Rip is a legend. I've never heard anyone simplify strength training like this guy. HUGE respect

Notes for the video : 1. Triceps have two functions - elbow extension and shoulder extension (the latter one because triceps connect to the scapula). Therefore, an effective exercise for this should incorporate both aspects of this movement 2. EZ bars are used in this exercise because they allow comfortable gripping without taking away from optimal training of triceps 3. Typical skullcrusher technique uses only elbow extension, bringing down the barbell toward the forehead 4. Instead, after unlocking your elbow at the top, flex your elbows WHILE ALSO flexing your shoulders so that you both access the increased ROM and miss your forehead

I think you will find everyone's response to stress/stimulus is different. When I do 5s of this exercise I still get sore the next couple of days, but don't get the same with the other main lifts. Soreness is not an indication one way or the other of whether you are strength training correctly. Only your increased ability to handle greater weights is.

This exercise really helped my strength in the press and bench, and it put a lot of mass on my arms as well, great video, very informational!

Mike Mentzer also said that an ez curl bar doesn't work the bicep, but that it works the brachialis.

Not sure the EZ-curl bar is 'utterly useless' for bi training but I get the point. I had some biceps distal tendon inflammation for a while and fully-supinating to do anything was very uncomfortable and didn't help matters. The EZ-curl bar was very helpful for rehab.

Funny thing is I just started doing them this coz it felt right, now I got confirmation

I respect the guy , very intelligent , fell totally lost when he goes technical.

I've been doing this with my upper arm straight up in the air and lowering to just above eye level. Once I got passed sore elbows for a few weeks I started loading some working weight and it was "ok". I tried this for the 1st time the other day, and my triceps, I mean ALL of my triceps from my elbow to my shoulder are sore AF still! And this is the only video I've found with it demonstrated like this.

I have used this off and on for a year and think it is a good tricep exercise. I find it a bit hard on the elbows with a good weight on the bar, but never helped my bench press.

Awesome!!!

Looks like a free weight version of the old Nautilus pullover machine which unfortunately, is hard to find these days. I have an Anytime Fitness membership. The one closest to my house doesn’t have it. Fortunately the next gym over has a version of the pullover. It’s made by Life Fitness I think?

Works more muscles and makes you stay tight which helped my technique on the bench. Plus OHPs are one of if not the best supplementary exercises for the bench.

Great video. Thank you

What is the best way to put the barbell curl and the lying triceps press into the my workout thank you

It would be interesting to know just how much the triceps long head contributes to the shoulder extension phase of this movement compared to the much stronger extensor - the lats.

@elizabethfigueroa2364

Жыл бұрын

As long as the elbow joint is extending simutaniously with the rotator, the weight is shifted off the lats and onto the triceps, at first glance you would think the lats would be working as in a pullover, if youve ever done a barbell curl youll notice the front delts seems almost fully untactive in the movement until you reach failure and begin doing partials, thats because the elbow joint stops hinging, and so all the weight gets transfered onto the front delt, as long as both hinges(rotator and elbow joint) hinge simutaniously the force of the weight loads on whats inbetween.

supesonic expression! Thanks RIP :)

as educational as always....

Hard to find but a rack sized curl bar (Rogue) is great for doing these heavy.

Is it possible to do this exercise using heavy dumbbells or is hand placement compromising the lift?

Triceps also work on a pull over machine , or in pull overs in general

Man there are no numbers or recommendations on where to put these invaluable exercises. I know for a fact Chin ups get put into the program, and we are told to do them as heavy as possible. But where and how many sets / rep do LTEs and dips go?

A question: Is it better to lock out with arms perpendicular to the ground, or at an angle (having the weight above your chin)? I ask this because other channels like athlean X recommend that to keep the triceps involved.

@InSanctaSanctorum

7 жыл бұрын

The bodybuilding way prescribes to never unload the muscle (never lock out) so that you don't give your triceps a rest, and that's fine when you are using the tipical low weight/high reps bodybuilding approach. But when you are training for strenght (as opposite to training for size) the point is to move a really heavy load in the full range of motion for low reps, and to never miss a rep (you never work muscles to failure, ever), so in this case lock out is not only perfectly fine but necessary too, both for better strenght benefit in the full ROM and for your own safety (you don't want to risk triceps fatigue with a heavy load over your face).

@Fortress333

If you haven't noticed already, Athlean never shows any impressive strength feat. He says he can't squat because of bad knees, he can't bench because of bad shoulders, and he can't deadlift your grandma because of all the hernias he's had. If you listen to a guy who basically sells his pump programs for noobs in a state of being half naked most of the time and looking emaciated, you're not getting anywhere. He said he got a hernia doing dumbbell row on a bench. It probably was 20 lbs too. I mean, he's already grimacing like he's lifting 600+ lbs even if it's a puny weight. Without being silly, don't listen to someone who can't even get basic movements like squats right. He's just doing fancy workouts on video to look smart and lure in the endless parade of noobs that flood the market each year. He's, however, a lot better than the standard trainers. You should avoid those at all costs. The lying triceps extension as shown by Rippetoe here is a great exercise. I practically never see anyone do it, so it's got to be a great exercise. Almost no one squats too with any good form, so that's another great.

@@InSanctaSanctorum Good points. I used to train with the great Chuck Sipes, Mr. Universe. He was very positive that BB movements and weights were never max weights and form was all important and you should never lockout because it took the load off of the muscle being worked. But... when he did use max weights, and he was as strong as an Ox, he always always locked the weights out on each movement especially if it was over head or over head chest or face, ex: max weight bench presses were always locked out and he had a monster bench for the time, he would weigh about 230 and bench right at 600 in good form for a few reps. I was and still am impressed. .

This exercise can also be performed well with a dumbbell.

It's the best exercise there is for the triceps. Not only does the shoulder flexion take the long head through a greater range of motion, it's also very easy on the elbows, wich can't be said for the shitty exercise skull crushers.

Interesting Information! But I don’t understand why he is grabbing the bar Like this in the excercise. He said in maximum pronation and supination there is Stress on the elbow. In the position where he grab the bar he has more pronation (similar like to an normal barbell). I would grab where the bar is slanted. A little bit more outside. So it would not be the maximum pronation and also not the maximum supination. After his explanation he should also do it, so maybe somebody can explain if I got something wrong?

Is that an impression because of the video or are his radius and ulna curved???

It is better for keeping your back in a supported position by lying down on a bench, instead of standing. If you want to stand up or by vertical, doing weighted dips would be another great strength exercise for the triceps. It can be hard on your neck and shoulders to press behind the neck if you don't normally work on shoulder mobility of flexibility.

Meds the purpose of DL is to perform it from a dead stop. It requires lots of back strength to keep the back in* lordosis from the bottom. Bouncing the DL means you don't need that back strength and thus you don't get strong. If you want to use SSC on a deadlift, do RDLs

@sleepingtube

6 жыл бұрын

If you want to incorporate the stretch reflex that deadlift, you basically be doing a Romanian deadlift. It's a slightly different exercise. The RDL starts at the top, then you lower the bar until it bleeds we really tap the ground and then you pull it back up. If you are doing a standard deadlift and attempt to bounce the barbell off the floor, it's very likely that you will lose some tightness when the bar bounces. If you lose that tightness in your back, you very well might injure yourself.

Well, standard barbell curls hurt some people in their wrists, and also you could forcefully supinate and get a great contraction too. But I understand the point, so whatever.
