What do you do for triceps?
Directly, a lot of cable pulldowns, cable, extensions, skull crushers, dips, close grip pushups. In-directly, bench press

Yes and yes. I did use the swiss bar once upon a time, but not recently.By extensions - Do you mean the Cable rope overhead extension? Even if you are just doing direct work via that, skull crushers and tricep pushdowns on the cable, you really should be hitting them at all the different angles that you need to. Are you using the EZ bar for skull crushers? If so I would recommend changing it to the bar where your palms are facing each other (Swiss bar). Unfortunately, we can’t all be like Chris Tarrant have have huge triceps
I'd say he's good for the brahsDoes anyone watch or do any of Ryan Humiston's programs and exercise's ?
Just wondering if anyone has found them effective
Lol yeah, Tarrant had extremely defined armsBy extensions - Do you mean the Cable rope overhead extension?

Buy some bands man, chuck them in ya gym bag and loop them around a rig or chin up bar or something at gym and see how they compare to the cable and free weight exercises you're doing for tricepsYes and yes. I did use the swiss bar once upon a time, but not recently.
Also, I can't seem to hit the long head on my left tricep like I can on my right arm. Very imbalanced
Man I had huge upper back/scapula DOMS from this the last 2 daysOk, tested the waters today
Was thinking of heavy doubles and triples around the 120-130 kg range, but felt good at 120 so thought bugger it, see where I was at seeing its been about 6-7 weeks since my 135kg 1RM and I've improved my rep ranges since then
Did a triple at 120, a single at 130 (felt I had a double in me there) then I equalled my 140kg pb for a single, probably was a much better lift than I did when I was 22 as I had help on liftoff then, whereas twas all myself here
Had a 10 minute rest, tried 145, felt good on liftoff and controlling it down, then I hit the sticking point on the way up and had to bail
I think seeing elements of the lift felt reasonably solid, perhaps if I went straight to 145 instead of 140 I may have got it in
3 more weeks to break through that 140 barrier though (150 would be nice, but probably beyond me at the moment)
Cheers , yeah I watch his youtube stuff .I'd say he's good for the brahs
Offers variations of common exercises
I only watch his YouTube clips, never bought a program from him (or anyone else for that matter). I like his style though, direct and to the point, demonstrate the exercises, explain its benefits and he's done, no overanalytical rambling fluff like the Nippard types
Stick to the basics and what works for you, but for something new, yeah try out his exercises throw 1 or 2 in every now and thenCheers , yeah I watch his youtube stuff .
I've been throwing a few of his variations in . They are tough work so think they are effective.
Just not sure if I should go full with his stuff or keep as I am with a slight change here and there
I know its not relevant to this thread, but I think those that hit the gym can appreciate the degree of difficulty here.
Forget balls of steel, you made balls of adamantium, Wolverine style.
Wowee Birkenstocks, eliteHow’s the Birkenstock and socks combo
Yes, I do a quad stretch called (yoga term) the Half Reclining Hero pose.Just posted this on another board- does anyone get or start to get cramps doing certain exercises?
Was doing bench press the other day with the PT. 2-3 reps into it could feel my back cramping.
Changed it to a 45 degree incline and was ok to do the full set/s. Anyone else get this??
Deadlifted 215kg for 2x3 today. Coming for 260!
Speaking from my limited experience; start including an exercise (or exercises) that you haven't done before. I had only done dumbbell kickbacks for a while, didn't feel like it was doing that much, tried theraband kickbacks and holy shit did it burn. Progressively increase your volume/weight/resistance on that and move onto something else after a while if you don't feel like it's doing much anymore or if you're bored of it. Also increase how often you train triceps, make it a priority, I wanted to see if I could sort of fast track my arms, I went from about 1-2 times a week to 2-3 times a week for at least 6 months and I reckon they developed more than all other muscle groups which were only getting trained 1-2 times a week. So if it's meant to be chest day and you've had 2 days rest since doing your triceps, push the chest back a day and do triceps instead. I think that worked for me so now I'm doing the same thing for chest.I've finally reprogrammed myself to not default to chest and to focus on back and shoulders and that's going really well, especially back which is probably as wide as it's ever been.
But my triceps are ******* terrible. Pls halp. It's not like I don't focus a lot on them coz I love tricep training, but results are sub optimal
Checked him outbeen binge watching/listening Andrew Huberman's series on YT
the bloke is like a database of information on health, nutrition & training. Highly recommend if you haven't heard of him before.
