[MattTheAlmighty]

Whats their workout routine? Bicep + Back, Tri + Chest, Legs? Just those 3 days? Somone help me out! Shoot me a message or reply please

[LostFaceify]

Jimmy told me to grip it at the end of each bar to really engage the chest.

[JJFitness23]

Great and funny video! Check out mine :)

[nowaytogofranco]

drop the intro routine already it's obnoxious and all I do is skip past it.

[youngharzard]

lol "shoulder pops haha"

im five ten and i put my index finger on the indent, it just depends on whats feels natural, but if you go to wide you just look stupid

[drpdeeznutz]

I grip it right in the center with my mushroom tip

[GymMonkey666]

Wider grip, Wider chest.

[mwgcubs]

@GymMonkey666 maybe, but you still have to eat your ass off

[MrWellminded]

i snapped mine up about 2-3 weeks ago going to wide. it hurt like a mother. about to start doing bench again. going light for a couple weeks

[geckotrouble]

you guys crack me up ahahah

[CaliforniaAngelsBOYY]

Who is jimmy and tyrone, do they have videos? but anyways i didnt know virginians say "hella" i thought that was only niggas from california lol

[CoDisafishy]

@CaliforniaAngelsBOYY They're just made up characters by the hodgetwins to represent their trolls

[AqualimitedX1]

FUCK IAN AND JIMMY AND TYRONE !!

[Favre1013]

Guys too wide sill limit ur lift by the strength of ur shoulders. If ur shoulders arent as strong in compRison to ur chest and tris use a medium grip with pinkys around the ri gs

[pistoff33]

Why are there always a couple of fags who always dislike these videos? How could you dislike this? They're just offering pretty standard advice.

[MrWashHouse1]

all of my fat stores @ my mid section and my chest.. I have zero abb defenition.. I don't know what my body type is.. small bones.. small frame.. but put on stomach fat easily and even when I was real thing my stomach was always "Flabby" in reality it wasn't fat or anything it just didn't look good AT all..

[MrWashHouse1]

Question, Is there any way to tell if I have bad muscle building genetics?

I am about 6'3 186 pounds atm. Been lifting about a year now. I have super small wrists I can wrap my index/thumb around it and overlap a little on the nail.. my calves are small i have a big waist my shoulders aren't necessarily narrow but not broad either. My neck is long and skinny I have no mid section defenition My arms look kinda big my chest doesn't really puff out that much. Id say I am about 14% body fat.

[turdrhinofiend]

@MrWashHouse1 You probably have bad to average muscle building genetics but whats your diet and training like?

[jameslloyd43]

did anyone else yawn when he yawned? i did

[IanMcStruthers]

i like to bench press with one hand in the center

[vONESHOTKILLERv]

good advice mayn

[datu0108]

MAN GET THE FUCK OFF THE WAY! LMAO

[BabyGsus7]

What do i do if when i do bench press, in some where in my shoulder it starts hurting

[FreshTPick510]

am 5,11 and am olny 15 :P and got chest

[aidandavitt]

@FreshTPick510 what do you weigh?



[FreshTPick510]

@aidandavitt 180 am slim though and some big ass hands and feet size 12s shoez

[AboveElevated]

6.3, wtf!?

[Dmacho78]

I'm 5'6" and I put my pinky around that ring. Kinda weird considering they both have 8 and 9 inches on me

[noodlescratcher]

@Dmacho78 same here, kinda sucks being short but I guess we can get swole faster lol

[Dmacho78]

LOL, it's like keith needs to lay off the carbs. He looks like he's crashing.

[yagurlbubblez]

its so funny to see how articulate kevin is on this channel LMAO

[madzyadzy07]

keith look tired.

[diwnohsaur]

i'm also 6'3 and use the ring finger on the ring grip. jimmy struthers told me to grip both hands in the middle of the bar!

[domzoh]

turn on transcribed audio for the last 20 seconds, "But it's just a bus,caught then we will NOT STOP INDU"

[Muscle4LifeX]

3:45-3:55 LMAO!!

[LedZeppelinPage]

Jimmy and Tyron say that shoulder pops lead to massive gains.

[7judas77]

@LedZeppelinPage they told me they naturally have a big money grip.

[iamDEONDRAE]

and and... MOVE THE FUCKKKKK OUT THE WAY!! lol

[bigplayray09]

Whats good twinz

Im going to make a reply to this video.

[ItsJR516]

Ian McStruthers grip is so wide that he grips the weight on each end of the bar and he has no problem making all kinds o' gains!

[Nosk1R]

fellas a good thing to remember is keeping a straight wrist whilst doing the bench press to reduce susceptibility to carpal tunnel syndrome

[simobgbgbg]

The best way u can find you bench press grip is to see how ur doing pushups! I prefer a doing a lil bit wider pushups and thats my bench grip!

[steven288]

Twins... before you bench, pull your shoulder blades together as tightly as possible, and tuck them downwards (not a shrug), this will take the stress off the shoulder joint... your shoulders must not move when you bench press... the rear delts must pull back and hold the shoulder blades together the entire time

[steven288]

pull the shoulder blades together and down before you press..... not a shrug...

[Aj007cool]

lol

[J3yblivion]

shave your heads and facial hair you'll look cool

[Rava625]

these guys crack me up lol



[TheZaibs]

Fuck, i yawned right at the moment that dude on the right did it....

[achillesled]

I go reeeal wide and im pretty sure thats what has fucked up my chest gains.. I think im getting better results with dumbbells.. might go back to barbell and shorten my grip..

[blueleaf1717]

@achillesled dumbells are better anyway less stress on the joints and u can just drop them when u finish

[simobgbgbg]

Do a video on Postsex nutrition! Should I take some whey after i skeeted cause I feel tired as hell man!

[xPURPL3HAZ3]

Keith why don't you bring it home mayne ? It would be better ! But it's just advice, you can do whatever the fuckkkk you wana dooo0o0o0o0

[achilles1878]

Keith, that was quite a yawn at the beginning of the video, man.. did you take in those simple sugars again man? Don't let too many of those simple sugars snap up inside of you man otherwise your insulin levels are going to ejaculate all over the place like Ian McNuggets does when he pulls his pimple mushroom tip

[simobgbgbg]

how to grip the mushroom tip while inserting it in some sugar walls?

[los1wochos]

@simobgbgbg paralell soulder wide grip.

use straps if needed

[7om72]

shoulder pops and back snaps mayn? yall getting into the breakfast cereal industry mayn?

[GeForce440gt]

Ian McStruthers told me to bench with my feet while eating a pop-tart

[any1k]

hey twins i know how you guys hate the butterfly chest exercise but ive been windering how tou guys have a full chest such as ur inner chest and you dont do them bitchflys any advice on how to build ur inner pecs to have the more fuller look. ty twins u rock

[AntonSlizzardhands]

But it's just advice...

[Spade193]

Can you guys make a video on your current ab routine?

[SnapCity1]

@Spade193 They dont hit abs while on a bulk.

[MurkaDurkuh]

Holy shit that's wide.

If you're talking about Olympic bars.

I usually make a fist, point my thumb out, and the end of my thumb goes on the more middle rings.

[k5lta]

i almost snapped my shit up yesterday on the bench press lmao!!

[drumamike]

yal funny as hell

[drewbene]

you guys are awesome. thank you for your videos. i wake up every morn, and watch before the gym,

[5pecialist]

Ian balances the bar right in the middle.... with his nose.

[baller3994]

Why do I never feel it in my chest? I'm pretty sure im using correct form.

[p0k3sMoT42o]

@baller3994 I had the same problem forever, lower your weight and focus on using your pecs. If you have to, do flys one day, then while you're still sore, try it. That will allow you to feel your pecs working better and make it easier to focus on using them.

[djole94]

on the real guys whats the best grip for someone with fckn long arms and narrow shoulders. if you were serious about giving up lifting i dont even...

[lankan7407]

@patizel

[racingheart1302]

Can you do a video on how to get out of a benching plateau please?!?!

[ceelo4]

hey hodgetwins what do you do if you go to a smaller gym and can only work out during rush hour with a long wait for certain exercises? For instance my gym only has 1 leg press and it takes a while before I can get my turn on the machine. Is it better to just do a different exercise or wait for the machine?

[bmxguy321]

you dont wanna snap some shit up man, but you dont have to follow my advice... YOU CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YA WANNA DOOO

[babybeAsta877]

any mushroom tips?

[dinos98]

Do you wrap your thumbs or not?

[tomconjalka]

Jimmy Struthers does soda pops everyday....

[stebrabakone]

What do you suggest on mushroom tip grips???

[ReverseMyCurse1]

Q:Do chest workouts get rid of man bobs??lol

[shurdawg]

@ReverseMyCurse1 Weight loss gets rid of them, and building muscle in your chest tightens it up.

[oddie93]

The longer your arms are*

[Dreadedaries]

loll kevin stole the show this time !!! lol xD go kevin!!!

[mechan9]

Do you guys share the same clothes?

[FatGuyFitnessForum]

shoulder pops LMAO!!

[AMPepin1992]

But anyway, I was about to give up on the bench and go to weighted dips until I saw this video. I think I am going way to wide lately, and therefore can't bench that much as I use to =/

[AMPepin1992]

Jimmy Struthers, Tyrone Jackson, Malcolm Bojangles, Nick Wright, and Ian McStruthers don't even put their hands on the bar..... they go so wide that they are holding the plates with the palms of their hands.

[xXJeReMiAhXx99]

@AMPepin1992 lmao

[Newengland1250]

So is that one of his kids in the backround or dose he live in an apartment with thin walls?

[ronbeastly]

2:32 lmfao!!

[monst3rul3s]

mushroom tip grip tips

[yolocody2]

I'm only 5'4 and got pretty short arms. My bench press max is 210. I weigh 140. I use my middle finger on the line on the bar.

[412fish0828]

Ian McStruthers is all about them shoulder pops

[zebrazebra1990]

What do you think about Nick Wright's BIGBACKGRIPS that he's trying to sell? do they assist with stroking the mushroom tip?

[Arunictrichloride]

Im 5'5" and I grip that bitch right outside the rings. My chest is more prominent than any other part of my body (besides mushroom tip)

[AdangerousRETARD]

@Arunictrichloride manlet

[Arunictrichloride]

@AdangerousRETARD u fatlet

[AdangerousRETARD]

@Arunictrichloride lol... at least my insult was actually based on something!

[MAUROtele]

Ian mccarthy wants to build some musle

[jackitpotato]

These ian mcarthy and jimmy struthers top comments are gettin fuckin boring man :\

[Gooknukem]

@jackitpotato Ian brought it upon himself.

[meatbawheed]

@jackitpotato I agree with you man. The where boring the day after the first video.

[viveyutub14]

does long repetitions with light weights build muscles ?

[StereoSkater]

@viveyutub14

It will build some muscle but it works muscle stamina more than bulking the muscles up. I'll let them elaborate further since they're the more knowledgeable, lol

[cam44123]

i feel like I can only go shoulder width without it feeling like its ripping out my shoulders. Should I try to widen to increase my bench amount and just deal with the uncomfortableness?

[boneTHUGS111]

@cam44123 no stay in a comfortable safe range..i used to go as wide as the twins are saying but im 5ft7 so for me that was to wide and it ended up fucking my shoulder up! you can lift more weight like that but its not worth the months off time and time again! stay shoulder width dude

[cam44123]

@boneTHUGS111 thanks for the excellent advice, I'm 5'7 too, sometimes I just get frustrated when I can't put up that much in bench. You prolly got big tricep muscles too.

[DeadTelevision]

@cam44123 im 5'7. I got big tri's haha and have the same frustration in benching.

[Sader2202]

Hey Keith I'm on that creature I'm on your shit.

[Dluu22]
