinda eccentric-focused training with slow...

You could try 8-15. It's an isolation move, the narrower rep ranges are usually more common with big strong compounds.

My crotch, ankles and knees would probably prefer the rowing. Possibly even lower back, not sure.

I like the idea of getting a pump in the upper back from rowing since you never get that in...

To do this do we pretty much have to arch our back dramatically?

That or I just lack the ab strength to keep that from happening when the upper torso leans back.

I guess maybe the body archs to...

Probably, but it will still hit them. Even the lat pulldown will work the rear delts, the upward angle of the face pull is mostly to take the lats out I figure.

Keep in mind that with high cables,...
