  • No, that's not true. As long as you do the lifts properly all lifts benefit your muscles. At 16, you should definitely use this exercise as a good foundation exercise for you triceps.

    Remember the tricep muscle is bigger than the bicep muscle, so don't fall for the common myth to get big arms you need to do bicep exercises. You want big arms you work the triceps.

  • idk im not that strong but i read somewhere that it is unnecassary to have your hands inside the angle of your should joint on close grip in that you get no added tricep isolation and you produce an unnecassary strain on your wrist.....just my two cents

  • isn't for triceps thix exercise ?

  • yes it does, it's almost the same thing as close grip pushups

  • how heavy is it?? 35 lbs. each???

  • Well you dont really want it to be heavy that much cause It messes up ya wrist

  • in my personal opinion should be more effective negative 4 second positive 2 second !!!!! thats it , u going to get more pump and make your fibre muscle much more involved

  • smmforum, I agree with you...And that's 100% true

  • its elbows in, you feel triceps working harder when they're in. Similar to doing a push-up with elbows in.

  • heavy depends on the person.

    You should be doing 8-9 reps per set if you want to bulk up. with about 2min rests (most people say 1min but I think that's too short if you're bulking). You shouldn't be able to do more than 10 reps, if you can its too light.

  • can u do this on the smith machine aswell?
