Just want to give you thanks. Just letting you know I tagged your name and channel in my video. Only reason is to get a lot of views, so I can change peoples life in a positive way
heyyy dude i was wondering how long did it take u to get this big and when u started working out. Cuz its pretty rare to see azns (viet) people have a realy nice body. btw, do u use creatines?
@roughneckasian A chest dip is an exercise similar to the tricep dip only you lean a little more forward and the hands are place 1-2 inches further up on the dip bar. Uses the chest more.
@roughneckasian if you dont keep your elbows in on a dip, you use more of your chest. it actually makes a good chest workout if your elbows are way out!
@GrungeRockGod The more you lean forward in the dip the more you are targeting your chest. Also the further down you go the more you target your chest.
Most weighted dip videos you see have people leaning forward and using more of their chest. Go to the site Starting Strength . com and read the article "The quest for a stronger overhead press" there's a section about dips
@GrungeRockGod they'r both the same movement,except with chest-dip you (lean-forward)....tricep-dip you (lean right back-upper body completely straight up + down)! both great builders.
@GrungeRockGod Main difference between the two is grip placement. Generally speaking, a chest dip will have a wide hand placement (hands further from the body). The tricep dip will have a narrow hand placement (hands closer to the body). Placement that varies in your hand placement is found on your machine dips. Typically, the area in the gym that you perform dips will is a set distance (like the one Tuan is doing)- obviously working the chest primarily and triceps secondary.
@GrungeRockGod a tricep dip is staying upright the whole time - body straight. a chest dip requires you to learn forward, keeping your body at roughly 45 degrees from the floor.
Tricep dip works 75% triceps, 25% chest (mostly lower)
Chest dip works 60% triceps, 40% chest (mostly lower)
@GrungeRockGod It is where your place your feet and angle your body. If you have your feet behind and dip straight up and down it is more focused on tricep. If you place your feet in front of you and form the shape of like this ) keeping chin to chest and looking down it will focus on your chest a bit more. Emphasis on a bit.
@roughneckasian couldn't be more true - when i was still training people everyone wanted to know how to lose fat in a particular part of their body, and the fact is, your body will burn fat wherever it wants to. nutrition and working the full body is the only way.
@dm325 I wish there was a way, but as of now, the only way to spot reduce is to do lipo surgury, but if you think about how much it cost and that they can only pull out 15 to 20 lbs at most (because it is a medical risk to pull more than that at any one time), it really is not worth it
@roughneckasian it will also leave a spotty pitted look sometimes. It is very hard for the surgeon to get a smooth uniform look. My girlfriend wanted some spot reduction and even the top plastic surgeon still could not get perfect smooth look. I would not personally recommend it unless you feel its absolutely needed.
@dm325 if you do a lipo suction you have got to be just as diciplined as you would by taking off the fat with training and diet. You will gain the weight again, as what happens during a lipo is just emptying the fat cells, they will scream for food, and you will want to eat. There are no simple solutions, diet and exercise, diet and exercise. If you are going to spend your money towards losing fat and you want to shape ur body or w/e, just use the money on Tuan here instead.
how can you impove the amount of reps you can do on that, cuz my dad can do like 60 of them, no joke, he said if i can ever out do him he will buy me a new laptop, how can i increase the reps of those dips, but he does it with 2 chairs and goes between the 2 chairs with the back of the chair facing him
hi tuan, been watching your videos for inspiration and wanna say good on you. I'm vietnamese too, and have been training on and off for 7 years now. Gave up for a year but have started again for 2010. I'm a hardgainer, 6ft 71kg at Xmas but am back up to 79kg. Didn't think asians could get big without roids but uve made me give it another shot. Good role model!
How come you have decided not to go heavier than 120 lbs? You could probably bust out a few reps with 200ish around your waist. Are you afraid of too much overload on the tris? Shoulder strain? I ask this question because I developed a condition that feels and acts like tendonitis in my left tricep after doing dips with 90 around the belt. Thanks
mostly because I hate pulling the chain through some many 45 lbs plates. I have gone up to 4 45 lbs plates, but it was a pain setting it up. Also for safety as well. If anything should go wrong, for if I hit failure, I would not like to have that much weight on me. For a good heavy tricep exercises, I like to go with either close grip bench press, or ez bar skull crushers. Best of all, easier on the joints
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i can bust out 700 in 45 minutes with my own bodyweight. i tried doing the 120 lbs not as easy as it looks. i did 15. im 190 6% body fat. 20 years old
if i was not training for powerlifting, I toowould not lock out as well. ifs best to have a very slight bent in the elbows if one is to do dips. so that is good that you do not
for me in the meets, I have to lock out on the bench press, so that is my reason. but when training for bodybuilding, i will not lock out ever. thanks for the comment
no, but i do alot of mobility training, myofascial release, stretching and do may pulling exercises to keep my posture in check. you may have anterior shoulder postural deviations. if you do not work on that, then your shoulders will aways hurt. plus, there are other ways to train the triceps, so if any exercise give you pain, just find another one to sub for it
how long have you worked out? I can think you have used many years to build a body like that without steriods and stuff like that. Your videos are a big inspiration to other athletes and bodybuilders. keep making them and good luck with future contests!
good observation. it can be if you are not careful. However, in a powerlfiting meet, the person MUST lock his elbows in order for all 3 judges to give him the white lights as a good bench press. if I do not lock them, they will foul me on the lift and I will not get the credit for the it.
And trust me, I would rather do this lock out vs 400 lbs on bench anyday. but if i did not powerlift, i would not lock my elbows, and if I did, it would be just my bodyweight. thanks for the comment
I alawys thought that and been taught, not to lock youre elbows but stop just before lock out and lower 2x slower than you went up?Workx well with no injury to possibly worry about
Watched almost all your videos man, I must say you got a god dang nice physique! but you're strong too! showing many people out there that there is strong bodybuilders too! keep up the strength man! and post some benchvideos! that would be awesome!
Damn, that looks great; nice and controlled. I actually just found your videos and I'm going to follow your development closely from now on. You don't have a blog or anything like that? Anyway ... Good luck with everything, and keep doing your thing, because it's clearly working out for you!
what do u use for a pre workout and a post workout supplement? and whats the STRONGEST fat burner? cos i need to look good for my vacation next month and i need a little help
i always keep my elbows tucked in to keep a more compact posture and body position to give me the most stablility and support. for myself, i would never flare them out for it may lead to injury in my opinion. however, that is just me and that does not mean that flaring the elbows out will not work for others. all in all, i would rather use another exercise like pushups or dumbell presses to get a better feel for my chest. dips are more of a clean up at the end of the workout. hope this helps
you do have a good point. however, when doing the bench press in a power lifting meet, locking the elbows is required before they let you start your lift, and after you finish your press. you must fully lock out your arm before they give you the command to rack the weight. if u dont, you are disqualified. so because of that reason, i have to train like this. BUT ONLY FOR THAT REASON. But once my training gears towards bodybuilding, i do not lock my elbows, i stop right b4 the lockout.
yea i was actually afraid for you considering u got 120 lbs while locking out ur elbows. I know this guy who was locks out his knees when doing really heavy leg presses and now hes got those hiyena knees, the ones that bend backwards..
hello i cant do this bymyself i have to take about 60kg off to be able to do this any ideas on how to fix this? do you have msn or something would be a great help?
thanks for the comment. yes my friend, that is a chain belt where you can add extra weight when doing exercises, and it is 120 lbs hanging on it. but trust me, I do not do this on a regular bases.
trust me, i don't do this at this intensity every time. also, it took me years to build up to this strength and conditioning level. thanks for the comment
hi tuan im kind of a new fan because you have the same outlook as me. i was just wondering if you had stretch marks at any time during your life in bodybuilding and do they eventually go? i have stretch marks and am natural like you. all my friends tease me and say im on roids. hope you can put my m8s straight and if not then am i just putting mass on 2 quickly? im doing a sports science course and take pride in my nutrition but i cant get my head round this?
try using coco butter on the stretch marks us it of than and everyday. that may help. also we are all different. some individuals are hard gainers, others can just look at food and feel like they just gain a lbs. just keep training, and if they are really your friends, they will in the end support you vs. teasing you.
Hey Tuan, I was wondering if I should incorporate some plyometrics into my routine. What are the benefits of it to bodybuilding? I'm not really concern with strength or agility, just size.
yes it can, but I have to have a strong lock out for the bench press in power lifting. that would be my reason why i lock out. if you joints hurt, dont do this exercise and do come cable extensions, db kick backs or diamond push ups. there are some many ways to training. trust me, i do alot more than just this for my tris
Hey Tuan. I just want to tell you to becareful, my friend dislocated his shoulder a little while back. Now he is depressed bc he cant do weightlifting and bc he lost alot of muscle mass. I have seen some of your routines and i think you are risking it.
Thanks for the comment and concerns. But just to put your mind at ease, this vids are much more extreme than my real training. I just showing off my full strength in the vids, but when I train, though intense it is not this extreme. trust me, if i was doing this much every time i trained, i would spend more time rubbing icy hot on my joints than hitting the weights...lol.
Trust me, no own or company will buy a piece of equitment that has not been test a great deal. So no need to worry too much. That piece of equitment can hold easily triple what I and that dumbell weight combined. But if you are in doubt, always ask to make sure
Wel done Tuan. Keep up the good work. I acidentally came across your video here recently and I have told all my Vietnamese friends about you. We are proud of you and hope to see more of your videos and photos. You're an inspiration.
Thanks for another great video Tuan. Could you critique my triceps workout? I'm doing tricep kickbacks, flat or incline skullcrushers, close grip bench, french presses (3 sets x 8 reps for everything) and dips to failure.
you got alot of volume in your program, and everything is in the strength range for reps. depends on what you are looking for. do some long movements like cable or dumb bell overheads. You got 3 muscles that make up the tricep, so remember to get the long head too. also one of my favorites is the tempo or timed set. 60 secs, do as many as possible and hold when u reach failure 4 the rest of the remaining time. try with dips or close grip bench. hope this helps. thanks for the comment

@roughneckasian you performed the tricep dip.
chest dip is when you utilize your chest more by arching
your back the opposite way and when going down opening
the elbows sideways, therefore putting the pressure on
your chest. not a bad exercise either i must say.

yea i was actually afraid for you considering u got 120 lbs while locking out ur elbows. I know this guy who was locks out his knees when doing really heavy leg presses and now hes got those hiyena knees, the ones that bend backwards..

hi tuan im kind of a new fan because you have the same outlook as me. i was just wondering if you had stretch marks at any time during your life in bodybuilding and do they eventually go? i have stretch marks and am natural like you. all my friends tease me and say im on roids. hope you can put my m8s straight and if not then am i just putting mass on 2 quickly? im doing a sports science course and take pride in my nutrition but i cant get my head round this?
p.s congrats on musclemania

try using coco butter on the stretch marks us it of than and everyday. that may help. also we are all different. some individuals are hard gainers, others can just look at food and feel like they just gain a lbs. just keep training, and if they are really your friends, they will in the end support you vs. teasing you.

Hey Tuan, I was wondering if I should incorporate some plyometrics into my routine. What are the benefits of it to bodybuilding? I'm not really concern with strength or agility, just size.
vunguyen12 3 years ago
it will help with conditioning and vasularity. that is why plyometrics will help, to get you ripped.

Ok thanks, looking forward to your next video

is it bad to lock elbows? what about for other exercises?
aannkk 3 years ago
yes it can, but I have to have a strong lock out for the bench press in power lifting. that would be my reason why i lock out. if you joints hurt, dont do this exercise and do come cable extensions, db kick backs or diamond push ups. there are some many ways to training. trust me, i do alot more than just this for my tris
roughneckasian 3 years ago
Hey Tuan. I just want to tell you to becareful, my friend dislocated his shoulder a little while back. Now he is depressed bc he cant do weightlifting and bc he lost alot of muscle mass. I have seen some of your routines and i think you are risking it.

Thanks for the comment and concerns. But just to put your mind at ease, this vids are much more extreme than my real training. I just showing off my full strength in the vids, but when I train, though intense it is not this extreme. trust me, if i was doing this much every time i trained, i would spend more time rubbing icy hot on my joints than hitting the weights...lol.

What's the weight limit of the handles on that apparatus?
I'm a really big guy, both ways, and, I'm always afraid that I'll break it if I were to do any exercises like that.

Trust me, no own or company will buy a piece of equitment that has not been test a great deal. So no need to worry too much. That piece of equitment can hold easily triple what I and that dumbell weight combined. But if you are in doubt, always ask to make sure

Thanks for another great video Tuan. Could you critique my triceps workout? I'm doing tricep kickbacks, flat or incline skullcrushers, close grip bench, french presses (3 sets x 8 reps for everything) and dips to failure.
gomuelson 3 years ago
you got alot of volume in your program, and everything is in the strength range for reps. depends on what you are looking for. do some long movements like cable or dumb bell overheads. You got 3 muscles that make up the tricep, so remember to get the long head too. also one of my favorites is the tempo or timed set. 60 secs, do as many as possible and hold when u reach failure 4 the rest of the remaining time. try with dips or close grip bench. hope this helps. thanks for the comment

Cool I'll try it, thanks a lot Tuan.
