James, keep bringing the knowledge. Adding in the origination and insertion points like you have been doing has really gone beyond the typical, played out, "Do this exercise to build this body part" video. Using Bones shows what is going on at the core.
every time I say to myself I've got all the infos I really need for my workout, you drop another video lol. Thanks a lot man I really appreciate what you're doing.
Brilliant idea to use the single arm when not having a spotter with you! I was scratching my head at the beginning on how to do this by yourself! Going to try this every 3 weeks like you suggested! Thanks for your great vids!!!
Thanks for all these videos. You keep me focused and interested. I usually rewatch one of your videos that focuses on whatever I am going to work the next day.
Hi James, started recently checking out your advanced training videos. It's great how you go into the muscle anatomy, it really helps visualize and focus on that target area. You upper chest workout video gave me by far the best targeting in the chest I've ever had. Looking forward to more of your videos!! I hope you're still planning on making the drop set one.
Hey I like that idea with the music when you workout! Pretty catchy tune! I'm enjoying your videos...keep it up! I also bought some of your products...and I do feel and starting to see the results! Thanks James!
Mr. James all the respect for the quality of information from videos , everything so clear, all the details wich are so important , I'm not surprised after 25 years experience all the knowledge achieved , saying that my age are not reaching your experience I'm just 22 years old haha, watching your videos enlightened me about training , i just want to say thank you for all this videos , ohh and that jokes with bones are awesome haha is like helping your mind to be relax and focused in same time watching the videos
Jamesy...Another cracking video and ironic as I was very recently watching Dorian Yates videos emphasizing the same thing. We may be depleted in the positive but the last few negative reps can really provide some extra gains. Preacher curl machine example is a brilliant example. Keep up the good work mate.
I know you're talking about something a little different but T.U.T or focusing more on the negative, especially on the compound lifts has definitely helped me strength wise.
Big fan of your work. I have watched your videos since you were the lab rat under Muscle and Fitness and have used a lot of your technics in my training over the years. I turn 35 today and have two little girls that run my crazy so fitness keeps me sane and able to keep up with them. LOL
Awesome video as always...thank you! I spot and assist myself with dumbbell preachers using my free arm on the concentric. No machines in my home gym :(
As i'm just starting to work out, can barely do 3 push ups (proper ones) in a row, Is it a good idea to use negatives on push ups? What I mean by this is starting the rep at the top and slowly lowering yourself to touch the ground with your chest? Thank you for any feed back.
What if you combine eccentric and concentric? For example concentric movement for 4 seconds, pause for 1 second, eccentric movement for 3 seconds. Thanks.
James, your videos area great! I have a question that I think only a muscle geek will care to know the answer :). You spoke about time under tension (TUT). What do you believe when it comes to TUT and rep count and weight? I mean, if your form is good either way, does it matter how many reps you do if TUT is the same? For example, 20 reps @ 5sec/rep vs. 10 reps @ 10sec/rep. Is there an ideal total TUT for building muscle? Is there such things as too much TUT? (at which point you would increase your weight to reduce your total TUT for that set). Also, is TUT important only for 1 set? Or should I look at total TUT over the course of the workout? Up until now I've been looking at [(total weight) x (number of reps)], but since I started slowing down my reps this number doesn't mean as much as far as measuring progress. Sometimes I catch myself cheating by speeding up my TUT to catch that extra couple reps, but if TUT doesn't change, then those extra reps don't actually count for anything... or do they? I'd love to hear what you think about this topic! Thanks, Matt.

What are your thoughts on doing negatives to complete every set after you have failed on the concentric? Eg, the aim of your set is say 12, you fail on the concentric at 8, so you do 4 more as negatives?
love the channel i learned more today then ever watching your videos, my question i have a gut and I think I got it because I never do core could that be thanks
If you're using a weight that's heavy enough to make your negatives effective, then even with a cheat rep you won't be able to get the concentric. The best option is to do unilateral work and use your free hand to spot yourself (like I did on the machine at the end of the video).
This video was really dark and harder to watch. Need some fill light to separate you from the background. Otherwise dope as always James! Keep killing it
GOD loves you enough to send HIS only SON to save you and if you repent and turn from your sins and be baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT. ((if you haven't )
Hi James, awesome video! Just wondering why you're advising to train eccentrics every three weeks? I've started adding negatives to my biceps workouts for 2 weeks now and I've done them after every biceps session (once per week). Also, I lower my arm until around 110 degrees just in case I tear the muscle, is that range of motion enough or should I aim for 135 degrees extension?
Also is it normal to have some pain proximal to the insertion of biceps after biceps workouts? I've noticed that usually after arm day, the soreness/pain isn't so much on the middle of the muscle belly but mostly just before the insertion of the tendon. It's around 4/10 pain and elbow extension brings it on (I believe soreness of brachioradialis is mostly restricting it). It doesn't hurt with palpation on the tendon or at rest with flexion. I do a set of light dumbbell curls as warm up and I stretch 30s after workouts so I'm just wondering if this should be a concern? e.g. Overuse leading to tendinopathy in the long run?
I've started doing your advanced training techniques and have had some the best workouts of my life...Thanks so much for these James! Can't wait to try this!
Ever since implementing time under tension both just controlling eccentric and concentric , ive seen strength and size gains especially my biceps. And Im not even eating a muscle building diet..I eat whenever and I dont follow a strict sleeping schedule too... I used to workout alot before stopped for a year and Ive seen MASSIVE improvements from when I used to workout to now...And I used to supp alot before ..point is time under tension coupled in with mind connection and youll build muscle fast !! Its not even about hravy weights like that ...
This really helped me ! Thanks man. I've been going to the gym for like 7 months I've only gain little on my arms and legs but my chest a back gain like crazy ! But my arms and legs are hella skinny I weight 50kg

1.) Love the Casey shoutout! 2.) Too much camera movement. Keep it simple, that's what makes your videos so great!!
Hey Travis. Thank you for the feedback my friend.
damn i wish this was longer...great stuff ..i enjoy the way mr james explains in a very simple way...
God!! Pretty intense, so you recomend to add this kind of training every third week, seems too helpful. Thanks James!
James, keep bringing the knowledge. Adding in the origination and insertion points like you have been doing has really gone beyond the typical, played out, "Do this exercise to build this body part" video. Using Bones shows what is going on at the core.
James thanks, brother. This video is why I LOVE this channel. Valuable information, that will help lifters.
Thanks Kevin!
Drop sets? YEEEESSSSS, Can't wait till next week

If you haven't watched James' videos with Whitney go back and watch them. I learned a lot
You can also do that with dumbells, simply lift the single dumbell with the bare second hand
cool, awesome advice. thanks man.
Could you do a series on nutrition.... or continue this series with nutrition?
Awesome video as always...thank you! I spot and assist myself with dumbbell preachers using my free arm on the concentric. No machines in my home gym :(
lo maximo james...gracias. from bogota
Wow nice info .thank you so much
Informative ,Too GuD Man 👍🏼

Good video! I learn a lot, your Hong Kong fans!👍
Damn! Mr. Bones has made all kinds of gainzzz! JK XD
Great content, as always, by the way. Definitely adding this to my training.
LOL
As i'm just starting to work out, can barely do 3 push ups (proper ones) in a row, Is it a good idea to use negatives on push ups? What I mean by this is starting the rep at the top and slowly lowering yourself to touch the ground with your chest?
Thank you for any feed back.
yes
do it as slow as possible
quality over quantity
great info
is there any way you can you do a video on forearms? and thanks for all the advice
Thank's James, this is gold. You got any tips for a tricep exercize where i can be my own spotter? thanks in advance champ
Can u make a video about dumbell pullover..
What if you combine eccentric and concentric?
For example concentric movement for 4 seconds, pause for 1 second, eccentric movement for 3 seconds. Thanks.

1 set, 10 reps, 8 seconds eccentric to failure. 2x a week - Arthur Jones.
or your could just use both arms to get the dumbell up and single arm to lower in, using your other arm to spot yourself
Dorian yates swears by negatives..and we all know how much of a beast he is.
great vid good work !!!
Thanks Bobby!

very helpful
how do you arrange your days in the week as far as what muscle groups you do each day??????
Man! I wish I could work at bpi!
Good Tips
Hey james whats a good alternative to protein supplement
if you can't really afford to keep buying them
love the channel i learned more today then ever watching your videos, my question i have a gut and I think I got it because I never do core could that be thanks
Mr , do you use GH?
where can I buy those bracelets you where?!
But where's the rom??
If you dont have a spotter for the concentric, can't we just do cheat reps?
If you're using a weight that's heavy enough to make your negatives effective, then even with a cheat rep you won't be able to get the concentric. The best option is to do unilateral work and use your free hand to spot yourself (like I did on the machine at the end of the video).
how many reps? minimum?
If only there was a machine that could do eccentric loading automatically for you. Oh wait, there is. #ARXfit
subbed
This video was really dark and harder to watch. Need some fill light to separate you from the background. Otherwise dope as always James! Keep killing it
Hey brother. Agreed. Thank you for the feedback.
Niсcccе
Why do it RARELY?
maybe if i did this with my lat delts they would wake up
could maybe re-make this video topic.
Outdated video
You're like athlean x......except less boring
karma delivery and less random weird movements
karma delivery or simpler for the stupid people

Its not even about hravy weights like that ...
I knew about negatives but not to this extent!..excellent info James!!!
Thanks again for the great info James!
This really helped me ! Thanks man. I've been going to the gym for like 7 months I've only gain little on my arms and legs but my chest a back gain like crazy ! But my arms and legs are hella skinny I weight 50kg
Jayden Smith l got the same problem as you. we are torso dominant, so we literally have to fight to gain an inch on the arms
Same gas’s mass in traps chest back but I’m 6’3 with long ass arms lol. The negatives help
Hey James, I've been doing your leg routine and going for reps. I gained an inch on each leg!!!
That's awesome! 🙌 Congrats!
James Grage - The Muscle Geek Now that my finger is fully healed I can work arms and thanks to you I have the info I need!! Thank you James!
