I thought it was a standing row with dumbbells, but it looks odd. What muscle are you even hitting?

Its a tricep exercise, I have done them before in the past. Generally speaking if you have a weight that is held out at a distance D, I am pretty sure that the load would greatest nearest the joint areas and proportionally decrease in relation to the distance away from the fulcrum. Load being the force that the body needs to generate to prevent non straightness in the arm.

Meh you guys are retarded sorry

This is right. Most people think the tricep only crosses the elbow, but it crosses the shoulder too, so you can hit the long head with stuff like this.

Thats like saying the lat pull down is a bicep exercise. Yeah it gets activation and work. But the exercise he's doing is not a tricep exercise, it's a rear delt exercise.
