Hyperextension and hypertrophy

[Chris]

A idea concerning the struggle with hyperextension has came to my mind, I wonder what do You guys and coach think about it, remember it's just an idea, so here's the deal:

Hyperxtension occurs due to the imbalance between the triceps and biceps, as far as i know, this also determines the angle/range up to which the elbow is hyperextended. The point is that the imbalance is a matter of muscle mass not strenght, and strenght training produces little hypertrophy, or rather produces it very slowly, wouldn't it be better to counter hyperextension by including hypertrophy weight training (e.g.: 12 reps, medium weight) for the triceps alone to the training?

As I see it, it could be added practicly at the end, because You aren't doing neither strenght nor technique so You needn't to be fresh, and it shouldn't put too much stress on the elbow joint.

The idea came to me because I have hyperextened elbows and the right is more hyperextended, furthermore the right tricep is smaller and always was weaker, now since I've been doing various excersizes on the rings, (xtreme ofc :>) dips, muscle ups (was pretty damn proud when I knocked off the first one) the strenght evened out, but the mass and hyperextension didn't change.

In a human body, the triceps are twice the size of the biceps though it doesn't look it. Also some individuals have hyperextension in the joint of the knees as well and these will often end up in a hyperextended knee from a landing in the future if it already hasn't been do so. As well, ligament tears become more prevalent to occur in such individuals.

Simply more bent arm work with a focus of bicep development should help. Chining in undergrip, rope climbs, pushups in undergrip, etc.
