10. Triceps Kick Back Errors Effective range of motion decreased by drop in elbow Triceps Kick Back (correct form) already has half the effective range of motion as other triceps exercises greatest resistance occurs at full extension when weight travels parallel to gravity If elbow is too low very little effective range of motion ◦ exerciser typically tries to compensate and flexes arm against gravity resistance does not travel parallel to gravity at end of motion ◦ less weight is needed possible causes ◦ weight could be too great ◦ exerciser is not bent over enough
