Sigh, I guess this thread failed miserably. Not a single person was able to answer what I thought was a simple direct question with a direct answer. When I look around on the gym floor and see all these people doing all these different movements I often wonder if any of them have given even a moment of thought to what they are doing and does it make sense. That's why you see people doing side bends while holding a weight in each hand or doing tricep kickbacks.
So now tricep kickbacks don't work??
Compared to what? Doing nothing? Cable pushdowns? Instead of staring in the mirror blowing kisses at yourself: you self-indulgent, spoiled narcissist try to think a little. Just a little. Examine the strength and resistance curve of both movements if you even have the capacity to do so. Then come back and make your case.
Tricep kickbacks have a different feel than pushdowns you don't need to be a physicist to feel the difference
One of the advantages of being ignorant is that you don't know you are ignorant and make ignorant comments like this that have absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter. You jacking off your boyfriend's cock has a different feel than you jacking off your own cock. No one is talking feelings. I swear, if you weren't living in your mom's house getting your fat allowance just so you can stuff your face with food and take pictures of yourself you'd be homeless offering blow jobs for 10 bucks.
Only jackasses follow a program designed by bookworms with calculators. Instinctive training listening to your body and how an exercise makes it feel is the proper way.
I wasn't going to watch the entire twenty minutes but fortunately scrolling through I stumbled upon the topic at hand and Brignole is spot on. But again, living in an imperfect world given the two alternatives which is better? Leaning left or leaning right when training the right deltoid.
This^ I don't do lateral raises.

And your choice would be?

What do you think is superior assuming that you believe it matters? Lean to the left or lean to the right when doing single laterals with your right hand?
If the dumbbell is in the right hand, I consider leaning to the left better because there is less resistance at the top of the movement where the muscle is weakest position-wise, allowing for better form. There's also more tension at the bottom of the movement.
Tricep kickbacks are effective.Are they as effective as some other exercises? No.If you have minimal equipment (barbells and dumbbells only) then you have more limited exercise choice.Compare tricep kickback to seated one arm dumbbell tricep extension or one arm lying dumbbell tricep extension. Pretty similar.
You can make a case that exercises like lateral raises that deliberately put you in a position of bad leverage are a bad idea as you put an unusual amount stress on a single joint and the musculature in that area. For example, lifters do wide grip benches to hit the outer part of the pec and that’s also where most pec tears occur.
I find these brutal on the elbows, same with the barbell version. These days rope push downs are my best option.
what? lifters lift with a wider grip because it shortens the rom and that allows them to lift more weight
