Totally agree. The only extensions I like: * Barbell floor extensions: very short rom, allows for heavy weights, but painful on the elbows eventually * JM Press: half the movement is a press.

* keep the torso vertical * lower yourself until upper arms parallel with the floor Not doing this will turn it into a chest exercise.

1) do some wrist stretches 2) Hold the weight at the base of your palm, as close to your wrist as possible (but in you rhand of course). thumbs around the bar. 3) check the grip width, it should be shoulder-width apart (12-14 inch) 4) You could mix chest with triceps. One press, one flye...

Lift as fast as you can. All sports go fast, so does lifting weights.

espi -> presses are superior to any kind of extensions, more weight is used. We all have our preferences of course. Whatever works for you. Looking at videos of powerlifters doing max attempts is not the best thing to do. Technique goes lost in all of us when doing max attempts. Your...

Good question. Heavy bench press/overhead press will already hit the triceps hard. I don't do any direct triceps work to be honest. I let the overhead press do the job. I'm happy with the results (not doing bodybuilding anyway). If you want a bigger triceps: 1) eat more 2) add...

Thank you! Trying to break the bar means that you have to try to break the bar apart. You grip the bar strong & try to bend it. This involved the triceps more & allows bigger weights. Old powerlifting trick.

Thanks Alex. Advanced trainees will definitely have it easier with the cgbp than the dips when going after big weights. Couldn't agree more.

If you want big arms, you need to increase the size of both your biceps & triceps. But how do you train your triceps best? This article gives 2 secret exercises for Massive Triceps. The Secret to Massive Triceps Enjoy!

Correct. You should being able to row/pull-up as much as you can bench press. I've done weighted pull-ups for a single with 30kg (66lbs) attached to a belt.

Have you considered seeking the advice of a doctor? with the little info you give us, it's hard to tell you what you have.

rows work the horizontal plane. Pull ups work the vertical plane. Rows have a carry over to bench press. Pull ups/chin ups have a carry over to oh press.

I do it because of this: 5 Reasons You Should Start Strength Training

true. Most girls will feel insecure because of the way you look. Another reason why they will tell you they don't like it. If you stop: 1) you're more available to them 2) your value drops

Rolling at the top of the movement is dangerous. Bad for shoulders. People who do this, want to emphasize the traps more than they already do witht deadlifts. As you write: traps hold the weight isometrically. Gives them enough work. If you want to work the traps: don't roll shoulders...

I think it's rather the mindset (ambition, discipline, persistence, confidence,...) that it develops that attracts them. But you're right, maybe they were attracted to how I look like. Could be another one the sirens' mindtricks to make someone stop what he does.

Listen to Effort, good advice. I recommend you to start doing powercleans for power development. All sports need power.

Post workout nutrition should consist of protein & carbs. chicken = protein White rice = carbs It'll have little fat too. You want to gain muscle, eat up.

Caffeine speeds up your metabolism. bad.

Low budget is barefoot :) I walk a lot barefoot at home, it's more natural. You've got it, as long as its resists compression, you're ok.
