Dude, your time to make these videos, is appreciated by far far more folks than you realise. Thanks again for your effort in doing this, it is appreciated big time in New Zealand! Keep it up!
I am a huge fan of scooby. I think he is such a great and funny guy and I have learned so much from him and knowledge is everything especially when it comes to your own body. So these video's help a lot! Thanks scooby for your dedication!
I workout since my 15th (now 19). Not always weight lifting,but most of the time.The problem is that i really dont have the genetics for gaining mass...so now i do have definition, and people are surprised by the strength i produce in the gym. The heavier i lift(I DO lift more and more over the months),the more definition i get. I tried weight gainershakes,but still only gained about 2kg,any advice how to gainmass, it doesnt have to be dry mass per se.Thanks in advance.Aram
you tryed creatine? i normally put quite abit of weight on with that. only problem is it mostly water id just eat alot more carbs in your meals i was the same about that age im 21 now it easier to gain weight has you get older i think..
Hi, I gained big mass with the palm diet - 10 kg +. Piece of meat size of your palm (mostly grilled pork or chicken), not inc fingers, and another amount of carb size of your other palm, - veg carrots taters etc, twice a day, just boiled or steamed. Took Whey powder three small spoons after a workout (3-4 a week). Breakfast was whole milk and muesli and a banana. Everyone's different, but if your at the stage where the body fat is being replaced by muscle that may explain the slow mass gain.

hey scooby, i have a problem when i do this workout. it seems like my arms start shaking much before my triceps burn whatsoever. i have lowered the weight but then i can do way to many reps until i burn (like 30 reps) i have no idea why i cant do this excercise ive been lifting for a year
Try doing a different triceps workout before the skullcrushers.
Btw nice vid, I love skullcrushers, me and some friends used to have a superset that ripped our triceps. It was skullcrushers, then very close grip bench, and some other triceps thing (can't remember the name). We did each step x10 then did the whole set a few times at the end of the workout. My triceps at least doubled in size over a few months.
It's only a half truth. Weight lifting can stunt your growth, IF you use an unsafe amount of weight. Doing too much weight can damage your growth plates at the end of your bones. So the key is starting small and working your way up and you'll be fine.
subscribe to scooby's videos and then go to your subscriptions and click on scooby's vids.. there are a Large amount of great videos that hes done for you to look at . take the time to watch all of them when you get chance .. if you want any other help you can message me and ill give you any additional information .
Hey scooby...this is a little off topic for this video but i wanted to ask about back workouts. I would like to see an advanced killer back workout video...i saw the one you have on your site but it really involves a lot of pullups. I am not great at pullups but are they really the best for your back?? I really want to improve my back so what should I be doing??
i tried this variant...it's harder ;-) i noticed i could do less weight so i'm wondering what do i exercise keeping my elbows open?
today i did 1h and 9min of mountain bike i tried to run fast to elevate my heart rate in the TZ however i should buy an heart rate monitor or something for 20euro to check it
ive been doing the skullcrushers for awhile now, love them :D they are awesome. i do at the end of my tricep workout with a lower wieght and higher reps seems to work for me that way :D
Scooby, I have recently tried to avoid doing that certain excersise for the triceps because as I push them up towards the peak I feel a small snapping pain its like its a bone or something but w/e it is it cant be good. so instead ive been doing close grip barbell bench presses with arms to the side for triceps.
My question is.....when doing push ups, what muuscles am I actually working? I have been trying to build myself up to do more because I have not worked out in a while but after doing 12-15, I feel the muscles in my chest and my triceps also. Is this right?
Yep, pushups is chest, triceps, and shoulders too depending on what style of pushup you do. This is why I push pushups, they are a great allaround upper body workout and if you do pullups in addition, you hit almost every muscle except abs. Throw in crunches and you got it covered :)
pushups workout chest, triceps and shoulders too which is why they are such a great exercise. Do em with pullups and you hit your entire upper body except abs
you make great videos with great tips that acually work! i was doing all that bowflex bull crap for like a year and never got any good results! then i found your videos and website and got a few free weights and now i am seeing awesome results from just a few months!!!! keep up the good work scooby
its fine if you start workin out, just need to start of slow and let your body get used to working out. it wont stunt ur growth or anyhting if thats wat ur worried bout
No, I'm not a teenager and I'm definitely not dumb. Nor was I talking about scooby. I replied to the guy who was ranting how French people were all gay. I'd say it's stupid of you to think I was talking about scooby since it doesn't apply. But I guess, since it takes a while before YouTube puts comments underneath each other, it was a mistake easily made. So, no hard feelings on my end.
I love your videos! I hope you will continue making these videos for a long time ^.^
There´s one muscle group you haven´t covered yet.. And that is for the under arms.. I know that´s basic stuff, and I know how to work them, but that could be a nice video you could make.
I have dislocated my sholder doing dumblepress few houers ago, I am so so sad , I was progressing so well, now I cannot do any thing but physotherapy(sorry about the spelling mistakes I am from israel) .I think your work is great you help so many people,
scooby what's your opinion of supersets for big arms? guys like Bill Grant swear by them. I've had mixed results, sometimes doing supersets tires me out so fast that I don't feel like I'm getting a full workout, but then again sometimes I'm in the gym and feel like a superhero and do supersets all day long. Thoughts?
remember people you have to do various types of exercises like 1st, dips, kickbacks, two arm lying tricep pess, pussh downs etc, coz it shocks the muscles and your nerves then get a signal of to work harder, and you end up eating alot of protein to gow bigger blah blah blah lol.
Your grunting in your videos are unnecessary and unwarranted. It does not look you are lifting that hard to do what you do. I'm guessing you do it to look more manly
another problem... when i do close grip bench press for triceps i can't keep my elbows near my body and also keep my hands tight it's a strange movement for my wrist
Wide stance focus more on the chest, bring your arms into you body, tuck your elbows into your side and do them. It works the Tri's more than chest that way. Using the same principle as bench press.
Though push ups are widely known as an exercise for the chest, it also works the triceps out. You need multiple muscles to execute some movement after all. Your form would dictate what muscle/s the exercise hit most.
I've been watch your video's and thought your beginners video's are perfect for my wife and me. She is currently pregnant and wants to lose all the weight after the baby is born. But doesn't want to work out by herself. Your tips gave us some idea's of how to do it as a team. Thanks for the video's and keep em coming. I'll update our status as we go through this process.
You shouldnt even focus on primarly doing an exercise for your forearm. This is because when you work out on your bicep and tricep, it works your forearm automatically. Especially Hammer Curls. I dont focus on my forearm but they got big because of the hammer curls and other arm workouts.
This is because your upper arms are too far near your head and it's putting an excessive stress on your elbows. If you do these like he shows in the video (usually called "Skull Crushers") you won't experience it.
I just found another variation for the skull crushers the other day....you combine the narrow grip barbell press for the triceps with the skull crusher. Start with the bar on your lower chest, press it up as you would a standard triceps press, now lower your forearms towards your head as you would the skull crusher, straighten the arms back up and then lower the weight back down to the chest and thats one rep.
i like tricep dips with dumbells type it in on google or youtube to find out more about it. But its basically an exercise for triceps using dumbels and you do each arm separately
Love all of your vids and I do your exercises a lot. I only have a problem with training the muscles on the side of my back. I don't have a place to do good pull up and every time I have my arms in the air, my collar-bone pops out (it's because I have an extra rib (neckrib?)). Can you advise me any other exercise that I can use to train those muscles?
there is no other exercise that works the lats as well as pull ups/lat pulldowns. Though bent over barbell curls works the lats a little, but mostly the middle back muscles. Sounds like you should talk to a doctor before doing any more exercise, otherwise you might get injured
cool DIY.... well Scoopy.... can you do a squat video next??? i got large shoulders.... i just wondering if there is a FASt WAY to gain alot of muscle strength in my leggs.
From my experience, you need to do more than squats with barbell. use machines that train the quads and machines that train the hamstrings. try to go real havy atleast once a week. but ofcourse, you should consult a doctor before
a year or two over 40. You know Hulk Hogan? well he is way over 50 and still built like an ox, so is sylvester stallone. its never too late if you ask me
What other tricep exercise can I do that is similar to a tricep press that won't put pressure on my elbow joints? They seem to get bothered when I do this exercise.
Scooby, when I lift, I like to train to failure, reduce resistance and do several drop sets to failure each time. Do you know of a way to do hardcore triceps that is NOT called "skullcrushers"?
rseebs - take a heavy dumbell, hold it with two hands behind your head, sitting in an upright position. and it is pretty self explanitory from there, just bend your elbows to lower the weight behind your head and press up.
Yes, Scooby is THE MAN. I've been a fan of his for over a year and have seen amazing results - read his website - take his word like it was gospel. You won't regret it ;)
I agree 100%, I read his website and he gives great information. I too have seen great results and he's inspired me to keep pushing forward. Thanks Scooby!
yes, because pointing out elbows have a tendency to start using the chest... or if they're pointing out and you're NOT using your chest you are working the joint at an awkward angle, which is never recommended when using freeweights ;)
Yes cable push downs do pretty much the same thing but very few people who work out at home have a cable setup. This is something you can do with just a barbell (or even dumbbells)!
The problem with the French Press, is when I do them, I feel a lot of pressure on my wrists. Even when I do them with light weight. I've tried different variations but it won't go away, so in the end I replaced the exercise for another..
Well thanks, I probably have 100lbs more muscle than Chuck Norris but he could still take me down with one hand tied behind his back while reading bedtime stories to his grandchildren :)

it is a hard exercise, i guess you just need to fit the weight, you've had to much and you've had to little. you need to your weight is guess.
if that is not the problem, you should rather just practice it.

I just found another variation for the skull crushers the other day....you combine the narrow grip barbell press for the triceps with the skull crusher. Start with the bar on your lower chest, press it up as you would a standard triceps press, now lower your forearms towards your head as you would the skull crusher, straighten the arms back up and then lower the weight back down to the chest and thats one rep.

what are some other exercises you can do for triceps?? because i dont have a bar like that
Kalashnikovkira 2 years ago
you can work them without any weight. Do "dips." Do you know how to do them?

No, i don't know what those are

i like tricep dips with dumbells type it in on google or youtube to find out more about it. But its basically an exercise for triceps using dumbels and you do each arm separately

Hai scooby!
Love all of your vids and I do your exercises a lot. I only have a problem with training the muscles on the side of my back. I don't have a place to do good pull up and every time I have my arms in the air, my collar-bone pops out (it's because I have an extra rib (neckrib?)). Can you advise me any other exercise that I can use to train those muscles?
Thanks!

there is no other exercise that works the lats as well as pull ups/lat pulldowns. Though bent over barbell curls works the lats a little, but mostly the middle back muscles. Sounds like you should talk to a doctor before doing any more exercise, otherwise you might get injured
Irond3vil2 2 years ago
Nah I don't think I'll get injured. It only bothers me when I put my arms straight up in the air :)
Thanks for your response though!

cool DIY.... well Scoopy.... can you do a squat video next??? i got large shoulders.... i just wondering if there is a FASt WAY to gain alot of muscle strength in my leggs.
redtailwatcher 2 years ago
From my experience, you need to do more than squats with barbell. use machines that train the quads and machines that train the hamstrings. try to go real havy atleast once a week. but ofcourse, you should consult a doctor before

What other tricep exercise can I do that is similar to a tricep press that won't put pressure on my elbow joints? They seem to get bothered when I do this exercise.
CubsFan2006 2 years ago
Do the same thing but use a reverse grip where your palms are facing you.
juukyuu7666 2 years ago
You can try doing db or close grip bench press, tricep extensions, pushups, kick backs....

Scooby, when I lift, I like to train to failure, reduce resistance and do several drop sets to failure each time. Do you know of a way to do hardcore triceps that is NOT called "skullcrushers"?
rseebs 2 years ago
rseebs - take a heavy dumbell, hold it with two hands behind your head, sitting in an upright position. and it is pretty self explanitory from there, just bend your elbows to lower the weight behind your head and press up.

What does he mean by "Don't let your elbows pop out?" at 2:34
Does he mean "Dont let them pointing out?"
ShadowX114 2 years ago
Yeah, the point is to keep your elbows motionless. the only things that move are your forearms, up n down
nsasukes 2 years ago
yes, because pointing out elbows have a tendency to start using the chest... or if they're pointing out and you're NOT using your chest you are working the joint at an awkward angle, which is never recommended when using freeweights ;)

doesnt the cable pull downs do the same thing?
tranquil65 2 years ago
Yes cable push downs do pretty much the same thing but very few people who work out at home have a cable setup. This is something you can do with just a barbell (or even dumbbells)!

Hey there Scoob. Your head is too big:p..
The problem with the French Press, is when I do them, I feel a lot of pressure on my wrists. Even when I do them with light weight. I've tried different variations but it won't go away, so in the end I replaced the exercise for another..
