  • This is a fun video. Today we are hitting an old school tricep workout. This is the type of triceps workout you would have seen or done back in the 80's. This is how we all did it. Now i did make one modification due to injury prevention but other then that this is as basic is it gets. Give this a try and let me know how sore you got your tricep the next day.

      I used to love the seated tricep dip machines(especially the ones with a fist shaped handle), awesome finisher with a drop sets when your arms were burnt out, though not many gyms seem to have them.

      Not sure if I got it from tricep workouts or preacher curls but I seemed to have developed tennis elbow from working out. Do you have any tips to avoid elbow injuries? Specifically tendinitis.

    Use to do tricep pushdowns in the 90's and finished them off by leaning over the bar like a close grip press, we called it nail punching.

    Interesting that the “old style” tricep pressdown basically was a compound movement. I also really like the combo of skull crushers with close grip press and can say from personal experience that it’s very effective. 💪

    • @lukedocherty2855
      @lukedocherty2855 3 роки тому +4

      I do a similar thing because I would do lay down on the bench and bring it behind the head then do skull crushers then close grip press would definitely recommend it

    • @7676ezra
      @7676ezra 3 роки тому +4

      I do that combo as well with a curl bar but bang out 12-15 reps on that close grip. I do actual cgbp with heavier weight as well though before that and after bench. That's pretty much my whole tri workout since I only have bars, db's and plates. No machines or pulleys.

    1:30 was one of my favorite tri moves, with a narrow V bar, and the cable running right in front of the tip of my nose, full stack + 40kg/88lbs added, 4 sets starting from 20 and going down. Was my finishing exercise for the tri's last year. Good mass builder.
    Thank you Mr. Meadows, wonderfull information, gym-goers have forgetten that. 👍

    My idea of old school is do heavy set bulk and strength exercise and follow up with an exercises movements that
    focuses on each individual head of the tricep/bicep. I been doing decline close grip for bulk...I feel it in my joints at my age. I will try cable press downs at your recommendation...and elbow wraps.
    THANKS.

    John, that pulley press down is just an open chain version of a straight bar dip. I've seen video footage of Larry Scott doing the pulldown and so assume, his coach, Gironda developed that exercise to compensate for the poor relative strength of most lifters, basing it on the calisthenics exercise. Gironda seems to have been inspired a lot by gymnastics.
    Rather than finding ways to increase the load on the stack, you might want to try the body weight version next time, with a narrow grip. Cant see how lack of load would be an issue. And even if it is, a dip belt would be the elegant solution, and cant see anyone nearing matching that stack load with it.

    your workout partner at 4:28 is doing the barbell skull crusher. that angle kills my elbows, i like to do it and bring the bar to my eyes. i feel it loads the lower triceps harder, but doesn't kill my elbows that the old school traditional skull crusher. for the cable pushdowns, i do it the same way you guys do it as it feels better on my elbows. i am happy to know that what i am doing is still something you do so i am on the right path. no dips for me though, busted up a rotator cuff doing that. my shoulders aren't what they used to be.
