      Your split is quite push focused, all 3 days have a pushing muscle group. Back's gotta share its day with leg and pushing upper arm, yet chest is pretty free with non major muscle groups.

      @@TTTRainw_Pain So it's an Asynchronous Split, why did you bring up Push Pull Leg saying it can't be divisible by 7? You think you can't do PPL continuously?
      And doing your split continuously without rest in between is even worse. If you don't have the basic knowledge to know you don't put muscle groups that share functions next to each other (Triceps next to Chest next to Shoulder, and Biceps next to Lats, Calves next to Upper Leg) then where's the "feel and logic to enable one optimal volume without compromizing recovery"?
      Did you even watch Jeff's best split video before making this split?
      You talked about "fully recover within less than 48hrs" (lol) yet you made a split like this? You funny bro.

      @@TTTRainw_Pain Core, lower arms, lower legs are used constantly every day. There's no day you don't balance yourself with your core, grabbing things with your grip, single leg calf raise when you walk. They're literally built to be trained every day unlike major muscle groups.
      Note that training them every day is not the ONLY way, you can train 1-7x/week however you want, but by training every day you split the volume up so you don't compromise major muscle groups.
      You think it's good when you pull and your grip gives up before your back? Or your calves give up while you're doing Squat? (Remember Core, lower arms, lower legs are already trained every time you train major muscle groups)

    Hi, thank you for the great ideas and of course this is one of those fine examples.
    It reminded me of back when I did overhead dbell tricep presses. You'd put your hands together, palms facing down and making a triangular shaped opening in the middle of your hands, and that's how you also hold the dbell. It sits with the handle of it in the middle of your hands. Then you'd raise the dbell over head and lockout your elbows and continue to lower it down between your traps and then raise it overhead to lockout position again. Basically a seated dbell version of your exercise here. I'm sure I haven't told you anything new, but I do thank you so much for all of your hard work and time you put into helping people out likee.
    Thank you,
    Erin 😃

    For a volleyball player that triceps exercise shown in the very beginning is very important but one must do it like said in this video, you lower the weights so you can get the elbows up and the movement closer to what spiking the volleyball would be like. Elbows need to point in the front at the end of the movement not to the side and that is not possible with high weights. Also the movement is driven from the laterals at start. Not many gyms have this machine where you can adjust where the cable comes so most people just use the one that has the cable coming from up like in the beginning of this video. Great video.

    I'm following one of Jeremy Ethier's programs and it calls for a very similar movement; it's basically the same movement as Jeff does except you're sitting on a pretty vertical incline bench and have a dumbbell in each hand. But the key is to lock out at the top and really squeeze the triceps, and especially: go all the way down to the bottom to get the stretch, like the dumbbells should be touching your upper back. That exercise is boss, totally kills my triceps where no other (triceps) exercise I do quite does.

    I like his advice, as it’s consistent with my own experiences dating back to the late 1960s. However, that first exercise he’s talking about… If you adjust the height of the pulley and the angle your back is at, that’s easily one of the best long exercises you can do. More comfortable, and as effective as the alternative he’s showing later in the video.

    Any reason to not drop the cable attachment all the way to the floor and pull parallel to your back? doing so directs the tension straight down my spine and allows me to stand flat foot and not have to focus on stability as much.

    • @athleanx
      @athleanx  Рік тому

      Position at the top of the movement, when the triceps are fully contracted, would be subject to much less tension due to the line of resistance (cable) becoming almost completely parallel to the lever arm.

    • @bobnewkirk7003

      @@athleanx makes sense, by stepping away you maintain the ~30 degree angle so you keep tension at the top.
      I guess as a lengthened biased movement I really hadn't considered the contraction end. Thanks for the quick reply.

    I find it really uncomfortable twisting to get in position with the cable at waist height like in the video. I put the cable in high position, but bend more at the waist so my upper body is more parallel with the floor. This seems to give me similar angles as having the cable at waist height.
    I also use a short v-bar instead of ropes to give me a better grip while keeping my hands in the same orientation as grabbing the knobs of the rope.

    Best long head triceps exercise I've ever tried? You might not believe it: heavy as shit Farmer's walks. Makes them so sore the next day. That and kickbacks for the short head cause more soreness and size than anything else I've tried.

    Been doing it this way for years. Always found it to be a perfect tricep exercise. I tend to use it as a finisher to my main tricep session purely because I find it hard to load it heavy, without missing out on the other two heads a bit. I love doing it in a drop set fashion too. 8-15 reps, rest 30 seconds, go again until I can't do 8 strict, drop the weight by 10% and repeat for about 5 sets, absolutely blows your triceps up

      I take advice, and sometimes go with what was said or slightly modify etc. This vid I will incorporate into my work out change it up once in a while. Been doing "finger quote" incorrect way, and get a hell of a burn. I do basic workouts, with okay mid weight for typical gym people, and I got bigger plus more cut than people who were there before. Not huge body wise, but athletic build...no injury at all or constant pain due to injuring something. Just trying to sculpt my body, lifting too heavy how most get injured. Especially people following lifting your max then going light, super easy for beginners to get injured.
