My current tricep routine is: 1. Chest-supported DB tricep kickbacks 2. Skull crushers with EZ bar 3. Overhead one-arm DB extensions

Thanks

Can we do overhead extension by setting up the cable on the top and pushing it down by leaning down slightly

For the algorithm

But I don’t want my triceps to appear highlighted red like a textbook 😏

But the wrong way makes you lift more weights creating more torque

Interesting, I think military pressing or perhaps a high incline bench allowing scapular movement would also be beneficial for the lower traps.

Yanes? As in Yañes? Or Yañez?

Found you on insta many months ago and followed and saved some of your vids and randomly got yt recommend you to me. You should defo shout your yt channel coz on insta it literally needs to be instant, fast-paced; while on yt your explanations go in depth and are more real. There's science-based gym gurus and then there's you who literally shows the science behind it all!

This makes sense on your whiteboard and all, but i litterally get bigger and better pumps in my triceps when i do this the "wrong way", even if i flex the shoulder joint forward a bit and "think" about splitting the rope or straight bar apart with my hands as i extend at the elbow joint. Be careful when over intellectualizing this stuff and just get big, bro.

Terrible. Just a point of observation. Instead of being an artist and drawing stick figures! Why don't you simply just DO IT. Thank you.

Is it possible that this error in triceps pushdown explains the study saying that this is a worst exercise compared to the overhead extension

Yes, right after training my triceps

I do 7-8 shrugs straight then hinge a bit and get a few more. Then next set I start hinged and straighten 1/2 through set. 10 sets a week. Usually superset with pull-ups to save time cause so much to do on pull day

What about the much maligned Behind The Neck Press?

Training barefoot 💀

Love the first principles approach

This is ignoring a lot of things. Throw the banana away. 1. There's a proxemic muscle growth effect. Even training an arm in isolation has some effect on the other arm. This is a big flaw in studies that are designed to have different arms do different protocols because they are interfering with each other. 2. You can feel both front, side, medial and rear delts working, rear delts may only be Isometric but that's pretty efficient. EMG studies while weak confirm this. 3. Pretty much anyone with big shoulders has done some form of overhead pressing. Overhead press is only not a shoulder exercise if your shoulder is a banana.

Failure is not an option. It is the way.

so much value in this video it should be behind subscription or something

So.... Yes?

My friend you are a complete Twat I don't know how you have gotten into this social media. Overhead press is the king of building shoulders, you Muppet!

Fo you think behind the neck lat pull down work the upperback more? Is it worth the risk? Is is a risk actually

loved that explanation bro <3

The bicep is biarticulate though. stress on the shoulder joint still stretches the bicep.

I am of the opinion that if you want to target the mid traps when you row you need a degree of scapula elevation and protraction the elevation i believe stops the rhomboids from being so dominant. Hence a wide grip elevates the scapula somewhat.

What's your verdict on Doug Brignoles' "Lat Pull-ins"?

Hi! Ahh this video helped alot =) Can you make a video (Or do you allready have a video) on How to recover after straining a muscle.?

Also, the weight with the pulley moves up half as high too

I know that’s how it works but I still don’t really understand how pulleys give you a mechanical advantage

…but, thank god you exist brother.

Poor girl 😂

waw... nice one

Great tips.I have used most of these except maybe exercise order. Interesting approach. Although I would say that the example you used of using a fly before a press seems a bit risky for me. As you're fresher, you will tend to need more weight for that exercise. And since flys really focus on the stretch, it seems more risky. Though if you're smart about it it could work great. If you stay further away from failure and do high reps, it might be great to warm up that area before benching. One thing that has worked a lot for me is changing the rep range. Going from sets of 8-12 to 15-20. Lighter load, higher reps seems to really help to ensure that you still get a great stimulus to the muscle but your joint takes less of a beating.

Incline barbell bench good ❤❤❤❤

im always confused. Are the lats stronger at the stretched position or are they strongest from that position? As in are they stronger from the point of stretch to the ¾ of the concentric and then get weaker subsequently being the weakest at peak contraction?

What a stupid name seriously.

I think a lot of people, especially beginners, confuse their teres for their lats so they think wide grip pulldowns hit their "lats" really good.

Yeah I dont have access to that.

Wide grip provides good stretch on the outer lats and great stress on lat width power. As an experienced surfer/paddler I can say that wide grip was great for enhancing paddling - length of stroke, consistent power, posture of the upper back in general during paddling. Then, switch to some neutral grip closer pull for the body of the lats. So there's no problems with wide grip - just depends on what you want to stress, and of course, variations in grip are generally good.

i have adoubt, the movement should be first shrugging the shoulder blades and then pull downward?

this guys always take surgery insigthsm keep going, also have a chad look, bro

Another thing you could do is just doing the entire set as lengthened-partials. That way you can use extra load in a part of the ROM that is more productive for hypertrophy.

Does force production/leverage/or some other shit i vaguely understand have any role to play here? I remember Paul Carter saying the mid range had more leverage therefore it would recruit more motor units, therefore more growth than just doing shoulder joint movements. (Or something like that) Then again he also said that the chest takes over at the top range of the lat pulldown based on emg data, which makes absolutely no sense to me because, well that is the opposite of how the chest works, to my knowledge. But still, the basic premise of leverage seems like it could be valid on a surface level.

Thank you, Ben! Would love more exercise tutorials on how to target the lat instead of the teres. Been training for years and have massive rhomboids, teres major, teres minor, read delts, etc. but TINY lats and need to make up for it ASAP. Ben Pakulski gives some good lat tips if you search “Ben Pakulski lats” and would love to see you break them down because I don’t really understand how he delivers them. Thank you!!

Ben isn’t shoulder addiction occurring during an overhead press ? That means the side delts are working even if they aren’t the limiting factor .

What grip bar ?

But the lats in the frontlane plane have the best leverage to do shoulder adduction, so you would want to do something where the upperarm is coming into the torso. As for the wide grip, we know that lats have peak torque at around 90* humeral elevation, and we can therefore help the lats achieve this without excessive elbow flexion. With all this being said we know the upperback also has a leverage in the frontal plane and you should therefor be closing of the end range of motion. You can do this with a machine pulldown, or banded pullups. Check out the ackland study if you want to learn more
