  • thanks for another great exercise im going to try this. i love triceps they are my favourite muscle to work, i have also seen alot of progress in them since i started, it does my head in when people exagerate biceps, triceps are bigger muscles they make your arms look cool. :)

  • can you please make a video of the Kick Backs?it seems to me that there is no use for this exercise

  • I think you should show it from the side next time too. I'll try this the upcoming monday, seems good. And also, if you do a wide bench press grip then you also work out your triceps a lot too, right?

  • i love the brench press

  • Jm press?

  • Hey Scooby, where are you? Lolololololol! Yeah jk

  • What's the difference between this and French press??

  • @yaron777 french press goes down to ur skull(forehead). This goes down to ur throat.

  • great as usual scooby, this one has got my triceps gaining nicely

  • @smokedontcry Your comment has got my dick gaining nicely, brah. Keep up the good work ;)

  • cheers scoob!

  • @SinkorSwim1000

    Its all about rep range and muscle confusion. Anything below 10 reps is considered a slow twitch 'mass building' exercise. 10+ Reps hits more fast twitch fibers and is better for sculpting or endurance. Intensity matters. 10 easy reps arent going to build mass. No matter how you lift your last 3 reps should be somewhat difficult. Weight always should get higher when the last three reps of a common exercise become easy.

    Eat for size as well, muscles need lots of fuel to repair.

  • Comment removed

  • @SinkorSwim1000 Depends what your goals are, if your trying to add size use a weight you can only do for 8-10 reps. If you want to be stronger, use a weight you can only do 3-6 reps with.

    Say for instance I wanted to train for hypertrophy (muscle size), I would bench 315 for 8. If I wanted to train for strength, I would do maybe 345 for 4 or 5.

  • Hi scooby i am exactly following your workout n its working. Obama should hire you as health consultant for States you r the best....!

  • Thanks for tips!

  • skull crushers will be more effective by far more range of motion. And scooby please dont try and get all silly with your vids. your earlier vids are straight to the point.

  • Hey Scooby...

    Good vid...the only thing is that it seems more like a tri extension?...I guess because your shoulders move its a bench press?

  • do you do steroids? cuz it looks like it.

  • my mate showed me these but he calls them skull crushers because if you use too much weight, you can imagine what could happen

  • "we dont want nobody dying doing this.." lol ..

  • thanks scoob

  • What a really nice gentleman in the truest sense of the word.

    I'm glad that I have "discovered" Scooby's videos; it appears that in each instance he has condensed a ton of really good information, then crammed it into a one pound bag, and all with a smile on his face.

    I would never have thought of working the triceps in that manner. GREAT STUFF!

    Thank you very much Scooby. You are greatly appreciated.

  • hey scooby I have a question:

    Is there anything negativ about protein shakes?

    and can I loose muscels when I go in the army and I do a lot of cardio?

    And can you pleas watch one of my fitness training movies?

  • @SwissSniperCH Nothing negative about protein shakes, drink up. And when you enlist your definitely going to lose weight no doubt about it. There is just no way you can do that much cardio and training and eat enough calories to maintain or grow.

  • hey scooby I have a question:

    Is there anything negativ about protein shakes?

    and can I loose muscels when I go in the army and I do a lot of cardio?

  • Good vid ! Thank you from Germany.

  • i lold

  • you look like that actor that plays two-face in The Dark Knight, Aaron E.... something. thanx for the tips man, ill be sure to give you a thank you shout out during my first video shooting

  • Whats Up scooby!!! hey, Ive been following you for about 6 months now and Ihave Improved, lost body fat and feel way healthier but I just don't seem to gain any muscle mass. I probably need to eat more or more often but is amost impossible to take time off to eat in my office hours, is there a snack you would recommend that would help me? I mostly eat an apple and cashews in between meals if i get hungry

  • sooooooo you made a video explaining a skullcrusher???

  • Can't get Scooby right side up on my droid, the screen keeps flipping.

  • hi scooby.. im a student i dont have time to workout everyday.i only have time to workout on the weekends what should i eat to maintain my body ..vegetable??protein powder??? BTW im17 6feet tall and 145ibs

  • @tonyzhang1 You don't have 15 minutes every day ?

  • lool sorry this comment was for video top 10 bulking food but you tube was comment pending it and i don't know why

  • totally agree with u scoob but was wondering is steak,chocolate and raw eggs plus am 148 pounds eating about 3 or less meals going to gym twice only is this considered ok so reply man thnx

  • Gosh everybody asks the same questions i want a six pack, how do i lose weight, i dont have time to workout what do i do, how to get a bigger chest, watch scoobys videos he has hundreds of videos explaining what you can eat if you have no time, begginer workouts, advance workouts, teen workouts, he even has a site, so research more on his videos and site before you guys ask these questions if he answered every question, he would most likeley be answering the same few things every time

  • hi scooby.. im a student i dont have time to workout everyday.i only have time to workout on the weekends what should i eat to maintain my body ..vegetable??protein powder??? BTW im17 6feet tall and 145ibs

  • i hope you know this is called the JM press. it's not your exercise haha.

  • this guy is an android.

  • scooby, whats your view on fat redicing grills? i have one and they work great on red meat

  • i can no longer do these kind of exercises due to a sort of tennis elbow i have developed over the years of lifting. im only 17 and i dont want this to become cronic, any advice scoopy?

  • I do this with dumbbells and it works perfect. Just keep your arms at almost 90 degrees from your chest and move your forearm. The lowering phase of this exercise is a killer:D. It isometrically trains your back a bit too but you are going to be using very little weigh. Anyway great video Scooby.

  • what the hell is up and what is down on these comments cronologically speaking?? I posted a question right after the vid came out and cant find it now to see if there an answer, so much for youtube user friendlyness, f...... annoying

  • lol your upside down mouth speaking looks very funny xD anyway great video as always

  • Tommorow im gonna take a tree with me to the gym, and do some branch presses

  • Next time I do a video like this, I promise to do an outtake where I draw silly faces on my chin :)

  • @scooby1961 hey scooby how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

  • hahahahah I was watching your chin most of the time because it looked like an upside down face talking, but really, great video. very informative and good exercise!

  • @poke1dan If I was better with video software, I would draw a fake face on my chin :)

  • @scooby1961 lol

  • hey scooby ma man!! you should of put a flannel over your face from ur nose to ur fore head and drew on to fake eyes on ur chin would of rocked man!! p.s love the vid this exercise is great scooby press baby but real question do you eat scooby snacks?

  • Large chunk of hard meat. Yum

  • Nothing to do with the video - but why the fuck did you ban that forum user for simply disagreeing with the video and pointing out what someone else has said instead of writing it all out again. It was a pathetic reason for a ban. I just lost a great deal of respect for you.

  • You know german?!

  • hey scooby, when I do the regular bench press I feel it working my triceps too, does that mean that I'm doing the regular bench press wrong?

  • @Wattabattabingbang Nah, you also work your triceps when you bench press, just like you also use your biceps when doing back workouts like pull ups. With benching your target is your chest, but your triceps also do alot of work. Thats why people often do chest and triceps on the same day, so the triceps get like a total week of rest before working them again.

  • @mirrorpiece Alright, great, thanks a lot

  • CALL IT THROAT CRUSHERS!!!

  • do you have someone at your house that spots you?

  • Scooby you may of changed the name but its still dangerous.

    You need to change the posistion of your forearm and hand.

    Try lifting your bodyweight x 1.25 with this grip you will suffer from permanent wrist damage in no time.

  • Comment removed

  • Great channel Scooby but i have a question iv'e always wanted answering ...

    What muscle groups are you meant to train together? I heard that you do back & biceps, chest & triceps on the same day?

    Is this true? Thanks for your videos, true inspiration

  • Hey Folks, I made a big mistake in the title of this video so I've changed it. This exercise is not a CGBP, its my version of a CGBP which is substantially different. Naming it that caused a lot of confusion and concern. This is a GREAT exercise but its nothing you will find in any book so I've called it the "Scooby Press". This exercise is done with far less weight than a CGBP

  • @scooby1961 isn't this called a Caifornia Press????

  • scooby is there a difference between this and skullcrushers

  • @unclebucky3 I thought I covered that in the video, did I neglect to?

  • @scooby1961 yeah u neglected to cover it. Its no big deal it just looks very similar to skull crushers i would say the only difference is u bring the bar to your throat instead of your skull or behind your skull.

  • @scooby1961 can you tel how to lose my fat belly and get a six pack and i drink 2 litters of water everyday and i want to workout but i dont know what to do and im 14 and i weight 223 and i want to get a six pack and chest muscle i want my body like trey songz i know i have to lose weight first but how do i lose weight please help me

  • @subzero4768 Go to his website, And watch more of his videos he explains everything, he tells you the right foods to eat, the right workouts and safe workouts, he gots stuff for begginers for advance he covers, A LOAD of workouts and things you should know

  • @subzero4768 refer to tmuscle.com....start there, there's a lot of good info on that site and you can post questions in the forums

  • @scooby1961 Kind of, because I was wondering the same thing.

  • @nightrida07 you need to learn to be patient and give your muscles the time to recover... even when you feel like you can do more, take a day or so off. work out around 2-3 times per week weights and do some cardio in between.... go slow!

  • You should have put some fake eye balls on your chin for this video, it would have been hilarious!

  • Comment removed

  • "despite the name you dont need a bench and you dont need a press" haha great stuff, you should consider stand up comedy

  • "you dont want anyone dying doin this" haha, epic

  • 33 people cant do bench with narrow grip..

  • You don't need a brench, you don't need a press and you don't need a narrow grip. Other than that it's a very descriptive name for this exercise ;)

  • arent these called skull crushers??

  • @buster999121

    no with skull crushers you keep your elbows still and rotate around them

  • @buster999121 nah man skull crushers are slightly different.

  • hey scooby,

    i've been watching a lot of your videos lately and am trying to build muscle, however sometimes when i use freeweights or some machines at the local gym i feel that i don't have enough strength in my wrist to maintain proper form, and sometimes the are really sore afterwards. do you have any suggestions or tips?

  • hey how much weight do you use when you do narrow grip bench?

  • this been bugging me, whats the one liner you always say at the end of the video?

  • @LightRoll auf wiedersehen! :p

  • This exercise seems to hurt my elbows :\... you guys know why? my form is correct - just stains my elbow so I had to stop and revert to dips..

  • scooby suck

  • @MegaTruthseeker101 i dont think you know what your talking about.

  • The exercise shown here is:

    1) Not a CGBP - the movement he does appears to be a triceps extensions (skullcrushers) with elbows moving slightly downwards in the process (almost a California Press, but not quite). Maybe the shooting angle has fooled me, but the fact that he says to lower the weight to the neck supports my view.

    2) Dangerous - every recommendation of CGBP form says thumbs should be at least 6-8 inches apart for ensuring that the forearm is in line with the hand.

  • The brench press xD

  • Scooby is the dorkiest guy I've ever seen, but he is also the most healthy 48 year old man I've ever seen, also the most educated. Keep it up

  • what do you think of "Human Trainer the home workout system", the "TRX" or any Suspension Training String? do you think that I could get big as u guys if I use this methods? I mean of course, not using only this, but combining it width the "Iron gym" a nice pair of dumbels, a couple or bars and a bench, I could build a mini house gym right?

  • Hey scooby if I'm 11yrs old can I take protien powder

  • @youngandrekles Yes.

  • I always follow your advice Scooby, but this looks extremely dangerous. If anything slips or you cant find yourself able to push it back up you pose serious risk to damaging your trachea. Are you sure you shouldn't have a spotter? Even with low weights.

  • @aznpwnerp try the exercise with light weight first u will see if u need to set the bar down just drop your elbows down, and just be careful you dont let go of the bar ;) go ahead and go heavy but with good form

  • dude do you major brolicology?

  • HEY scooby do you know any combos like a forearm curl to milatary press I'm a amuture body builder compeating whith my friend so i nedd to gain fast?

  • yes!! german!! auf wiedersehen!!

  • Hey scooby, your videos help me out alot, but i was wondering if hanging upside down can help fix my bad neck posture? I used to have rounded shoulders, but i fixed it doing Pull Ups, Push Ups and other upper back workouts. Now i just have to fix my bad neck posture.

    I searched Google and found hanging upside down naturally straightens the spine ( With a natural S shape of course). At first i felt blood rushing to my head, but now it just feels normal, and i was wonderin how u thought of this?

  • Didn't you do this EXACT video like a year ago??

  • @freshprinceofindy4 lol maybe runnin out of ideas

  • how long hav u lifted to look like this and thanks 4 the videos they help alot

  • Aren't these skull crushers?

  • Hey scooby, did you play the bad guy from Mad Max 2? The guy with the metal mask and muscular body like yours?

  • Ok Thanks Josh for answering me, i bought some 20 pound dumbbells and i do bicep curls, about 16 reps , 5 sets for each arm, im doing them in good form. thanks alot!

  • scooby quick question i have been doing your beggining workout for about a month and a bit now but recently haven't been getting doms? I do use protein power. I wondering what your opinion on this is thanks

  • Isn't this a French press? (or skull crusher)????

  • Scooby wasnt this like a skull crusher but the the throat, i do about the same but i call it a skull crusher becasue i bring it to my forehead.

  • Scoody [dooby doo XD]

    thank you variously, if it where not for your dedication and videos, i would never had efficiently learned the workout information i have now, many thanks from puerto rico, and keep up the good work! ^_^

  • Who has a spotter for a home workout lol

  • Scooby, why does it say in your advanced workout to do abs Friday Saturday and Tuesday, is this a mistake?

  • Scooby you should do a video about protein shakes and which ones you recommend using-

  • Dear Scooby,  next time you make a video where your head is upside down, draw eyes and a nose on your chin.That would be hilarious!! (:

  • That's a weird variation!

  • wow man..i think ur 50 years old cuz of ur account name..u look more younger than ur real age..gym can get you young again ^_^

  • @pickledpacman Smith machine is the least productive. You should never do the smith cuz u won't see any growth AT ALL, well maybe some, but barely noticable.

  • hi scooby

    if i got this right you need 1 gram of protein for 1 pound of body weight so if i was 150 pounds i wood need 150 grams of protein i have i got that right

  • Scooby can you please advise me on how to get rid of pseudogynecomastia (man boobs)..there is alot of fat around and below the nipples.i have been going to the gym for almost 2 years but this is some thing I have been unable to get rid of..Please give me some really good tips and exercises i can perform in the gym.

    secondly, can you also please advise the best exercise PLAN for huge biceps and triceps.i am 6 feet tall and have 15 inch arms (flexed) . this is obviously not a good result.HELP!!

  • i am 26 years old and weigh almost 185 pounds

  • Scooby. Thanks so much for these straight to the point, brief and useful videos. I have adopted many of your techniques and have noticed a difference already and it's only been a few months. I really appreciate it.

  • A response would be cool. Right now I need to work on my endurance before I go to basic for the military, but I'm unable to because of the snow and weather in the state of Ohio. I don't have access to a gym or recreation center either, just because there are none nearby. Is there any exercise that would help my endurance until spring-time?

  • Hello mr Scooby,

    Ive been training for almost a year but still don't see result..

    can I send you a list of my meals and a pic of my upper body so you can tell me where to focus more? I post it here becouse i cant post on you

    re FB wall somehow.

  • @nightrida07 Please use the personalized workout planner on my website. It will give you the right workout schedule and exercises for your ability level.

  • Comment removed

  • do u even own a shirt?? hahaha your a legend scooby!!

  • "this is a great exercise you can do" *sticks tongue out*

  • Look @ the mouth while he's talking. looks like a mouth of its own.. hilarious

  • I like ur videos and everything but I don't like you face, although that has nothing to do with anything but yeah...

  • Scooby do you flex your abs when you do everything?

  • @aznplayertake Those with chronic lower back problems learn to keep their abs flexed every waking moment to protect their spine.

  • Important question::: i was wondering if when you do your exorcises,,, do you go untill you absolutely cant life the weight anymore?? complete muscle failure?

    or is that bad ??,, although i go every time untill i absolutly cant move., i notice im the only one in the gym who really does that,, i notice even the most advanced budy builders i see,seem stop before muscle failure,,,,, anyways great vid. imma try to do that with a perfectly straight bar, i dont have a curved bar like that yet

  • @mirrorseye Scooby usually says to pick a weight that you can perform 8-16 reps with, but with body weight exercises you go till you totally give out!

  • @mirrorseye Failure sets are good, but they consume alot of energy. Sometimes u might wanna do all failure sets to change ur workout, but usually I only do like 4-5 failure sets for each of my workout, 1 for each exercise(last set of the exercise). Also, for the close grip bench press, ur supposed to do w/ a straight bar, not a ez curl bar.

  • @nevermoregg ah great advise!, i never really thought of my energy level,i go for an hour fifteen or an hour and 30 mins just muscle failing for the past month and just recently ive been trying to go longer but im just beat,

    ill definitely use your advice!,and great news about the straight bar! thanks allot!

  • i dont think i ever commented on your videos but thanks to you i been working out just about everyday for three months now. over all im much stronger, my chest, arms, legs are developing real nice but my stomach still looks like a beer belly. i do run or use a exercise bike like three times a week and do between four to six miles. im only 5'8" and still weight 184 pounds. can you tell me about how much time it takes to develop a nice abdomen? well this exercise was good, thanks for the videos.

  • @GusTwoThousandTen if you want to lose fat fast, wake up every morning at like 6, brush ur teeth and then do some cardio & sprinting for like 30 min. Guaranteed to lose fat fast.

  • Hey scooby dooby dooo!!!

  • Dorian Yates, one of the most respected men in Bodybuilding, and almost certaintly the most knowledgable does this excersise, so it's not bad at all. Stop nit picking! 

  • Hi scooby, im 15 , 160lb, 6'4. Tall and play ball. I'm sort of slim but Ive been doing 100 push ups and 40 tricep dips per day, along with other excersizes, and im not getting the results i feel i need, im eating normal so i was wondering whether i should start using some sort of weights, please respond. big fan.

  • @9khabbo9k 100 push ups per day!? So when is the muscle repairing? It's not... Depending on your level of fitness and strength you only want this 1- 3 times a week. Once a week if you are more experienced. Pushups alone are OK, as long as you do varients of them, narrow grip, wide grip, feet raised etc. Weights are good also.

  • @9khabbo9k once you could do 15 - 20 good formed push ups in 1 set, and 5 - 10 good formed pullups in 1 set, then you should start hitting some weights if you would like, and just cause your doing a high number of reps does not mean your tearing enough muscle, you have to workout with more intensity if you really want results,

  • Im pretty sure this is just the same workout as skull crushers.. :O

  • does scooby ever blink?

  • @nightrida07 Well the general rule is to give each muscle group about a weeks rest. So you can work out mostly every day as long as you break everything up...you know, like biceps/forearms one day and legs another day kind of thing.

  • This would've been hilarious if you'd painted eyes on your chin ^^

  • What's the difference between these and skull-crushers?

  • this video is creepy...

  • Anyone experienced can answear if beef jerky is good for snacks?:)

  • @PyroNonStop Sure Its loaded with Protein but Usally loaded With Sodium So If i was Scooby I would'nt suggest it Because He likes Nice healthy food.

  • @xxzipitxx shouldn't have a problem with Organic Beef Jerky, should he?

  • @joshyboy524 Well Of course not But Usally Beef jerky out there Is Pounded down with salt.

  • @PyroNonStop No!! Deffo' not good. Try a handful of nuts and a protein shake.

  • Guys just tell me if you want me to explain in detail why this exercise is counter productive and dangerous.

    By PM ofc i cant explain everything with a 500 charactor limit.

  • @thestamp21 You'd be wrong, so I wouldn't bother.

  • Comment removed

  • @thestamp21 CGBP is fine. Scoobys version aint, i have nothing against the real CGBP.

    People are sending me messages getting this confused.

  • @thestamp21 Tell me please.

  • @thestamp21 I would like to hear what you have to say. Please PM.

  • @thestamp21 Tell me

  • Comment removed

  • @thestamp21 if you could, you would do it shortly here. Auf Wiedersehen!

  • Comment removed

  • @thestamp21 tell me why this exercise is dangerous and counter productive

  • @thestamp21 guys im talking about Scooby's version of the CGBP not the real CGBP which is fine.

  • @thestamp21  Please, explain to me.

  • Great tricep move and excellent demo if it! Remember.... curls get girls and tri's get size!

  • very useful video, also for people wanting to commit suicide in style! Just load a shitload of weight on the bar, start lifting it until... u cant.......... no more......... and then drop it and you'll die with huge arms from the pump in style!

  • make more videos you fucking ass hole! lol just kidding! love the videos thanks for taking the time!

  • idol

  • haha "brench"
