that's what cloud9 was saying.
imagine you are holding a very very heavy db in your hand in the thumbs up position.
The weight is pulling your wrist down, towards your pinky (adduction). to keep your hand in thumbs up and the db upright you do abduction against the weight just to hold the place.

now bend forward and do a triceps kickback. because this is a thumbs down movement, gravity is pulling your hand away from neutral towads your thumbside (abduction) and you are resisting it by adducting to neutral.
