Blogging About The Truth To Gain Weight & Build Muscle Mass!

Flex magazine has given a very good explanation as to the difference between these two muscle building exercises. Basically, the overhand grip will allow you to use more weight and targets the outer head of the triceps muscle. The underhand grip forces you to use less weight, but better isolates the triceps because it takes the shoulders out of the equation. In addition, it targets slightly more the inner head of the triceps.

Now, my personal take is that neither is better or worse than the other. In my opinion, being that you need to train both the inner and outer head of the muscle, you should somehow incorporate both exercises in your muscle building workout routine.
