I experience a massive tension in my elbow when doing the exercise as shown. Has anybody else had that problem? Is there a better way for the joints to do the exercise?

[MrHamzaSuhail]

@TheFreshbum I have faced it too. I have asked other people as well and they say its kind of normal feeling pressure in your elbow joints while doing this but don't lift too heavy and you will be fine.

[TheFreshbum]

@MrHamzaSuhail for me the solution is to do other exercises for my triceps. Because I don't wanna lift less than I could.

[andrewyang1993]

@TheFreshbum It's perfectly fine to not fully extend your elbow to perform this exercise (in fact, I heard it's better for you due to less risk of tendon and ligament strains). If you have weak joints, then just extend your arms right before you feel the elbows lock.

[TheFreshbum]

@andrewyang1993 i feel the most tension when my arms are in the starting position. Pushing movements have always worked way better for my triceps than this exercises where you kinda pull.

[andrewyang1993]

@TheFreshbum I think the problem is that you have weak ligaments and/or tendons in your elbows. There are specific exercises to increase the strength and elasticity of them. I advise you to do these exercises daily (search them up, they're very lightweight) and do lighter loads on the actual workout.

[TheFreshbum]

@andrewyang1993 thanks a lot man, I should really try that out. I think my ligaments and tendons are a main factor that hold back my further growth...I had problems with my shoulders (I now know what I did wrong) --> tendons. I have pain in my left knee as we speak, but it's not from heavy squats (which funny enough don't hurt at all, even now) it's from running slowly...it's my tendons as well, so I think those exercises you mentioned are a great help for me...thanks buddy.

[SunshineandSand88]

Damn... You're hot.

[TeslaDRay]

dude use a big hexagonal dumbell, thats all i have and its hard to get an even grip around it.

[youtublaster]

i always hit my head while doing this and it hurts :/

[TMiller556]

@youtublaster pussy

[18iser]

these videos turn me on

[PatrickKane95]

Can`t do this because there are no bench like that in Finnish gym`s

[JCallsout]

ey scott! i know that this is a great exercise and i want to go heavier but my thumb isn't strong enough to hold it when i try to face it towards the mirror. hahahah

any tips?

[mrdstar93]

@scotthermanfitness howcome when i do this it feels like im also engaging my shoulders/deltoids? I do this standing btw

[Killer390]

@mrdstar93 Are your arms leaning back too far? Usually if that happens you're using too much weight. Also, it's possible that your shoulders/delts could be weaker than your triceps for now. It's hard to say. Check your form with a lighter weight and just work your way up.

[kingrock565]

i think his pec just winked at me..but all in all good vid

[bat108]

Thanks Scott always helpful and answer my questions bro.

[bobhils]

Scott how do you get your teeth so white do you use colgate or do you bleach them.

[IronishEagle]

Keep pressing 3

[hardrock4eva]

@dgmojojojo The key is in the name of the video...

[hardrock4eva]

@dgmojojojo No you are mistaken. It is a triceps isolation exercise. Thus working only triceps. You would not chose this exercise to develop your chest or anything else that isn't triceps for that matter.

[sexgod4340]

@hardrock4eva it would be isolation if he did it right he positioned his hands wrong so hes using some lats and shoulders, this should not be used as an instructional video

[P5ych00]

@dgmojojojo tricep u dummy

[DubnHouse]

keep your elbows tight?

[densnob1]

Weird form actually.

[nafism6969]

couldnt help but notice the little flick of the right chest followed by a wink.

.....

[BoooobMilk]

what cycles have u done

[slimfitboy]

that´s a realy good exercise! Not so "popular" but i love it. Realy nice serratus!

[hunkypit]

perfect. do more of these, and make it closeup to the armpit section

[Michael9271]

What are friends? Friends are people that you think are your friends But they really your enemies, with secret indentities and disguises, to hide they true colors So just when you think you close enough to be brothers they wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin What is money? Money is what makes a man act funny Money is the root of all evil Money'll make them same friends come back around swearing that they was always down

[SpitzB]

At first, I thought he was going to do 80 lbs with one arm

[volli56]

@SpitzB

you never know...

[IPawnt]

LOL at 1:35 his right pec bumps

[hurrykaneecko]

i didnt see no link... lol :S

[DevineRivondair]

Scott i bought some whey, and have only used it twice. Unfortunately it made me have symptoms such as not being able to sleep, heart racing, and burping problems. How can you drink whey when it doesn't seem safe? or is it just not for all people?

[prinnybaal1990]

@DevineRivondair in that case, why dont u take it in the morning?

[themondoshow]

@DevineRivondair wtf did u buy?> CRACK COCAINE? hahahaha those sound like nitric oxide symptoms

[evlmnkybtr]

@DevineRivondair Check for creatine. It might not say it straight out in the ingredients, but read EVERYTHING on the container

[norozedani]

@DevineRivondair that my friend, is gas. your stomach isnt yet used to the new intake.

[bobhils]

@DevineRivondair As Scotts a bit busy at the moment i will answer for him, stop being such a faggot and drink the fucking thing, as if a milk shakes gonna give you a heart attack or insomnia you big tart. If protein aint for you than you would be dead you nut case.

[BigDGE1]

I sometimes get shoulder pain when i do this excercise. Is their something i am doin wrong?

[BigNWide]

Scott, maybe it's time to do a video where you explain some of the posture terminology you regularly use, like "neutral spine", "neutral grip", etc. That way questions can be directed to yet another helpful Scott Herman video.

[2112mike]

do you think you could explain what part of the muscles (in this case, triceps) its working? because often times people put good videos up, but neglect the fact it works, say, the inner head or the outer you know? just a thought.

[kmsptz]

what do you mean neutral spine?

[WhiteyHS]

@kmsptz natural position of the spine, basically dont bend it awkwardly

[DrInfidel]

@kmsptz Don't bend your back, keep it straight and up right

[carlosdownhill]

Hey Scott I've got this Q' when you wanted to increase your body weight did you still got like the 6 pack or did you grew up all your muscles and then start getting lean..Ive got this problem of increasing my arms my chest shoulders and legs but when i change to small carb amounts get lean as hell and loose muscle I've won in 3 weeks just in 4 days....Do i need to eat too much so I am kind of big workout a lot and then try again or whaaat??

[CottnCandyRainbow]

@carlosdownhill when body builders want to get really buff they eat as much as they can and take in alot of calories and work out like crazy. Then soon before the show they start eating less and loose the fat around there muscles and then they look more toned and muscular. Even though they loose wait they still look bigger because you can see there muscles more.

[2112mike]

@carlosdownhill you need to eat a high protein diet when you're cutting. but if you arent a bodybuilder you shouldnt mess up your eating by having a lot of food, then cut it out. just eat lean and clean all year round.

[GamerzFun]

Havent he made a video about that exercise allready?

[sebchan777]

take off all the "&" from the link above if the grey toolbar is bothering you. thumbs up if it worked!

[wannabesupergirl]

@sebchan777 I dont understand... Can you give me a further explanation on this trick?

[topheramazz]

[njedinjedi]

Skullcrushers or cables are better

[xBushidoBrown]

[Pwndlolhaxbbq]

[IrishRhavin]

Bad Idea if you have bad shoulders?

[voicefulmarlin]

[EnglandMUCH]

[Djezza69]

cheers

[FingersHurtHD]

Fuuuuu... I'm going to try this tomorrow.

[JustCauseVids]

[xXH0M3SXx]

[ethanpetty09]

I hate overhead exercises. Scary.

[d1vinityy]

Scott acts like those 80's are nothing :/

[The180view]

Major problem scott, where do i send the scott and sean segment questions, is it, Questions@scotthermanfitness

[WonderWomanFan4life]

Scott are you wearing Socks? GREAT body. look at those muscles?? You rock Scott! Thats too heavy for me but I could do smaller weights.

[MehganFox]

ive been doing this wrong this whole time lol

[Zronxziq]

@MehganFox haha owned xD

[scarface760songz]

just watching u lift weights makes me want to lift right now ahha

thanx for all the videos scott :)

[Inferno0619]

i tried this before but soon realize that my tricep muscles are not as strong as the other one so this exercise won't do much for me, i find one arm overhead triceps extensions work better for me

[coolboy065]

ur so bad ass

[UnstableCore]

That is a really nice gym, I wish i lived around there.

[ctujj]

[spiralhelix88]

@geohpltc25 Um that is sooo retarded. Really? It got 34 thumbs up? Christ hanging on a cross......

[MultiWingnut]

Scott, what happens if I don't keep the dumbbell facing forward?

[sanleunam]

scott what difference it makes if you do it seated or in a stand up posicion ?

[im4everbest]

@sanleunam theres less chance of injury if you do it seated, you might bend and injure your back if you do it standing

[sanleunam]

@im4everbest ohhhh that explains why my back hurts when i do it standing XD....oh oh thanks.....

[kangarooo25]

Thanks alot for this scott i will try it tommorow! wish me luck

[makinbacon254]

[CollegeLoheart]
