Before we do an action, the first thing we need to understand is where the exercise can exercise, so as to determine whether we need to perform this action, and then understand where the action can exercise to see if it is suitable for us to complete. So what muscles are exercised by flexing and extending the arms behind the neck?
What muscles are exercised by arm flexion and extension at the back of the neck?
The main exercise part of arm flexion and extension at the back of the neck is our triceps. It is also very effective in exercising our back muscles and neck muscles. Because when we do exercise, our arms need to be stretched behind us, so it can effectively stimulate our triceps brachii and achieve the effect of muscle growth. When we move our arms backward, our back is clamped backward, so it also exercises the back muscles. The neck is also because when the arms are backward, our arms have weight, which will stretch the neck.
How to practice neck and arm flexion and extension?
There is a certain risk in doing arm flexion and extension movements behind the neck, so before we do this movement, we can train with bare hands first, that is, our hands are not loaded with weight. First, we raise our arms until they are above our head. At this time, we bend our arms and extend our arms backwards to our neck. Note that our back is straight at this time. After we are proficient in this movement, the next step is to formally train the neck and back arms.
We need to hold the dumbbells with both hands, sit up straight, lift our chest and abdomen, then lift our arms up and back from behind our neck. We can choose to use one hand at a time to complete it, or we can choose to complete it with both hands at the same time. When our arms stretch back to the limit, we can slowly lift our arms upwards and start the action again. We must choose a good weight before starting this training. Be careful to avoid injury, this action has certain risks.
The above is about the muscle parts that can be exercised by the arm flexion and extension movements at the back of the neck. This movement is not very difficult, but the exercise effect is still relatively powerful, especially suitable for our daily exercises.
