How To: Dumbbell Tricep Press

[MrCranberry777]

bottom position close grip[12-16 inches],bench in the power rack with pins set right above the chest-5x5 with a 3 second pause at the bottom of each rep.simple,brutal,effective.

[musicaws2]

or as scooby would call it, the chicken press :) just your wrists are at a really dumb angle

[lglex15]

What muscle is he training whit that ?

[xMiKKELMADSENx]

@lglex15 Triceps

[FiyahArmz36]

In training there is only safe, dangerous, effective and unaffective ... this is Dangerous.. if you have only been lifting for under a year.. DO NOT do this!

[david21vidal]

YEP GOOD EXERCISE, BUT NOT FOR PUSSYS

[PCMarxist]

hes high

[TheSportsman131]

do at your own risk

[kupfiXbutter]

1:23 = D

faaat grin

[jwise2345]

After 5 seconds of just hearing that voice, i knew it was going to be a shitty workout.

[parmoliver123]

@jwise2345 ahaha and there's no one else in the gym so why the fk is this dude basically yelling

[Knavey]

The only problem I see is with his elbows dropping below the bench, which forces him to press from a significant deficit. If he could keep his upper back tight and belly-up to the bar, or bells in this case, he'd be laughing. Cool movement, though. Very Anthony Clark'esque.

[eld3rr]

00:16 and nobody is sleeping in front of the screen anymore

[Jetssgo]

THE HODGE TWINS WOULD SAY........"HE GON SNAP SOME SHIT UP"

[PynkWalkr]

@Jetssgo bought himself a one-way ticket to snapcity

[DrTynanol]

TTSCHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHT

[DivineCypher]

i just tried this with an ez curl bar and the burn was damn near instantaneous. in fact nothing i've tried has made my triceps burn as fast or as intensely. nothing has even come close, even using twice the weight.

[TheNewAlias]

scott is an idiot

[danikatheresaholmes]

has a bad case of crazy eyes in this one :P jj



[pell557]

thats actually a good idea thanks

[NirvanA3361]

Man are you Natural  ?

[ZboneWalker]

@NirvanA3361 he looks like natural

[ttbmx23]

@NirvanA3361 he IS natural

[ftbtef]

shhhhccchooooooo....CHHHHHHHT

[lukealandrummond]

You do know this works the upper chest....just saying...this is better then incline

[IrishRhavin]

@lukealandrummond Yea I seen AthleanX show this for that instead

[onlytwothings]

totally agree with comment by sexylitthug77, this exercise is rubbish. SH thinks he is king by showing all these stupid adaptions when you should be sticking with what works...and for triceps its close grip press, skull crushers, kick backs and overhead raises.

[h2dude69]

@onlytwothings

You forgot Dips

[DominoEffect2528]

I like this... I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!!! Dam, scott just talk to me, I'll still understand

[pataka81]

who is the "scott" in the link at the center of video

[twinmuscleadvises1]

Nice excrecise, I shall try it tomorrow on my chest, shoulders and triceps day! NICE IDEA!

[jab307]

This guy always gets louder and more enthusiastic at tHE END

[Naoufalaba]

Pub : Say Tsshhh when you're training !! that give you more power !!! 

[kevincc13]

My elbows crack when I do this.... what can I do?

[OurBestMusicChannel]

@kevincc13

fuck your ego and lower the weight

[kevincc13]

@OurBestMusicChannel Lol wtf? I can lift the weight just fine

[OurBestMusicChannel]

@kevincc13

it doesn't matter, the only reason it is cracknig your elbow it's because the joint is taking part of the job since the muscles alone won't work. Most people claim to be able to use big weights on bicep curls for example but they keep using other muscles to help the small one and the back joints, when they lower the weight and keep everything super-still while just activating the right muscles the muscle grow better and the joints don't hurt

[kevincc13]

@OurBestMusicChannel My joints crack when I do push ups too, yet I have been doing push ups for 3 years. I know I'm not over loading because I've stuck with this weight for the past 3 months.

[genericnme]

Hi Scott,

just wondering why are you using a kind of supination grip with this exercices ?

I mean a neutral grip would be better idea ...

[parikjan]

Great, now I don't know the response to bulgeand4 -___-

[iFearN0thing]

@parikjan right!

[TejasRCpilot]

i must be doing it wrong... it made my shoulders burn

[joshwakbak3]

Do you have to fully extend your elbows in this exercise or elbows soft on extension?

[ovidiu90]

i always did this for the shoulders. Is it wrong?

[Enanurri]

@ovidiu90 yes.

[krazmex09]

WHATS WITH YOU AND SCREAMING???

[AndyHarglesis]

I'll kick this guy's ass easily. He's nothing. :P

[tricepsish]

@AndyHarglesis he is not a fighter though

[volatilecolon]

@AndyHarglesis You cant kick anyone's ass because you're a friendless faggot virgin paraplegic sitting in a dark basement jerking off to facebook photos of 14 year old girls.

[chelseamatt]

??? I'm a PT - that isn't a tricep extension at all....

[rocketman4659]

dumbbell tricep press = dumbbell bench press

[MrEstk]

is there such thing as workout that will stuck my growth plz help iam 17 and i want to get taller but i want workout hard plz help

[19may0001]

@MrEstk no there isnt, if shortness runs in your family then yes the chance is yes but weight training wont. your 17 and you want to get taller, intake alot of calcium everyday dont miss a day without calcium, your growth plates are still OPEN at your age, the more calcium you get in you, the bigger and stronger the bones will become specialy at your age while you have your growth plates open, growth pates shut at the age of 25 ish

[varztazzz]

u are real cloun mate.

u are skinny. I bet u are many years with bodybuilding cuz u think u know much.

i think u dont know anything about it. U now why?

Cuz u are still skinny as hell. Doing stupid workouts, damn many excercises per one muscle group.. for biceps, triceps... who the fuck is doing 4-5 exercises for these little muscle groups?

man, u are natural, so dont do that shit in gym.. thats why u are still small in size. U are making fucking overtrainings.

[ranzo80]

@varztazzz you have no fucking idea what you are talking about do you?

Any fucking bodybuilder,trainer what ever would agree on doing 4-5 exercises per muscle group. I'll bet you've never ever worked out before in your life. Get some facts straight before you call anybody a ''cloun'', learn some english you ''clown'' before you start flaming somebody, internet gangster.

[MrLmfao1989]

@varztazzz I agree with what you're saying about his workouts. But he is not a Bodybuilder that's why he's skinny i think he is a fitness model of some sort. But i do agree with you on his routines he is teaching. Far too much for people who actually want to build muscle and that is the type of audience he is attracting.

[sexylilthug77]

people dont do this. ur gunna snap your wrist or drop the weight on yourself. ur never gunna be able to go heavy enough to build bigger triceps with this coz ur gunna snap ur wrist coz its not a natural movement. close grip, skull crushers, kick backs all better than this

[element509]

@sexylilthug77 You are an ignorant fool. Skull Crushers are more non-natural, they put so much stress on you're elbows, you can mess them up. Appearently you do not know anything about lifting so shut up and leave.

[sexylilthug77]

@element509 apparently i do, if u think you can build muscle with this u are a fool. keep your comments to urself little man, scott herman is skinny and doesnt go heavy, bodybuilders wanna go heavy so do not do this shitty exercise

[element509]

@sexylilthug77 Appearently you dont know where you are. This is a fitness channel, hence ScottHermanFITNESS. This isnt a bodybuilding channel. Maybe you should learn to read. Also for the record, if you want to do bodybuilding you would know what exercises to do. As I said before this is a fitness channel and not ONLY bodybuilding. So how about YOU keep YOU'RE comments to yourself in the first place, then no one else will comment back.

[Lrdvltr]

@sexylilthug77 The trolls must be hungry today.

[Warixify]

@sexylilthug77 he´s just showing the exercise and he don´t tell you that you need to do it gdm

[2112mike]

@sexylilthug77 lol and a skull crusher or a kickback is a natural movement?? you cant go heavy on tricep kickbacks either..this movement is fine.

[sensall100]

@sexylilthug77 its completely fine on the wrist, its just a different type of dumbell press, even scooby recommends it x

[1pcGAMER4ever1]

@sexylilthug77 ok.. well.. now tell me, why haven't SCOTT snapped his wrist?

[waw1412s]

@sexylilthug77 first of all you wouldnt try the weight this guy is doing cause not as big/strong as this guy you have to start of low weight like around 20-40 lbs

[iamLionman]

@sexylilthug77 so all lower body punches in boxing arnt natural and will break your wrist? This is a great exercise.

[chino147]

@sexylilthug77 actually it works if you do it the way it is explained... u are just jealous

[bradleyii]

@sexylilthug77 sounds like someone snapped their wrist and dropped the weight on their stomach

[CASSINOx]

@sexylilthug77 you won't drop it on your face if your experienced and your stabilizer muscles are in check, but yeah still, thats an awkward position for your wrist and there 10 other workouts you can do lol

[fearthbeard13]

This work more upper chest then tricep, also benching just below the chest takes all the strain of the shoulders , its great exersize but ti works more chest then tri's

[nickisbeast1414]

this also works a little chest right?

[christmasman428]

Love this excercise!!

[bigdaddy71355]

great idea! i never really liked close-grip bench & this dumbbell press is much better biomechanically. and, always love the awesome smile at the end! :)

[ripley664]

Saludos hi im a 47 year old that needs to build some muscle started watching your videos and im seeing some results but very slow i get pumpted up but it seem that after i cool down it goes away how long before they stay or is it that i have to work out all the time now ok bye ripley

[PROUDxXxHermanite01]

@ripley664 if your talking about your muscles getting pumped when you work out , and you wanna keep it that way all day long.... Then i would suggest taking creatine, when you go off it, ur muscles will get a bit smaller, but WHILE your on it, you will have a 24/7 pump.... other option is just to workout everyday until your muscles look how u want em to!

[dmitrybachinsky]

Great! Please, more dumbbell workouts!!!

[wowknoob]

so..., does this also work the chest

[jazzyj12399]

are you always shirtless cause if so im gonna start going to your gym

[jazzyj12399]

are you always shirtless cause i need to go to that gym

[STMS6969]

[xRaynFirex]

@henry6988 Hehe you saved me the hassle of looking xD

[ShaxAMV]

@henry6988 Page 15? Are you on a phone or something?

[mezamax93]

scott was going light weight.

[ThaGenius101]

Great exercise but very childish intro.

[dsd137]

The smile at the end is the pinnacle of cheese! In a good way tho :)

[nelsonchris99]

gonna try, sweet!

[gebruikr]

can I do these on the floor?

[Orgendorfer]

when you work out almost everyday it becomes sort of an automated routine, so I love to watch your videos to get reminded of the (important) details you tend to forget/neglecy after a while.

but this exercixe I didn't even know, can't wait to try it out.

thanks and keep the good stuff coming!!!!!

[laxinthe303]

Scott I like your videos, but this is a chest exercise. I could easily do this exercise with a heavier weight, but isolating my triceps, there is no way I could use a heavy weight.

The guy who said try skullcrushers is right, THAT is a tricep workout.

[Noc4ball]

@laxinthe303

The bench press is naturally a compound movement. Notice his grip and how he keeps his elbows close to the body; this puts more emphasis on the triceps.

[laxinthe303]

@Noc4ball Look at how engaged his pectorals are while he's doing this. While the closer grip may put MORE emphasis on the tri's than wide grip does, this is no more a tricep press than a close grip benchpress is a tricep isolating exercise.

[Noc4ball]

@laxinthe303

I understand that. That's why I called it a compound exercise. Obviously the chest is going to be engaged during the movement. And I don't think anyone ever considred the close-grip bench press to be a tricep isolating movement :/ Both movements recruit the chest still. In fact, that's what Scott was aiming for. He wanted to mimic the close-grip bench press with dumbbells and a slight variation in the grip. 

[TylersFitness25]

tryed this today love it !!!

[muscleman351]

how come i feel this more in my chest than triceps?? Am I doing it right or is it supposed to be like that.

[Zen4Zorba]

@muscleman351 "Keep your hands aligned with your belly button"

Keeping that in mind, try the exercise again and you should feel your triceps

[muscleman351]

@Zen4Zorba yeah i guess I didn't have my arms aligned up correctly. I felt it in my triceps this time. Thanks.

[Estovers]

I try it today, and it only work on my pec :( !

[Zen4Zorba]

@Estovers "Keep your hands aligned with your belly button"

Keeping that in mind, try the exercise again and you should feel your triceps

[thatsmisterrobert2u]

You're beautiful, Scott. You always make me smile.

[adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

great tricep exercise if you only have dumbbells at home! :D

[irongame2]

Publish your BOOK, Scott! Get your DVD done!

[bendesrochers123]

I literally woke up this morning and thought "I'm doing triceps today, i need a new workout for my routine"... I got on youtube. for my SHF weekly update, and there it was.. Scott reads my mind lol!!

[FoGGeRdk]

I shit my pants every time any of these vids start.. he's a screamer!!

[osky1416]

This was good but it is a little harder.

[sukh5252]

I started doing the CHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT everytime i lift weights now - and im gettign huge.

Trust me guys , you gotta do the weird noise when you lift to see gains.

[Dihan22]

oh man!! now I have to find what bulgeland4 said!!

[Rosky12]

I can't believe I'm doing 1/6th weight of you, you could kill me in 6 seconds

[JeremyJermoJerm]

doesn't this work the low section of your chest as well?

[bornathlete1]

@JeremyJermoJerm If by lower you mean the sternal head, then yes. But you can't differentiate beyond that.

[guntfucker]

Lol what did the bulgeland4 guy say?

[RespectForTheNigga]

Scott, Im 15 years old and im bodybuilding, i wanna compete for Mr. Delhi next year so i want big muscles, what supplement should i take?

[AsPinkAsAPanther]

this is just great! i have only been lifting weights for about 2-3 month now so i have a lot to learn. glad i found this channel!

[harbeh]

Thanks! i've been looking for new workouts for my triceps

[killajoy714]

Going to try this soon! Great video!

[cozter911]

[EurekaWrestler]

SCOTT I SAW U MUSCLE BODY magazineTODAY NICE JOB

[anores12345]

Do like monkeys or something???

[JFM9308]

I've never seen this exercise performed before, so how effective is it and would you consider it a genuine alternative to the close grip bench press or weighted triceps dip?

[psychoaim]

laughing sooooo hard at scott's response to bulgeland4 wow that made my day

[SteelxInferno88]

TTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[10Dante4]

[Zhevas1125]

hey man let me tell you that here in cancun,mexico many guys that are doing exercise and working out at gyms follow you and do your exercises and your rutines and that idea to colaborate whit scooby1961 its a GREAT IDEA i love you both ...take care man and i hope you still doing this amazing videos (Y) !!

[Theshofumiah1]

most of his videos are good but he doesnt mention which muscle each diffrent exercise targets! so annoying, for the beginners!

[aznpwnerp]

@Theshofumiah1

It says triceps in the title lol.

[Theshofumiah1]

@aznpwnerp proberbly the first video, after people complaining.

[aznpwnerp]

@Theshofumiah1

Really? I'm pretty sure he explains what it works in the videos that I've seen. And if not you can always google it or ask in the comments. No worries.

[Theshofumiah1]

@aznpwnerp cool

[S0NICM0US3]

do you think you have reached your genetic potential scott? i will try this exercise next time im doing arms btw

[harryharryharold]

i never knew an exercise the work the triceps from the reverse grip position and now i do cheers mate

[javierdiaz07]

this works the chest more triceps. I guess its a good shake up to your regular chest press. try doing these in an incline ;)

[dbizzle7353]

@javierdiaz07 It's a press so it will naturally engage the chest. I feel them a lot in my triceps though. Maybe you are going too heavy? It's the same thing with a close grip bench. If you go too heavy or don't get the form right it just becomes a standard press. I'm not hating but just because you disagree doesn't make it wrong.

[ScottHermanFitness]

@javierdiaz07 This hits the triceps more... hence the title

[jcsj6776]

Thank Scott. Just tried it out yesterday. I started out at comfortable weight to get good form first. It's a good tricep workout. Ty

[ScottHermanFitness]

@jcsj6776 you are very welcome my friend! Glad you like it!

[Skokiii]

looks like a shoulder exercise

[ScottHermanFitness]

@Skokiii looks like you should try it before you comment ;)

[Skokiii]

@ScottHermanFitness

[BlowingThinking]

Thank you so much!

[mrblackcat501]

@ScottHermanFitness.hi scott.i think you have a beautiful body.do you workout every day?

[upgrad3z]

not tried this workout yet, you should try skullcrushers for triceps ;)

[ScottHermanFitness]

@upgrad3z one of y favorite exercises!!

[nbpscf]

@upgrad3z not sure if your being sarcastic but if you not dont you think he would have by now haha its one of the staple exercises for triceps

[mirrorseye]

nice ,. thanks!!

[luvufosho]

Could you please wear tighter shorts next time?

[jasongohkx]

Hey Scott, I think I'm not doing this right. My elbow hurts every time I push. Happens when I do tricep overhead extensions and push ups too.

[7ZoXaN7]

@jasongohkx Try to worm up your muscles 1st.. or try it with less weight

[feilou1]

Please post ABS workout videos. Thanks.

[FlackyyWho]

[MattiAndSelen]

[smokinmantis]
