the movement looks awkward, but I tried it, and I can really feel it in my triceps.

anyone else tried this exercise before?

[Majestyc]

That could be a good mass-builder.

it is a good video, because you can see the person's triceps flexing as he is performing the movement.

kickbacks are effective, despite the heat they usually take on here, but they are a very cramping effect type movement which not everyone will feel comfortable with.

I also do these with an underhand grip as well. Works great.

How long do you guys use a new exericse until you deem it effective or ineffective?

I have also been doing these for a while but instead of using a barbell I use dumbells because I think it gives a better stretch.

Looks more effective than the dumbbell version.

Nice variation, have to give it a try. Been trying partner band kickbacks @ the end of tri workouts with 5 sec holds, burns like hell. Like seeing new exercises, keeps muscles guessing. Good find bro.

In my opinion they are much better than the dumbell version.

Kickbacks have always been a good triceps builder. Many people perform them with bad form and too much weight and don't get the most out of the exercise. Then they blame the exercise for not producing results.

I also do these with an underhand grip as well. Works great.

Oddly, with that hand position there is almost an illusion of pulling the weight instead of pushing it. I think this is the hardest variation. It is highly effective at hitting all 3 heads at once.

In my opinion they are much better than the dumbell version.

Because the barbell forces your hands in a pronated position which works all 3 heads at once in a full rom with much greater tris isolation. In the dumbbell version the hand generally is in the "hammer position" which allows the forearm to take much of the weight away from the tris. This is not optimal.

If people mimicked the dumbbells in the same position the barbell is in and stayed strict with it....It would work just as well.

wow cant wait to try it!

That's actually a very old exercise that virtually nobody does anymore. I'm glad to see that some guys are still doing it the old school way. There's another variation as well lying on a flat bench. Position yourself like you would for a lying tricep extension (skull crusher) but then lower the bar so you arms held straight are parallel to the floor. Now do the kickback movement. The combination of these 2 exercises along with dips and close grip bench presses are probably the best freeweight tricep exercises you can do.
