![In this video, we dive deep into the anatomy and functionality of the triceps brachii, highlighting the role of its three heads—long, lateral, and medial—and how varying forearm positions (supine, mid-prone, and prone) affect muscle activation. We explore the science behind how grip changes, like supinated (palm up), neutral (mid-prone), and pronated (palm down), alter which head of the triceps is emphasized in exercises like tricep pushdowns and presses. By understanding these principles, you can maximize your triceps development and strength gains through smarter exercise selection and grip variation. Cited research from leading studies in strength and conditioning offers evidence-based insights to guide your training.
