The resistance needs to oppose gravity. This isotonic exercise requires the client to flex forward at the hips maintaining neutral spine in order to achieve maximal tension and resistance through elbow extension. He can use a bench as well if he needs help stabilizing his trunk in order to prevent further compensations. He feels stretch in his anterior delts here because his shoulders are extended. This compensation can be avoided by flexing through the hips as described above and maintaining a more stabilized neutral shoulder position where his upper arms are parallel to his torso.

The client needs to bend over more and elevate the elbow so that as he extends the forearm the dumbbell will get perpendicular to the ground. He is possibly weak in the upper back and his retractors are not staberlizing the scapular and that is why he will be feeling it in the anterior deltoid. His core is also weak and that is why he is unable to bend over and get the correct body position to execute the movement. For this type of client I would go to more functional movement to activate the triceps like a elbow to hands starting him by being on his knees and then onto his toes. This will also work his protractors and retractors and his core and getting the whole body to work together. Please let me know if I'm close Regards Jason The guys body position is to upright.

We first must look at the position the upper torso is in. When working with free weights the utilization of gravity is key. The man in the video clip is angled forward at such a mild degree that resistance of the dumbbells are placing greater stress on the bicep, brachialis, and anterior deltoids. By putting the client in the proper angle before executing exercise, issues with the scapula retraction would be more obvious. The use of bands for someone with week external rotators, placing clients spine along the outside edge of a wall or foam roller while trying to pinch scapula together in upright position, bands Angkor in front of a client at level between knee and hip, using elbow extension would be more effective version of a kickback. my first choice if the issue is week scapula retraction, would be to pick a different exercise. Dumbbell kickback done correctly. 1. dumbbells in hand, hing at hips into forward flex ion, bending knees slightly to achieve a 90 degree angle with a neutral spine. 2.arms hanging down, draw scapula together into retraction, and depression. 3. pull elbows into rip cage keeping upper arm parallel with torso or slightly higher wile keeping external rotation of shoulder girdle. 4.hold this position isometrically through out movement. 5.hing at elbow drawing dumbbells up into extension, palms facing sides or up can create different contractions in triceps, however, if wrist is causing a forearm flex ion and elbow can't get to full extension, try facing palms down as too engage the forearm extensors on concentric faze. This is not my first choice for a good triceps exercise, however a great movement for peek contraction in triceps as long as muscles, teres minor and major, posterior delts, lats mid traps , and rhomboids are all contracted wile utilizing gravity to fullest advantage. You should definitely feel the triceps BURN!!!

He probably feels more in the anterior shoulder because his elbows are higher than his shoulders in back and because of his nearly upright position. Also, the position of his hand should be rotated so that his palm faces up in the kick back position. I am guessing he may feel more biceps as well. I would probably start by asking this (apparently healthy) client to use a bench for one arm kick backs. Place one knee on a bench and his hand directly below his shoulder. I would instruct him to keep his spine (no sway back or rounding up) and head in a neutral position. His back should be well supported in this position and his hips should remain square with the floor. He should be looking at the floor. Keeping his elbow next to his rib cage and in alignment with his shoulder he can begin the kick back movement, palm facing up. I hope I am close!

In order to activate the triceps we must correctly reposition the load posterior of the arm. I'm looking for a strong flat back position, elbows elevated horizontal and tucked into the side. A simple controlled movement originating at 90 degree arm flexion, ending with an eccentric contracton of the tricep for the desired full elbow extension. An outward turn of the wrist for full range of motion and a brief pause at the top of the movement is beneficial to insure proper weight selection and maximize muscle fiber recruitment. Be sure to monitor unwanted angular momentum caused by shoulder involvement. Great movement when performed correctly. Be Well!

Both feet shoulder width kness bent softly ,bend forward at the waist keeping the elbows elevated high , shoulder blades together hinging at the elbow only, squeeze the triceps on the extension.
