[ileet333]

god shut up already

[ZenMaster93]

wow man this gym looks fuckin awesome !

[gsboss]

i dont want to be the dick who points out everything wrong with a workout, but keep your damn elbows in. i know there is always a flaw to everything but something as basic as that shouldnt be happening

[caldwell0727]

@gsboss idk if you noticed or not but that dude is pretty big im sure hes been doing something right, im thinking your probly not half that dudes size

[xebarry]

That's a killer for tripceps

[luisreyes917]

whats the difference between french press and skull crushers?

[Sjones675]

Don't listen to the rude comments Kurt. Those people are just jealous and insecure. Your an awesome bodybuilder, nice work!

[MJBDC07]

i always thought these were called skull crushers

[LAKEZHOW]

holy shit nice fuckin job...how long did it take you to get motivation to get big and focus on working out?

[germanharp]

Nice Gym! And keep up the hard work. It is paying off.

[sweetsoullover]

cleannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Orangeshirt211]

haha this guys screams.

[skateboardsteve409]

are you supposed to lock you joints on any excersize it fucks ups ur joints my induction trainer said to not do it , i been doing gym for bout 3 months n a bit, in the middle of porky and begining toning.

[tcg155]

Never lock your joint in any excercise, then you are resting the muscles that you are training.

Resting is what you do BETWEEN sets, not IN the sets.

[PurplePlayer99]

So when you do them incline as shown above, you don't have to worry about having your elbows in for good form? (where on the flat bench you do have your elbows in )

[mompood]

Is this on an incline bench? I will have to try these.

[stickynotepa]

i did this excerise three days ago, is it healthy for your triceps to still be aching?

[ryuujinin1987]

Yes It did that for me too when I first starting doing them.

Perhaps one of the three heads of the triceps is "underdeveloped" and is aching when it is finally used in an exercise. Mine ached for 2-3 days when I first tried the Skullcrusher.

[skateboardsteve409]

hey if your not aching after a workout does that mean i need more weight , or did it too quick, and i dont rush my sets or reps. , im still learning , thanks for your time

[Lavastine]

No, in fact, after the fist couple weeks or a routine you shouldnt end up sore at all(unless you add in new exercises). Google delayed onset muscle soreness.

[tcg155]

It hurts the most after 2 days. It hurts less when you have done the exercise a couple of times. I change my scheme when I have had them for about 2-3months. When I'm training new excerices my muscles get real sore after training the first weeks. :)

[mqzmcq13]

skull crushers and the french press are basically the same thing right?

[mailmepizza]

skull crushers are done lying down and the bar is brought down to the forehead and back up. French press can be done at any angle (standing up all the way to lying on a decline bench) and the bar is brought behind the head as in the video.

[skateboardsteve409]

perfect , im glad someone actually explained the difference between them, cheers

[rr005a7165]

is it a good idea to lock you arms at the top of the lift?

[bolts512]

on lower reps i usually do, but for higher reps I don't quite lock them out so that there is constant tension. but then again its all personal preference.

[marxistsoldier]

should always be constant tension

[bolts512]

yeah, and locking out your elbows takes tension off the muscle right?

[runeseth23290]

gawd my triceps are still soar 2 days after doin this.....nice!

[mailmepizza]

nice work good form... gotta be careful with the grunting though you might get your gym membership revoked LOL which would be sad because you look like one of the few serious people that frequents a commercial gym. Those damn pencil necks and grannys complaining about grunting because they've never lifted heavy weight themselves

[SanitySource]

for all you people who have never tried this , this is HARDD

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

Indeed, I can only do 95lb(45lb bar with 25lb plates). I believe Marius pudzinowski did 150lb or so.

[SanitySource]

ive never really tested how much i can do. im new to french press though, usually i do the cable tricep pulldown, but i guess its time i switch that up. Dont wanna plateau

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

I was like that, but I've decided I want stronger triceps, because they figure highly in a punch.

[agergaarden]

Is it best to sit up or lay down on the bench? :D

[animal1622]

I don't think one is better than another, it's just a variation of the same exercise. Sometimes I do them flat, incline, upright or even decline. I try to mix it up

[agergaarden]

okay, thx dude ;D

[Malossi000]

fake

[leahcimrac]

lol thats funny.

[redbull90]

ROOOAARRRRR

pathetic

[xmane22]

you have obviously never trained with heavy weight.

[TheAmazingTurd]

What's the difference between this and skull crushers? they look pretty much the same..

[ratfaty]

yes it is

[YouAteMyChicken]

skull crushers and usually lying, incline, decline or flat, lowering the bar towards your forehead, french press is standing or seated, lowering the bar behind your head.

[TheAmazingTurd]

Thanks.

[qprmanzz]

very nice, did my first ever set of french press's today, and i did 4.6kg and it worked me so i realise how hard they are to do :P

[nwiwrestler]

wow impressive,,not

[ciutacu]

american humour sucks !

[Markohoppis]

nwiwrestler is the traditional YouTuber, a rude unintelligent ruffian that eats Mcdonald's, listens to rap, and thinks he is the leading authority on everything; therefore criticizing everything and everyone.

Did I also mention that they generally can't spell, and all their counterpoints in arguments consist of "fuk U!" Sometimes they are terribly racists and homophobic, and they love the sound of a fart noise - that is "sohh funy....;;'"

Idiocracy is a movie about YouTubers just like him.

[ciutacu]

haha!

[TrrOtaku]

@Markohoppis fuk U you queer your comments wel shit init  /joke

[BlueBlazer89]

@Markohoppis whats wrong with rap ? whats wrong with mcdonalds ?

[ciutacu]

it's funny sometimes, but this NOT joke is to simple, like the rednecks humour!

[L1canthrope]
