Tricep Push Up Exercise - Atomic Triceps Blaster!

[TheBoomboomboomboomb]

i've been doing the old fashioned push-ups for a few years and now it's hard to adjust to this one. I can't control myself with going outward instead of going straight down.

[GuitarKid905]

I have a question about cleans, when I used to do them I would feel all the strain in my shoulders rather than my legs, do you know why I would feel this and what I was doing wrong? thanks

[leemhayward]

@GuitarKid905

You are better off getting some one on one instruction from an Olympic lifting coach for this.

[leemhayward]

@fooyoufool

It's just genetic, most people have one side that develops better than the other. I get leaner and harder on my right side even though I do the same training for both sides.

[chaknoww]

why does this hurt my wrist so much?

[leemhayward]

@chaknoww

Did you try doing them on the exercise mat? That helps ease the pressure on the wrists.

[blatantlyable]

i like to stick with a bodyweight regiment since i dont have time for the gym and i gotta say the small change from regular push ups feels insane. great workout lee. got any good bodyweight challenges?

[TKMSeznam12]

@blatantlyable Try the 300 challenge, or make your own!

[weideriron]

hey lee i have a question for you. I think i am experiencing overtraining i am feeling really tired and weak through out the day i have lost interest in everything and have a loss of apetite and insomnia my muscles dont burn or pump up when working out this has been going on for about the past 2 and a half months and have been to the hospital several times and did blood test and everything and all of it came back good i dont know if this is overtraining or something else? I havent trained since.

[leemhayward]

@weideriron

It sounds like over training. But generally taking a week or two off from working out and then going back to a less intense routine will fix the problem. I find working out no more than 3 days per week works well for avoiding over training.

[htaehxela]

i want someone to do this one armed

[madhopsz]

That's not good for your elbows

[TommyPickle74]

I was on the Steroid World site( which is a bogus site, incase anyone is looking into other options) and they have a link to your fitness page on there. Just thought Id let you know that someone using you to validate their ripoff site.

[Toxxic88]

best shirt ever

[beatjugglez]

nice shoes

[TylerH2055]

he makes superman look like a bitch

[popsugartvfit]

Great tutorial!

[wisdometernal]

Lee how do you avoid elbow pain doing these? I LOVE bodyweight triceps extensions ( picture this pushup, but off of a horizontal surface elevated above ground height so you can drop down between your hands for greater ROM) but I experience alot of elbow joint pain.

[stellarola]

Your form is awesome considering how hard these bastards are to do. I fail after about 3-4.

[flaminfireboy]

crap i can barely do one and my triceps are ripped... this is gonna be good

[cul10043601]

How much are the handgrippers that you were selling? Are you still selling them even?

[leemhayward]

@cul10043601

Yes, just go to my website LeeHayward*com you'll see a link to the hand grippers in the right hand menu bar. We offer volume discounts (i.e. order more than 1 gripper and save some cash :-)

[cul10043601]

@leemhayward Thanks. I remember you saying in the video that there are varying strengths on the grippers, what would you recommend. I'm not a beginner working out but I am to hand grip training

[sathanas222]

Getting the workouts rolling again, glad to see you're still pumping up and pumping out videos Lee :D

[WhyTheHorseface]

Lee, what do you think of dips for triceps development?

[leemhayward]

@WhyTheHorseface

Dips are a good chest, shoulder, and tricep exercise. This push up variation here isolates the triceps more.

[TheUKATVOfficial]

This guy is a savage, this guy is a beast!

[SKATHAROZOUMISS]

THANKS FOR THOSE WONDERFULL TIPS AND VARATIONS EXERCISES....LOVE FROM GREECE!!!!!

[SKATHAROZOUMISS]

leemhayward ....YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!AND GENIUS!!

[aSexyHamburger]

Hey lee, just a quick question about biceps. Have you ever seen the guys, where they have huge biceps? I mean when they're relaxed, I've seen them like 3 -4 inches tall. If that makes sense.

How would I achieve that? Is it genetics? 

[leemhayward]

@aSexyHamburger

It's a combination of genetics and hard work in the gym to build truly massive arms like that.

[aSexyHamburger]

@leemhayward Thanks!

[nickpeter101]

WAIT! Your my bodybuilding coach!?!?!

[leemhayward]

@nickpeter101

Yep, if you keep coming back and watching my videos then I'll be your virtual online muscle building coach :-)

[bozzza69]

I love all the different type of push up variations i like to finish with wide wide grip push ups

[kc550]

Nice exercise, how much do you usually weigh on your off season?

[leemhayward]

@kc550

In the off-season I usually weigh around 220 pounds, and I'll diet down to about 195 for competition.

[djhau278]

is this any different from diamond push-ups?

[leemhayward]

@djhau278

Yes, they will work the muscles differently. Try both variations and see what one you like the best.

[vONESHOTKILLERv]

holy shit lee these are hard..you make them look easy

[jgq85]

Is it counter-productive for me to do cardio after a 1 hr workout?

I'm trying to burn fat but my workouts are only chest one day, arms next day, back next day, legs next day, and so on. So I'm not doing compound exercises so I feel like I'm not burning fat.

[leemhayward]

@jgq85

That's fine, I often do cardio after my weight training workouts to help with fat loss.

[FredTS]

It's awesome that you are uploading in hd now :-) Oh, and great workout too!

[paulleysway]

DANG !!!!! This looked easy but when i tried it.. A WHOLE NEW STORY ! lol, i couldn't do many. NIce job and very helpful.

[darkerca]

U look really good:) Have u ever taken steroids or prohormones?:)

[runescapeclassicable]

can u make a video on difference on triceps dips and chest dips .??

plz

[HALOPROPRO]

the deeper you go... the harder it is

[leemhayward]

@HALOPROPRO

LOL that can apply to a lot of things :-)

[teliosteroide]

@leemhayward Yeah totally ^^ the deeper you go the more you stimulate ;) if you catch my drift. I mean seriously just try it on weighted pushups squats and most exercizes regarding bodybuilding in general.

[13AlbinoRhinos]

I knew you had to have a Superman Shirt somewhere in that closet.lol

[gregory49]

Cool Video LEE!

[RyAn0o7]

good stuff :)

[xllClouDllx]

loving the shirt mate

[benebenicio]

Sorry for my English - This would kill my triceps, looks awesome, thanx Lee, This would be perfect after finishing my triceps workout or do you recomend it as a part of my triceps workout.

Thanx.

[littlevitor]

my tris and chest stalled til i added push-ups,core got a lot stronger too

[AdamSpooge93]

Good stuff

[17thwonder]

I will have to give this one a try sometime

[eduardois123]

Thanks !

[FitnessGuru91]

great vid as always man ill try this for my arms for sure

[eduardois123]

Hi lee i 15 I have a quick question would your recommend a 3 day split for me or a upperbody and lower body split which I am doing now for example Monday upperbody Tuesday lowerbody wedensday rest etc ???

[AdventKingBand]

@eduardois123 i'm not lee hayward but the 3 day split has given me more results than when i used to do the uperbody & lowerbody split.

[leemhayward]

@eduardois123

The 3 day split routine I posted up would be a good routine to follow.

[bunnyracin]

elbows are going to get fucked if you constantly do this

[leemhayward]

@bunnyracin

To each there own, but I don't have any elbow pain, etc. with this move. I find that all the stress is on the muscles, not on the joints.

[sexbomb2292151]

lee wts ur height ?

[leemhayward]

@sexbomb2292151

5'6" (which is 167 cm for you metric folks :-)

[KevenElevenTV]

[leemhayward]

@KevenElevenTV

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoy the videos :-)

[osmosis2259]

Gotta love the Superman shirt :)

[LoLOWNEDuMAD]

didnt u already make a video demonstrating this excercise lee? :S lol

[KingRockets]

@LoLOWNEDuMAD yeah he did lol but that was a while back

[leemhayward]

@LoLOWNEDuMAD

Yes, I made a video with this move a couple years ago. But I'm going to go through some of my older videos and "update" them with some new info. For example, doing this move with your hands on an exercise mat makes it a lot more comfortable and I never mentioned that in the older video.

[VoidMuffin]

you wont gain mass by doing push ups... 

[leemhayward]

@VoidMuffin

Try it and see, you'll be surprised by just how challenging this exercise is.

[benebenicio]

@leemhayward Sorry for my English - This would kill my triceps, looks awesome, thanx Lee, This would be perfect after finishing my triceps workout or do you recomend it as a part of my triceps workout.

Thanx.

[romeocasanova90]

@VoidMuffin yeah you can... get a backpack and put a 45 pound plate. You won't be able to wash your head for the next week. you gotta be creative to be a body builder ;)

[mohdzo95]

@VoidMuffin Pushups are a great massbuilder. I know sevral bodybuilders who only do pushups and pullups and they are buff as hell!

[Proud2BeAPirate]

@VoidMuffin Wow.

[Rnassif123]

@VoidMuffin i did pushups day and night for a few month i got a pretty decent chest from just those pushups

[Jsavolainen]

@IAMMeBeing bet your skinny

[wccrispy]

Ron Paul 2012 Spread the word Lee :D Haha. I think Ron Paul does these for Freedom.

[harrymaynard]

You have such a "thick" body type.

[xdavidsphdx]

You posted this exercise a couple of years ago

[leemhayward]

@xdavidsphdx

Glad you noticed, it means you are a regular :-)

[zlaith]

@leemhayward lee ur amazing,besides doing it with feet on the bench would be really challenging.

[Th3FinishingT0uch]

Yeah great exercise, really focuses on those triceps. Take the tips about the wrists, and keep them in mind. You don't want to put too much strain on your wrists and injure them.

[matt517472]

10th

[nonchalantd]

i love that pushup

[32success1]

can you get sick from drinking expired protein?

[ThePrototype27602]

@32success1 I wouldn't take the chance lol

[leemhayward]

@32success1

As long as protein is stored in cool dry place it will last a LONG TIME, even longer then the so called expiry date on the label.

[32success1]

@leemhayward great! thnks!

[imvincenzo10]

@leemhayward Lee, You prefer flat sole for squat and dl? Such as converse.

[elwin504]

@leemhayward how about expired carbs ? (waxy maize starch)

[CherPsKy]

:O

[vONESHOTKILLERv]

i'll give that a try in my next workout, thanks lee!

[ryanjg34]

Lee, you're getting pretty big, you been hitting the gym?

[DjFikus]

I'm doing this excersize as we speak!!.. i got the biggest pump ever :P!!! Thanks Lee!

[jada791]

@DjFikus Geez, whilst typing! lol that would be a tester! : )
