The main difference between pronated and supinated tricep extension exercises is the position of the hand.

This hand position affects the muscles targeted and the range of motion during the exercise.


Why are opposing muscles needed at a joint?

your muscle is only built to move your bone one way. you have two muscles for each action. for example, in order to move your arm, to move it up your bicep will contractand your tricep will not be working, to move it back down your bicep will then relax. in order to move your arm backwards your tricep will contract and your bicep will be relaxed and to return to its original state the tricep will relax. hope this helps.!!
