Wrong vs Correct Way of Doing Reverse Grip Triceps Pulldown

I stumbled upon a website illustrating how to do the reverse grip triceps pulldown on the cable pulley machine using a t-bar. The first thing that I noticed is how completely wrong the video demonstration of this exercise is! Also the text description is very limited. And the irony of this is that this incorrect information is ranked on the first page of Google Search. Just goes to show you that you have to be careful, that not all information that Google brings up on its first search page is accurate and good. This example proves that Google algorithms are not able to distinguish if content is accurate or determine the accuracy of content from various web sources. Just be careful what information you actually read and use on the web. My advice, stick to websites that focus on the exercise and fitness field vs generic all-encompassing websites.

Now getting back to the focus of this blog post… The wrong and incorrect way of doing this exercise you can view here. The correct and accurate way of doing this exercise you can view on this YouTube video. Can you see the difference? There is a big difference in the form and technique. And the sad part is that Google Search does not even show this accurate YouTube video on the first page of their search page or video search pages.

Just something I came across by chance and that I wanted to share.
