As an FRC/FRA/FR/Kinstretch practitioner I've now lost count of how many local and international people have reached out to start training as a result of this podcast and video. Thank you for bringing awareness to this type of training as it has helped me as an help a lot of other people that didn't know this type of training existed and found me as a direct result of this!

Putting away ego and picking up super light weights at end range has made a huge difference in my movement quality and resilience to injury. Focusing entirely on proper form and performing the reps precisely and regularly is the real magic. Thanks Peter, great content!

These types of exercise is what I feel I need as I age (53). Thanks Dr. Attia !

This is so on point and it’s funny how it correlates to psychology as well!

Sorry to add this correction but I know you are stickler for accuracy. I completely agree with the importance of end range but what you are talking about in regards to tricep kickback is inner range i.e. full contraction of the triceps. The reason you found it so hard is because of the length of the lever arm perpendicular to gravity.
It's a great inner range tricep exercise and counteracts common tightness in overtrained mid range biceps. Great to stretch of the biceps after due to reciprocal inhibition. If you want to do end range triceps particularly the long head you need to do an overhead tricep exercise.

Does the torso need to be bent forward? Or should this be done at standing position?
