  • Send your pay check man

  • if i dont have a bench can i use one of those big gym balls

  • I would not say it is the best solution as you need stability to be strong but I guess this is possible

  • sorry bu this is vince gironda style. Vince trained scott

  • For half of the exercise, yes. But the bar is From Scott. So, I went with the most famous of the 2

  • I always gauge the effectiveness of any given exercise on how much muscle soreness you experience the following day so when i do close grip benches or dips i experience no soreness yet when i do lying extensions or this ex. I'm sore for days, makes me feel the former are inferior exercises but do them anyway because they're supposed to be the basics. anyone else the same?

  • It is easy to induce soreness with stretching exercises. But this kind of soreness is not the most productive in terms of growth

  • The triceps tendons are going to be fried going that far back behind the head. I would bet my next paycheck a great deal of soreness he feels is connective tissue and inflammation, not muscle. The reason so many modern day bodybuilders rely on constant tension and what looks like partial reps by not locking out etc is to avoid injury and make sure the stress is through the muscle. Cutler and Coleman both train like that. I'm not just trying to act like a know it all.

  • @hardcorehouse LoL I was just being silly, because at the end he was humping the bench... For me using heavy (close grip) benches and dips is what gives me the right stimulation (soreness like some people call it) followed by isolation like triceps extension with cables, barbells or dumbells. So there no need to lecture me...and hey...NO NEGATIVITY!!

  • @Biggmofo LOL "looks awkward" tells me you have a closed mind to arguably the best triceps developer there is. Free your mind, lose your negativity and TRY it before judging.

  • This is a superior triceps developer, far better than close grip benches or dips for the long head which is the largest part of the tris. Compounds are often overhyped while exercises like this are virtually unknown. Compounds are good for the (side) medial/lateral aresa of the tris.

    The only things I'd suggest to do differently from what he's doing-cable should ideally be about 5 feet from the floor, which is not the case there. Also, elbows should be on the bench.

  • @Yaqidh Absolutely no need to have someone sitting on the bench-if you've ever done this exercise you'd know that most of your weight is on the bench where the elbows are touching.

  • @MrBravo1999 Entirely agree, soreness and where the soreness is are huge clues to effectiveness. Extensions are far superior to compounds for hitting the larger long head of the triceps. Compounds make sense for hitting the other areas-the lateral/medial (side) of the tris instead so they're a perfect complement. Myself I never liked close grip benches or dips, get a lot more on the lateral/medial heads using either a dip machine or doing bench dips after extensions for the long head.

  • It is a good exercise, it could be better with someone sitting on one end of the bench to stabilize the bench, and another partner pressing the middle of the back so you can remain still, that is how i do it.
