Jeet Sir, which are the 3-4 exercises for lateral head of triceps? And how we can give variations to these exercises? Please make a video for this…I follow your each & every tip & it gives amazing strech & contraction…You are one in all✌️
In this video dated year ago you said keep the arms OUT from the body? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REWv05om0ho
Some how I ended up doin the jackhammer pulldown today now my right shoulder hurt like if I have a hot poker digging into my shoulder joint now im in so much pain i dont feel like goin to the gym tomorrow to keep doin my strong 5×5.
I choke up on the rope when I do this exercise, so rather than my hands being at the end of the rope it’s closer to the top. My hands are still spreading when the weight is brought down. Any suggestions on whether this is a good or bad thing?
Jeff can even give anatomy lessons to God on how to create a better human body
So wait doing them both isn’t typically doing anything more beneficial than just doing one of them?
great tips! These are the nuances of weight lifting I really appreciate.
Lifting slow with perfect form never got anyone big. Lift some heavy weight and snap it up
I was doing push downs earlier and got sick pump in my chest and was like something isnt right. Thanks for the clarification here Jeff.
That long rope idea is brilliant! Basically a push down going into a standing kickback all in one. I can’t wait to try this tomorrow!
Heres a trick to eating less. Get a sheet of paper, put into between your lips, the 10 times move it back and forward. I put my hand on the bible when I say you will eat less, because for that cut on the lip edges to heal that mouth needs to stay closed. You’ll end up eating half the food on your plate.
See your arms are still perpendicular to the ground at the end. I thought you need to stretch them out forward more.
I really enjoy your videos. I love that you show me what NOT to do. Thanks!
I like how he doesn’t give a single F about his accent, he just lets it rip haha
just found the channel and its great but i was wondering ijust started useing a close grip attachment and i feel it all the way threw my triceps i dont push my elbows out just my grip is different is this way good or am i doing it wrong thank you in advance
I don’t understand anything you say you should make videos talking English
It’s funny. I had this old guy from my gym trying to tell me that the right way is the wrong way.
Nice to see you guys back,you should do a video on dips for lower chest.
You should mention before starting that you’re a BSN athlete! It will sound so cool man!
I must be doing them wrong too because I feel like my upper back shoulders are getting a lot of the work out when I do push Downs
Traduce al castellano,el doblador hace un trabajo fantástico.Gracias
Hiting all these details is what gets some guys 20 inch arms.
Thank you very much for the information that you share Jeff..they are all very helpful. I wasted I think more than 10yrs of my life working out with minimal gains because mainly, I was so mis informed and also lack the proper knowledge. and a little because I didn’t have access on the right tools and machines. but now, learning your principles, I think I have more improvement in a couple of months than I did for how many years..
Keep your elbows in..do not lean in keep strict same tempo pushing down as coming up… feel the burn…
Great video with great info as always Jim. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
So, rocking pushdown with longer cable seems like the best variation?
I know an asshole in my gym doing that dip and does ego lifting.
I swear nobody knows how to do these correctly lol. thanks guys!
When doing the overhead extention My elbow start to hurt. How do I fix my form so they won’t be any bother
Can you hit the long head of your tri’s well with skull crushers? If so, what’s the best way to do them? Straight above your head or slightly angled behind you?
Sir meta name mohd javed qureshi h or mera no waseb no h 9953945833 sir Nene aap ko fholo kar rakha h or sir aap mujhe batao ki Monday s 6 din ki x sa said batao

it’s so so so fucking helpful you are the man i beliving that
That sayjin armour doesn’t translate well into the 3rd dimension
Great video. Thanks for posting it I’ll definitely be including this proper workout into my routine!
hey my weight is 52 and I’m 18 years from India so I wanna know that which is to good supplement for me to increase my weight and mussel.I do around 1 hour 30 min work out in gym. please help me out thank you
Thank you very much very very informative Jeet bhai keep it up
Nice video! I haven’t seen a video of you guys in a few months and Kyle definitely got a lot bigger!
My favorite variation atm is the meadows version with two handles pushing straight down
Sometimes i get a pain in my right shoulder when i do tri pull downs, my form is good but i still get the pain, any help?
“You can alter your grip to place more focus on one of those three heads”
Are you sure about that? I’ve read several articles saying that wrist position has no effect on triceps activation. It has an effect on biceps activation but not triceps
http://baye.com/effect-of-hand-position-on-tricep-involvement-during-extension-and-pressing-exercises/
“You can’t isolate or emphasize the medial, lateral or long heads of your triceps by varying hand position.
What hand position does affect is the strength of the grip, and as a result the safety of the exercise when performed with a relatively heavy weight”
I do this exercise on my knees so you don’t get any momentum through the legs. That was coming from a strength coach.
I understand the benefit of stepping in at the end for the cheat reps, but be aware that in that position if the cable snaps the bar will hit you right underneath your jaw.
All pro bodybuilders do the method with elbows flared pretty sure they know what they’re doing as opposed to this guy with arms the size of my girlfriends
Great video, short but packed with good info! Off topic BUT where did you buy those DBZ tanks Scott?
I have a question who dose my elbows hurt after doing this workout and it only my right elbow
Look to evan centopani tricep video. Doing the things that you are not suggesting. But his triceps have insane amount of pure straitions. What about that?
is there any sense in flaring the rope outwards at the end of each set? I was taught to do this but it feels like it hits the bicep more than anything…
Always have trouble with triceps when trying pull downs, I by accidentally activate my shoulders. Any help?
seach up todd and kashif to subscribe to true americans: kids talk about politics
It’s honestly sad he has to make this fucking video, like how dumb do you gotta be to do tricep work like this ��
So my question do we know why the shoulder externally rotates when in supination
you probably won’t see this but ill try anyway. Why does my wrist hurt when I do this with the rope. it hurts near the bottom motion. Could someone explain what I’m doing wrong I don’t use heavy weight btw.
I watch your videos and you talk about proper form and keep everything else still to isolate the muscle but the guy on the 4 week bicep growth workout on the website seems to be throwing his back into his bicep workouts and not really controlling the downward weight.
Really messed up my palms doing a version of this gripping both ropes with one hand and extending down to work triceps and grip strength. Mid-rope w/o hands resting on stoppers. Hurt my inner palms. Red patches that have been itching like CRAZY for two days. Won’t do that again.
Clear, and to the point! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Dr.!!
Anyone plz tell me when do u reach beginner to intermediate and then to advance
thank you, it is working a lot to me, getting a better result
5 minutes for something that should have taken about 30 seconds jesus christ does this guy ever STFU
Thank you so much <3!!!I built my own pulley system ia gonna try it today the right way:D
I dont know what I would do without this channel. I would literally be doing almost every exercise wrong, I’ve learned so much watching your videos and I am going to sign up for one of your plans within a few weeks. Thank you so much, your helping me change my life.
I like suicide grip on the flat bar in lieu of an angled bar to keep form proper, it seems to feel more like actually pushing down versus thumb on bottom.
Jeet bhai.
Qasam sa yr kitna zbr 10 treqa sa smjata hon ap yr bhai.
Boht dil kosh hota hai apki video sa knowledge laker love ♥️ from Pakistan��������
Got so much n nice information n cleared so many doubts Sir, thanx alot.
Really glad to have heard the advice about the locking of the elbows. I’m only a little over a year into my lifting career, and will remember this for all the gains to come!
Hi jeet please post a video for after workout stretchs for all body parts it would be very helpfull
I prefer using the ropes for triceps, give that flick out at extension.
You’re just out here stealing video ideas without adding something new in to it yourself.
Who are the 600+ idiots that didn’t like the video? Why…?
Knuckleheads…
Hey Scott, note that some of your information regarding the triceps’ heads and arm positions is inaccurate when compared to one of Jeremy Ethier’s triceps’ video (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmgfpdpQ5sk&t=132s). I hope that you explain and provide clarification regarding muscle heads or sections and their limb positions to avoid further confusion and lack of credibility throughout the fitness population, thanks!
Bhai mene two month phele exrsice suru kiya ha
Pr mere size nhi bd rha kiya krna chiye
I normally flip around to reverse grip once I have fatigued the triceps 1st..like you said you can’t do as heavy a weight but it always seems to get them sore…so they gotta keep growing..keep pushing the kicka** videos Scott Herman..,����
Thanks To Good Information & Plz sir reply me Muze bulk gain karna he to kuch tips plz…….
can u talk more about that machine, im in a wheelchair will it benefit me?
Thanks I’m following your full body work and would like to say thank you!
I just started ax1 swapped tricep push downs with skullcrushers. Is that a proper swap or should I have swapped with a different exercise?
I shared a link below in my last comment. You can check the link. The underhand/overhand grip of triceps push down is not about a change in the grip: it is not about supination and pronation of the forearm muscle. It is about the internal and external rotation of the shoulder. And thus, it does have an effect on your triceps.
Bro back in the days i used to watch your video’s… Back than you looked huge af. Not to get cocky but u out of the game?
bhai aise variation aajtk kisi ne btai sab paise bnane k liye bethe hein indian gym m bss
I try to keep my elbows tucked in and my shoulders down and back, but at the end of the set I feel a lot of stress on my shoulders. What could I be doing wrong?
thanks for ur advice its very importante to avoid tenis elbow injurie
Has this dude grown in the last 5 years. I’m bigger than HIM now wtf.
In another video of yours, you say that using a rope or v-bar (the palms facing inwards) on the pulldown will put emphasis on the lateral head of the tricep. But this video contradicts that.
This guy is brilliant. Idk what his background is, but he clearly understands movement and exercise. Combine this with excellent communication skills to spell out these ideas, and bam! I’m learning more than I ever thought I’d need to know. Thank you Jeff!
If you thumbs down Jeff’s videos, have the balls to say why. Then the rest of us can explain to you why you are Fing stupid.
Hello sir ap chest ke har part ko trane kaise kare tips video banaye
Thank you, Sir! Your videos always help me! Your cable crunch video was the only one that really helped me to correct my form!
I had a guy in the gym tell me that I was doing it wrong because I was doing it exactly like the way it should be done as shown here.. And guess what, bro science at its best, he told me to stop right at the 90 degree mark, I knew then and there he knew nothing about it.. I am happy that there are real trainers here, like you guys who are showing us how things should exactly be done.. And guys never trust anyone blindly unless you know that person who really he is..
I see a lot of those douchebags at the gym, especially when there’s only like 2-3 girls at the weight section
I do all the shit you say but bro
I have far bigger arms than you�� #cheat reps for life#
Your tip about retracting your shoulders for bicep curls was the best tip I’ve ever had
Tricep pushdown is the 1 exercise that I can’t do with my right arm no matter how low the weight. The only way I can do this is compensating with my left arm bc this exercise makes my right tricep feel weird, like the muscle is fluttering or something. I must’ve had an injury at some point. I just work triceps in other ways like overhead push, overhead cable extension, diamond pushups, and various rows. Idk what it is about the pushdown
Just for fun: eating a healthy whole breakfast is killing your gainssss
Wouldn’t twisting the wrist at the bottom force more tension over time? I find twisting the wrist gives more of a burn sooner than not twisting… if using a rope for a drop set, I’ll do as many reps with twisting before going to non-twisting reps then dropping the weight.

No wonder I run out of weights to add and feel the exercise is so easy.
Honestly, I feel a different (stronger) tricep contraction when I use the underhand grip. Do it right now with no weights wherever you are extend your arms and contract your triceps hard using an overhand grip; now flip it to an overhand grip, and contract the triceps I feel a much stronger contraction with the underhand grip.
Liked this video no bullshit, just logic. I wished you’d have mentioned the biological law of accommodation when you said “Why do we do different variations?”
I knew I was doing something wrong as I was doing nearly the whole stack and barely feeling it on my triceps! Watched a bit of this vid, followed the advice and immediately my triceps have blown up like balloons after a couple of sets. The best weight training advice on you tube without a doubt thank you.
Damn I used to always just stand up straight. When I lean, I start using shoulders… Doing it with a lean is harder to do it right. Hmm
video stolen from sebastian fitness solutions, same title and content, uploaded one day after sebastian
Is it possible to replace cables with other exercises?? Bands maybe or other?
I know they aren’t going to be as superior. But I only have access to me home equipment and I don’t have cables unfortunately!
Hey Scott, just discovered your channel and I wanted to thank you for the extremely informative videos. The proper form videos you put up are very clear and direct and a great help. Thanks a lot!
Meanwhile. I watch your videos for both knowledge and correct posture. But the motivation and inspiration are equally present. L9ve your videos. If I could afford your programs.. I’d jump all into it. But for the now. Your YouTube channel is so very much important.. Thank you. Thank. You.
WoW info provided so clearly is a tremendous help in building a better performing stronger body. Form Form Form makes a positive difference. Have old C6 injury, focusing on muscles from shoulders down to remove any risk of injury to C6. Beginning to build 6 pack abs! have any info to share?

4 minutes of a 5 minute video before he ever touches how to do the dang excercise. Love the information Jeff provides but there was nearly zero instruction or information on how or why the excersise works.

I miss this starting music. So peaceful. Jeet Selal is the best
Great video man, I want to take ur opinion about squat w shoes vs barefoot what you think is better
I tore my triceps 2 years ago and It still hasn’t recovered. I have lost my hopes.
Tks coach.
Good vid
I’m no pro, but I was always taught that form and isolation are pretty much the most important things when lifting weights
not making sure everyone can see how much weight your lifting incorrectly
Long head of the triceps crosses the shoulder joint and is involved in pulling the arm back behind your body. Seems as though avoiding full contraction of the muscle by not doing exercises which extend the arm behind your body would be limiting potential growth.
Underhand cause when using overhand you tend to use your shoulders when you’re fatigued.
The amount of free knowledge in this video is insane. Jeff needs to start Athlean UniverXity.

If I signed up for the program, where do the work outs take place? My local gym?
@athlean-x do u recommend taking creatine while dieting n exercising n being overweight??? Or should i wait till i drop the weight first
To prevent future elbow injuries make sure your doing your connective tissue work.
Thanks Brother I’m paying attention to everything you said & do as well
I’d like to see some over weigh workout routines. For people who are not just building muscle but also want to drop weight. Routines are normally where alot of use lose heart. Routine loss.. Not knowing what a routine is. I’d live 3 routines to know by heart. And can have as go to.. And as I learn more I can advance my routines.
You forgot ‘Jack-Hammers’ as a very common mistake of using too much weight. Leaning over the bar and using your delts\chest to push down with little tricep involvement.
I read somewhere that the underhand grip targets the forearm a little more similar to how reverse curls target the forearms as well
What kind of water is in that fridge? Just want to verify it is 7+ ph:)
To impose the greatest demands on the triceps, is to adopt the pronation hand grip over that of supination: Supination, in the negative phase, employs some degree of use of the biceps; you always want the triceps to bear the load. Also, additional exercises, when a trainee has already attained a considerable degree of growth, are counterproductive to a program, since the more advanced trainee does not recover as well as the beginner. The reason for this is that metabolic recovery ability improvements are not congruent with strength gains: One high intensity rep at failure for an advanced bodybuilder can be equal to a whole workout for a new trainee in terms of disturbances to the recovery ability. So, as one advances, one should do far fewer exercises and this includes the different triceps exercises.
You possess above average length of your long triceps head, by the way, the way that it stops almost three quarters of the way down your humerus on extension of your arm (average is half way down). You could build quite a large arm.

First time dislike your video in your last mistake video you said you stand straight while tricep exercise WTF yar ��
Love to watch Jeff & listen to his step by step detailed workouts. He is my go to every time I go to the gym I watch a video on muscle group that I want to workout for that day. I’m 69 & consider myself in descent shape but always want to be better. My wish would be to be trained by him to see how much further I could better myself. I can only hope his videos can do that for me in hopes I am doing them correctly. Thank you Jeff Cavalier you are My mentor on line ❤️
Sir what to do to get around 10% body fat….,, plz reply….
Can you cover hands together or apart on this exercise when you reach the bottom
Once those triceps get burning it’s one of the most painful but rewarding feelings because when you see those horse shoes blow up and make your arms look twice as big, the female equivalent is a chic walking around with big tits.
What about using a rope all the time?…….God you look good.
hey scott. i really like your vids. but something is wrong with your clothes 😉
What was the name of that blue belt he was using on the pull downs?
My bros! Thanks for showing us the correct way for this workout. Awesome!����
Great info, thanks Scott. I see I’ve been over training my triceps.
How many of you get that tingly feeling in your penis while doing these exercises?
Damn dude you really do know what you’re talking about.. I’ve been watching you now for about 4 months since I started weightlifting and I’ve had nothing but great results watching ya bro. Keep up the good work man and stay gaining lol ����
scott seen that the underhand grip hit the medial head more tried it does feel this way
A pronated grip tricep pressdown is an all-in-one basic exercise… a supinated tricep pressdown is basically a tricep kickback… which is a cutting exercise that brings out the heads of the tricep… a neutral grip tricep press down is another cutting exercise that brings out the Horseshoe in the tricep! The last two exercises are pre-contest exercises… for most people they’re wasting there time, there’s no contest pending!
Sir you rock.
I have lost over 300 lb and your videos really inspire me to stay in shape.
@ATHLEAN-X
You are too good when it comes to explaining muscles anatomy and workouts… Whenever I see your videos, I learn many new things..
Thanks a lot..
Legend says Jeff filmed this entire video with 200 pounds on the cable. He didn’t realize it until afterwards.
Great information brotha. I really like how you indicated that a wider hand placement on the bar will put more focus on the long head. I find that far too many people complicate exercises, especially when doing their triceps and biceps by utilizing needless overhead or curl positions. I always feel my long head activated during wide grip and reverse grip press downs.
The Rope Attachment & the V Bar Attachment are the best ones.
I use both underhand and overhand for biceps, I always used just overhand for triceps I didn’t know you could use underhand, I’m going to start doing it.
I definitely find that when doing reverse grip tricep pull downs I can focus more on squeezing my long head, and when doing overhand tricep push downs I can really focus on squeezing my lateral head. I usually do 4 sets 8-12 reps for both grip variations with drops sets after each set.
I just did triceps this morning and wish I knew this. Maybe I’ll do it during lunch when I hit biceps. It’s ok, I didn’t plan on using my arms this weekend anyway.
He is right in this. Before, I do this jackhammer. It did not do me much. I switched to how he does it, I felt more power.
I want buying your t-shirt, have international shipping options? Im from Turkey.
I want to know broccoli ko pakane ke baad kana chahiye ya fir raw kana chahiye??
Fuck me I admit that I did that jack hammering. Thanks a lot for showing me the correct method.
It isn’t weight increase it’s increased tension. I see a lot of guys put too much weight on everything. I get it. I fought my own ego for years. Form over function + patience.
i heard that keeping neutral grip on cable pulldown (when you have the hand attachments that allow it), it works the long head, using a pronated grip works the lateral head and using an underhand grip targets the medial head the most. is there anything to that at all?
Love these tips! Gotta save dem triceps for years to come. #srylockout
Great video Jeff! It answered a question I was going to ask about straps that I have seen some use for their triceps work. Thanks!
Supinited grip se to only long head nehi keya biceps pe bhi terget hota hain..
DNT FOOL PEOPLE HERE JUST BY CONFUSING THEM..THE FUNCTION OF TRICEPS IS ELBOW EXTENESION..ONCE UR ELBOOW IS EXTENDED UR WHOLE TRICEP MUSCLE IS GOING TO BE WORKED
Wow that is so much better, what kind of rope or whatever you cal it should I get?
Half of my workout is looking how to do the exercise from Jeff
Thanks so much Scott! This opened my eyes big time. I’ve got a long term shoulder injury which prevents me from doing dips, close grip bench press and overhead extensions so all I’m doing is pushdowns with different grips
I saw the hand rope replaced with the bar grip and I was like what the? Tried it out and my goodness! This activated my triceps like never before! Love the bar much more than the rope.
Really enjoy your videos. On this one, you spent a lot of time on the anatomy and bio-mechanics, and not as much on how to actually (step by step) do the exercises to “get jacked.” I appreciate and respect your knowledge and fully trust that what you say is good and makes sense. I may not recall the science of your videos but will definitely remember the form and execution of your recommended exercises. I mean no disrespect just providing constructive feedback. Thanks!
Thanks jeff, so glad i found athleanx 3 years ago while searching. Keep the vids coming
I learned more about the jackhammer than actual proper pull downs:)
Damn who would do the tricep pulldown like that people are crazy or what
I really liked the explanation. Very comprehensive and straight to the point. Looking forward for some more informative videos like this.
Jim, I work out at home, no cable machines. What’s a good exercise to build up the area right above the elbow that seems to be lacking in many of us 50 plus lifters?
What if you slighty target the different heads in other ways with the upper or underhand
you know you have 3 heads
Also i surely have heard that one big and trust worthy fitness youtuber i think athleanx said that one of the heads i belief the long one, has such a insertion at the shouldrr that it is also activated when you bring your elbows behind the back. Furthermore i definetly heard him promoting triceps kick back with his reason that at this exercise you are avle to feel peak contraction. So how should this be possible. Also how can you explain that my triceps gets sometimes kinda sore when i do pullups. And if the only function of the triceo is to extend
then why does it have three heads.
The effects might not be too big
but using different variations surely is a Way to get a tiny spark more out of your workout in my opinion.
I followed Dorian Yates for a while on old YouTube videos like blood and bone. I’m glad I did because following the guidance of my friend and mentor lead me on a path of lifting correctness. I come here because you mimic the same versions of how lifts should be done. So, I know you aren’t full of shit.
You also have a different insight that I otherwise didn’t get from my fitness enthusiast/friend/trainer.
Needless to say. People should take in multiple sources of info. However, Jeff is consistently great at this.
Lol what’s the obsession with people thinking that supination/pronation affects all these muscles that don’t attach on the radius of the forearm?
“So if u r using the VeBa” the word sounded like a new app����
Sir gym ka time ek hi rehna jaruri hai kya?? Muje kabhi time nhi milta to me gym ek hi time pe nhi maar sakta..
This was exactly what I was looking for today. All questions answered, time for some gainz. #ISYMFS
I like the underhand, my grip is pretty bad, so it helps me like 5% to build my grip strength
Supinated for me I’d a lot harder to add more weight compared to the traditional style. I have wrist issues so I’d use the V bar or wide grip on Flat bar. Great Video!
He is terrific. I myself just now have learned how to do tricep pushdown the right way!
Scott i recently went in for xrays and an MRI on my shoulder due to major shoulder pain I’ve had for a few years, but i was wondering what workouts i can do t9 bring out my side delts more (gonna get a badass tattoo and need the shoulders for it:D ) i always inevitably get the pain and weakness in my shoulder when working out but it seems like when i do deadhangs and work the rear delts it temporarily relieves the pain, so my question is, Can i build size by doing side raises with light weights and high reps?
You say its unecessary to bring your arms behind the hips but why do I get a better squeeze when I fully lock the elbow and then slowly move my arm behind me?
Boos koi esa tips dijiye jo humari thai me asar kare or dait me bata dijiye sir
You were one of the first YouTube channels I followed about 5 years ago and this is the first video I’ve watched I’m about 2 years… Where the hell did you get that accent lmfao I can’t talk though, my New York accent has started to show through the years but your Boston accent is out of control.
Above a certain load (vs bodyweight) you have to move forward a bit to keep balance otherwise you’re pulled in front.
JEFF THE ENDING WAS GREAT, THE LONG STRAP IS THE SHIT, GONNA START DOING THOSE FULL RANGE OF MOTION
BACK ARM DISTROYERS

Sternum pressure/pain when doing dips mate idk why im new on dips too I have no solution atm it feels like someone is standing on my chest, no pain during the dips tho its afterwards I get that sudden realese of preassure.
You have answered more of my unspoken questions! Great presentation!
Jeff Always great videos. Thank you. For me and surely for ppl like me getting to othe training is the easy part..taking the proper amount of rest is NOT. I know it is just as important..but how do you get over the guilt of not going and resting enough. Thank you sir.!
Jeff “skip to 3:49 of my video to see that actual exercise” guy
Jeff is so 100% rite on in this vid. I use TrakHandle Pro-X (2 handles) mounted overhead& slightly behind me in a custom made concentration curling machine with arm pad craddles for each arm. This rig is both for multi angle curls as well as concentration triceps pull downs. The handles allow wrist, hand, and forearms variations to hit every head of the triceps. Jeffs wisdom & instructions apply perfectly to my custom welded/fit incline bench conversion.
sir tricep push down lgate samay max weight kitna hona chahiye
Very interesting. My workout partner “cheats” on every movement. On Monday we did back and biceps. He says his biceps arent sore. I said ” that’s because you never actually lifted anything with them “.
Most of his bicep lifts activated his back, chest, and shoulders more than his biceps.
Thank you for your invaluable advice! It’s hard to ask people for advice when you are at the gym because nobody wants to be bothered when they are in the zone!
Awesome! Thanks I was really needing to hear this! I was wondering what the correct way to do this was because I did feel a lot of activity in my chest when loading heavier weight. Big ♡ from Sweden!
cam you do a video on perfecting barbell or dumbbell curls as well
I have been sending Jeff’s video links to new guys around the world more than anything on the web, what a guy ��
Sir hum protein kitte tym tk le skte h,m 9 month s continue protein supplement le rha kbhi 2 kbhi 3scoop,continue lene s koi dikkt toh nhi h na,plz sir reply Jaror krna,request h.
I love you fohad you are professional bodybuilder you know what you talking about you are the best in my opinion
My freind doing wrong way he gets better muscle than me who doing right way…why..god…
What I LOVE just as much as the exercises are Jeff’s crystal clear, scientific explanations of how things work. If I could I would make it mandatory for other trainers to watch and learn from his videos. I paid hard-earned money for years to people who claimed to be professionals yet who didn’t care if I get any results. Jeff is the polar opposite, he is educating and helping people because he cares. This guy is worth his weight in gold.
Why do my abdominal muscles feel sore after I do this am I doing something wrong?
Is it fine to be doing them while standing completely upright? I’ve been doing that for quite a while now
Everything you say is on point well def recco this channel to ppl who aren’t sure how to get started
Sir Osm video hai pr aap ek video schedule program ban sak te ho kya please
Trust me the two exercises feel different in the triceps and hit the muscle differently.
I have to disagree with him. Anybody who has performed both movements can feel a significant difference in the tricep heads and the forearms with each grip.
I do both, and feel it in different areas, I also do close grip barbell.
I tend to do more one handed underhand grip, and the rope is great.
Great advice Scott.. Any advice on elbow pain whilst performing Triceps exercises??? Cant seem to get shot of it at all. Also shows up doing pull ups. Thanks Scott..
