Therefore, it appears that isolation exercises such as bench dips and dumbbell kickbacks display high levels of triceps muscle activity, while it is uncertain how these exercises compare to compound exercises such as the narrow grip bench press.

Therefore, it appears that isolation exercises may display comparable levels of triceps muscle activity while enabling greater exercise volume.

Little data exists on the effect of grip width on triceps muscle activity.

Sandhu et al. (2008) found that the triceps muscle activity was only greater during the eccentric rather than concentric portion of the press up with the hands on a swiss ball compared to on a bench.

However, there appeared to be no difference in the triceps muscle activity during shoulder presses performed with the barbell or dumbbell while in the seated position.

Saeterbakken & Fimland (2013) found that the greatest triceps muscle activity was displayed during the standing barbell shoulder press compared to the standing dumbbell shoulder press, while the seated variations produced similar levels of muscle activity.

In contrast, Kohler et al. (2010) compared the triceps muscle activity during seated barbell and dumbbell shoulder press on a stable bench or swiss ball reporting that the stable bench in both conditions produced superior levels of muscle activity than performing the exercise on a swiss ball.

Saeterbakken et al. (2011) compared triceps muscle activity during barbell, smith machine and dumbbell bench press.

Barnett et al. (1995) compared the triceps muscle activity between barbell bench pressing and shoulder pressing.

When comparing the standing barbell and dumbbell shoulder press, it appears that the barbell version produces significantly greater triceps muscle activity than performing the exercise with dumbbells.

While the bench press produces superior muscle activity compared to the shoulder press despite similar elbow flexion ranges of motion, it appears the load lifted is also greater, thus indicating that greater loads produce superior triceps muscle activity during compound exercises with similar elbow joint range of motion.

In general, it seems that compound exercises that include elbow extension feature as the best exercises for creating overall triceps muscle activity.

While decline and flat bench angles both produced greater triceps muscle activity, the flat (0 degrees) condition displayed non-statistically greater muscle activity than all other conditions.

They reported that each subsequent increase in load produced significantly greater triceps muscle activity even while each involved performing the bench press throw with maximum effort.

Similarly, Lehman et al. (2006) found superior triceps muscle activity during the press up with the hands on a swiss ball compared with on a bench at the same height.

A small number of studies have compared the triceps muscle activity during different pressing exercises.

Therefore, the data indicates that rehabilitation exercises that include shoulder extension appear to produce some triceps muscle activity, most likely involving the long head.

In summary, it appears that the barbell and smith machine variations are superior to dumbbells for producing triceps muscle activity, in addition to greater levels of triceps muscle activity during bench pressing compared with shoulder pressing.

Few studies have compared the triceps muscle activity during push - up with different stability requirements.

Not exact matches

That's the reason why the wide - grip and standard pushups performed with The Perfect Push - Up elicited more muscle activity in the chest, triceps and front shoulders, while the narrow - grip pushups had a lower effect on these muscles.

Comparing different relative loads performed with maximal intended velocity, Newton et al. (1997) found a main effect of load on triceps brachii muscle activity.

It is therefore logical that variations of the bench press that reduce total load (reduced stability or increased pressing angle) appear to reduce triceps brachii muscle activity.

Triceps brachii muscle activity is affected primarily by load, as well as grip width and muscle action.

Little data exists on the effect of stability on the muscle activity of the triceps muscle during resistance training exercises.

They reported that the triceps brachii muscle activity was greater with each subsequent increase in load between 15 % to 100 % of 1RM.

The triceps is highly active in resistance training exercises that involve elbow extension and muscle activity generally increases with increases in load or speed.

The triceps are highly active in resistance training exercises that involve elbow extension and muscle activity generally increases with increasing load or speed.

McCaw et al. (1994) reported similar findings, showing that the smith machine and barbell bench press produce similar levels of muscle activity in the triceps muscle.

Assessing the effect of weight implement used, Saeterbakken et al. (2011) found no difference in triceps brachii muscle activity when performing the free - weight bench press or when performing a smith machine bench press.

In contrast, Marshall & Murphy et al. 2006 found that the triceps displayed superior muscle activity in the bottom position of the press up when performed on a swiss ball compared with the hands placed on a bench at an equivalent height.

Cogley et al. (2005) investigated the effect of changing the distance between the hands during the push up on muscle activity in the triceps.

Boehler (2011) compared a number of triceps exercises to investigate the muscle activity of the long and lateral heads.

They report the long head of the triceps displayed lower muscle activity in the wide grip pull - down to the back of the neck, while variations such as the close - grip and supinated grip (where the humerus produced shoulder extension) displayed greater muscle activity in the long head of the triceps.

The data therefore suggest that triceps brachii muscle activity is superior with greater relative loads regardless of whether maximal intended velocity is used during each repetition.

While the close grip bench press appears to maximize muscle activity, isolation exercises may be used to increase training volume when triceps hypertrophy is a priority.

They reported that the triceps brachii medial head displays significantly different muscle activity during all regions, insofar as during each region muscle activity is greater during the counter-movement condition compared with the concentric - only condition, and the greatest difference is during the sticking region.
