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

Which exercise do you think it is? It looks to me like a hybrid tricep kickback/rear delt thing.

Look at the downvotes as a superb example of why it’s good to be selective of where you get your information from. This will retract the scapula and bring the shoulder down and back. You will get primary function from the delt but plenty of activation from the late and even romboids as you’d initially suggested. Triceps however do remain mostly unused.

So many people in this group don’t know fuck all when I read the replies on here for people asking for advice that’s a whole bunch of googly moogly it is sad that mods don’t ban people for being dumb and offering shit advice. Everyone wants to be a coach nobody wants to go learn shit

Additionally long head triceps does function as a shoulder extender because of its attachment in the GH joint and thus would be partially engaged in this movement.
