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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

These videos are so fucking helpful, especially for a newer lifer like me. Not only because it's a great catalogue of exercises to prioritize (or not prioritize), but because you get very honest about how you personally find doing each exercise in practice. And although everyone's different, it's really validating to hear observations I find in my own lifting (comfort/intuitiveness) echoed by someone so experienced and knowledgable. Thanks so much.

very nice layout of information :) thank you Jeff! Keep it going

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!
