Performing triceps exercises in a flexed humerus (overhead) position is more effective for stretching the triceps than performing them with the arm extended downwards.

“I think the the literature actually suggests that you you want to be in a an extended position of the humerus okay it reflects positions right you want a humeral flexed so that to stretch the stretches the tricep to be under a stretch so it's better than doing them down here correct”

“so recently saw a study that looked at tricep extension in uh a flexed versus extended humoral position and the difference in muscle mass was significant when the arm was up when the humoris was flexed”

“the same thing with like a tricep push down versus an overhead tricep extension behind neck right now you're talking the triceps muscles across the shoulder joint are now going to be put on stretch when you go behind the neck”
