Eric Roberts breaks down bent-over rows: close-hand grip targets the middle back, underhand grip hits the side back. He compares cable kickbacks to overhead extensions for different tricep focus, explains why bent elbows during chest flies reduce bicep strain, and recommends elevated push-ups over tricep dips to avoid wrist and shoulder stress.
When you do bent over rows with your hands close together, you are going to work more of the middle of your back. When you do bent over rows with an underhand grip, you are going to work more of the side of your back. When you do a tricep kickback on the cable machine, you're going to work this part of your tricep right here. When you do an overhead tricep extension on the cable machine, you are going to work this part of your tricep Right here. When you keep your arms straight on the way down of a chest fly, you're gonna put a lot of strain on your bicep. And when you bend your elbows more on the way down of a chest fly, you're gonna put less strain on your bicep and stretch your chest more. And the next time you do tricep dips, fuck those things because they hurt your wrist and your shoulder. So just do an elevated push-up instead because it works the same muscles.
