The pure bodybuilding program phase 2 needed this video so much especially for the setting up phase of most arm exercises. They are not so easy to figure out!
@@mlbb2655Not exactly. 2 of the 3 heads have the same function. The other one has an additional function because it crosses another joint. When comparing exercises you're looking at factors like the resistance curve, stability, stretch, range of motion, comfort and the ability to progressively overload.
@@Secretspook32 yeah yeah i know i know but i am hitting push twice a week so day 1 push is chest focused with side delts & 1 tricep exercise push 2 is focused on shoulders and triceps with 1 or upper pecs exercise
Study showed that Preacher Curls are better than Incline curls. Single arm cable curls facing away from the machine are also good as they stretch the long head of the biceps. They are also hardest in the stretched position so they're the best. Watch Milo Wolf's videos. He's an exercise scientist. He has made a series on the best exercises for almost all muscle groups.
Biceps - Dumbbell bicep curls, you dont need anything else Legs - Bulgarian Split Squats, Barbell Squats Shoulders - Standing barbell OHP, Lateral Raises, Face Pulls
This is literally the format of video I’ve been looking for the past 2 years. Simple, concise, to the point, and most importantly, backed by science with explanations. Thank you so much man.
I mean, there aren't many exercises for the calves. You have the standing calf raise, seated calf raise, and some variations like the donkey calf raise. In my personal experience, you have to prioritize the control of the eccentric movements (whether you do it seated or standing), and in the latest sets, trying to push it to failure or as close as possible.
Why the hell would you even isolate calves? Just do compound leg exercises like bulgarian split squats and barbell squats and thats all you need, big calves arent aesthetic so training them with isolation exercises is a huge waste of time
@@revert5651 Big calves are aesthetic, what are you talking about? If you have big quads and hamstrings but small calves it really gives the "chicken leg" look and it's quite ugly.
Amazing content, Jeff! Your scientific approach to ranking triceps exercises is exactly what sets your channel apart. The detailed breakdowns and evidence-based recommendations are incredibly helpful. Thanks for always delivering high-quality, informative videos!
Before finish watching this, after watching the previous ones for other parts, want to say thank you for the effort you put in it, the patient to explain, the demonstrations, everything. Thanks
I'm glad I found your channel. You are chill, experienced, calm, and great to see someone know what they are talking about. Due to some of your videos I replaced a portion of exercises in my workout plan to be more effective.
The 'instability' isn't what causes cable tricep pushdowns to be more difficult. It's the fact that you're applying a force that pulls the ropes to separate, changing the direction of your force output. It means you need to apply anywhere from 15 to 41% more force for a 30-45 degree angle from your triceps at the end range of motion. It's suboptimal because it loads the fully contracted weaker part of the movement the most as the angle increases, rather than matching the natural force output curve of the muscle, or increasing towards the beginning for that stretch mediated hypertrophic response.
@@wincentpukar2726 100% but the 'stability' factor is marginal compared to the increasing the weight by 15-40% on an exercise. even an angle of 20 degrees bumps the exercise weight up by 5%. in his example of the exercise the ropes are at around ~20 degrees throughout the exercise until the end range where it increases drastically. a small bump to the weight is still going to decrease your ability to hit the same number of reps. try it out if you want with a d handle vs a rope on single arm tricep pushdowns if youd like. and unlike a bicep curl where if you have weak wrists that cause wrist extension (putting a ton of stress on your ligaments and muscles), radial deviation from tricep rope pushdowns with a neutral grip are limited by your scaphoid/radius bones being compressed.
these are my thoughts too. As the rope splits apart, the downward component in the applied force drops as part of the force goes into sideways movement.
I wanna say Jeff, I've been subscribed for years and I used to watch your videos all the time when I was training years ago. THE VIDEO EDITING IS AMAZING. This content is so enjoyable to watch, even more so than your older content. I never comment on videos but I was 1 minute into the video and I was blown away.
Just started gym workouts like a month ago and this channel is just amazing. Listening to Jeff is so relaxing and I get to improve what I do overall. Just first class.
I do pushdowns using the V handle. It feels best for me; more staple than the rope, and more comfortable than the bar. Same for overhead extension BTW, and I do them seated
its not the stability, its the fact that you actually have to put significantly more force to pull the ropes apart. it's something like 15-40% more force required when you pull the cables apart by 30 degrees or 45 degrees rather than using a fixed handle.
I like the vbar as well. I switch it up from time to time. However everyone’s different. Although these videos are helpful but in the end do what’s best and garners the most results for you.
hey jeff, after about 15 years (age 35 now) I got into training for some years again. (also a fellow YT creator long time ago) Decided to go more serious for some time now. Your channel already came up recommended a lot and I liked the vids a lot. On top of that, I googled my way into the most recommended YT channels and yours came up very strong, not only through articles on google, but also by fellow youtube colleagues of yours. I've decided to take your channel as the to-go, start point of my knowledge and workouts. So for that, thanks a lot! I'm already enjoying and learning a lot from your videos and it makes me feel good, and have more fun in the gym, knowing the stuff I do is highly recommended by you. So big cheers!

Hi Jeff, hope this message finds you. You might have discomfort because you're (in this video at least) are doing the JM press quite wrong. JM has 2 videos on how to do them properly, one is an old video, one is a relatively new one on EliteFTS channel. You're right it's just a mix between close grip bench & skull crusher (which he himself states it is; they're both excellent for strength but he didn't have the recoverability to do both of them, so he created this hybrid). For the rest; this video was very helpful for ideas in a next program! Thanks!
In Jeff's defense, nobody ever gets the JM Press right. Edit: which is _insanely_ weird, since, just like you mentioned, there are two readily available videos from the man himself teaching you how to do it.
Hey Jeff I use an upsideown shaped V attachment for the push down. Will that change the activation of the heads or is it just as effective as a straight bar attachment? I ask this because I find the shape of the V more comfortable personally… thanks in advance 😁
Jeff I just tried those sideways leaning on the bench at an incline lateral raises where you go in front of your body and behind you body, and I had the best shoulder pump and burn I’ve ever experienced. Thank you for telling us about it ❤
Because of this video I did overhead tricep cable extension for the first time and that is now definitely gonna be a regular exercise for me haha. Keep these coming, they are both entertaining and genuinely useful!
Bro Jeff idc what anyone says about u bro fr u give me hella informative workouts that I try out and some I like some I don't but I love switching it up and your feedback definitely helps bro keep it up
I really benefit from these kind of information, thanks a lot for the comprehensive analysis .really good work and plz keep doing it for all other muscles👌
Love the videos, especially how you have these laid out. " Best and Worst" tier list. Could you please add Bi,Shoulder,Leg videos like these in a tier list? I'm able to put together a collage of pictures in my phone for personal use that best fit the gym I work out at and how to perform them. It helps so much man, thanks for all that you do.
Reverse grip pushdown also completely removes the chest from assisting with pushing. Personally ive made way more gains with reverse grip than overhand grip.
Hey Jeff! Just want to say that I've been LOVING these tier list videos. I think you said dips didn't make your shoulders cranky in the chest video though lol
You can do more with the bar, because the bar is heavier than the rope, so it make the weights a bit lighter. It would take off like 10 pounds of the pressure. The rope weighs less for sure.
The first time I ever incorporated overhead bar extensions, I had a gymbro interrupt me to tell me I should be using the double dong ropes instead. No thanks, bro. I'll just keep doing it wrong.
Thank you so much. I just have dumbbells at home and I've always struggled with overhead tricep extensions. Switching to single arm and seated made a huge difference! I'm much more stable and I can really stretch my triceps!
By the way! This is how you should interpret my tier list:
All exercises are ranked based on muscle building potential.
S tier - My favorite. Do it if you can.
A tier - Strongly recommend.
B tier - I still do these in certain contexts. There may be better options.
C tier - There are better options for most people. Can still have value in some contexts.
D tier - Probably not a great option for most people.
F tier - Generally not recommended.
1st
Best leg exercise 👀
Do a shoulder exercise ranked thing plzzzz
The pure bodybuilding program phase 2 needed this video so much especially for the setting up phase of most arm exercises. They are not so easy to figure out!
Skull crushers must be A tier. The exercise you described as "Skull crushers" are actually "skull overs" which are better for the long head.
Big downside of JM press you didn't mention; There's like a 50% chance someone will come up to you and try to help you fix your 'benchpress form'.

biggest fear while doing them
Honestly I don’t think so if you do it with very good form, I do mine on a smith machine and never get that

I really benefit from these kind of information, thanks a lot for the comprehensive analysis .really good work and plz keep doing it for all other muscles👌
I lost myself during minute 13:30 in the background
Love the videos, especially how you have these laid out. " Best and Worst" tier list. Could you please add Bi,Shoulder,Leg videos like these in a tier list? I'm able to put together a collage of pictures in my phone for personal use that best fit the gym I work out at and how to perform them. It helps so much man, thanks for all that you do.
My boy Nippard hogging the cables by doing dumbbell kickbacks inside the cable area is next level psychotic. I love it.
I really like this format, you explain everything in very clear away and your accent is easy to understand for me that I’m not English my tongue.
I am so grateful for this series. It is everything I've been looking for in GymTube
JEFF MAKE MORE OF THIS SERIES PLEASE‼️💪
I love the ring triceps extension personally, similar kind of movement as the overhead extension, but with bodyweight.
Please make this type of videos for every major muscle and then a combined one at the end, that'll be really helpful, thanks
Finally someone showing the respect dumbbell kickbacks deserves
patiently waiting for leg day tier list xx
Reverse grip pushdown also completely removes the chest from assisting with pushing. Personally ive made way more gains with reverse grip than overhand grip.
Hey Jeff! Just want to say that I've been LOVING these tier list videos.
I think you said dips didn't make your shoulders cranky in the chest video though lol
I just watched that one before this lol. I noticed the same thing.
Bro just litterally confirmed the triceps workout I do. Really appreciate the helpful info
YESSS THANK YPU FOR THIS!!!
You're so hot..
You can do more with the bar, because the bar is heavier than the rope, so it make the weights a bit lighter. It would take off like 10 pounds of the pressure. The rope weighs less for sure.
Absolutely love these videos. So incredibly helpful, and the information is so clearly presented. Thank you!
Tricep pushdown bar 2:09
Dumbbell french press 5:48
Skullcrusher 6:50
Cable tricep kickback 9:05
Close grip bench press
You can progressively overload pushups with weighted vests too
The first time I ever incorporated overhead bar extensions, I had a gymbro interrupt me to tell me I should be using the double dong ropes instead. No thanks, bro. I'll just keep doing it wrong.
Love this F-S tier series, can't wait for the biceps vid to drop! keep up the amazing work, Jeff!
Thank you so much. I just have dumbbells at home and I've always struggled with overhead tricep extensions. Switching to single arm and seated made a huge difference! I'm much more stable and I can really stretch my triceps!
9:43 bro puckered up real hard lmao
Been following your workouts recently and I gotta say I’m loving em. Loving the details which each exercise.
I can explain how much I go to this channel to get counsel for training, Jeff is the best❤
