Just started but hoping to see tibialis anterior high on the list!

What are your thoughts of doing JM Press or any other tricep exercises with hammer grip? Have you tried it and do you think it works the triceps differently compared to standard grip?

He is now promoting carnivore diet🤦🤦

Great video! I’ve always been a variety fan myself but everything has its place. I’m actually specializing in rope press-downs and preachers curls 2x a week for the first time this year (along with a bunch of other arm work), excited to see how it goes! I love variety when it comes to arms because the interest factor helps make doing more volume enjoyable

Where do you think you would be If you specialized in reverse grip preacher curl instead of the normal palms up version that you've done ... 18 inch forearms ?

Joints take less beating

How were you so strong so young?

Genetics may have something to do with it. Some people try to run fast, work hard at it, and they never really run that fast. Others try to run fast and bam, with not as much work they have a natural ability for speed. So they put more work into it as they are motivated by the results they are already getting and bam, they get big improvements. Lots of people work hard on goals and dreams, doesn’t mean they make them happen. Doesn’t work that way. That’s the reality of life no one wants to admit, they want to blow the “you can be whatever you want” smoke up your butt. Good ole American marketing bs.

What kind of pants is he wearing?

He's 100% a TR0LL channel. He told me that a 320 lbs linebacker would beat a D1 sprinter, at 400m no less.

Man drop the mf arm specialist program

What are your thoughts on the idea that having two or three lifts is better than one? Wasn't there a study that showed greater quad hypertrophy to a group that did back squats, leg press and leg extensions, compared to a second group that did back squats only? Of course, I like the main idea of the video here, keeping a lift in the program and sticking with it is so important. But what about multiple exercises?

I do a upper lower with 4 uppers and a lower. The first two uppers are a chest and back and arm days and the second two are full uppers. I got a leg day between both ful, uppers and rest days before and after the chest and back and arm day s

Moggggggged

Have you seen the thread about GVS on nattyorjuice subreddit posted last week? They saying hypertrophy literally stops as a natty after 2-3 years in the gym and only strength progresses, the blackpilling is insane.

I just want to say every time his earbud falls out a chuckle so hard! #earbud didn’t fall out… wasn’t a hard set

Angled vs vertical smith machine? Trying to decide which one to buy for home gym, let me know thoughts

Bro sumo doesn't count don't you know.

Can your physique be achieved without taking creatine?

No thank you sir!!! I made more then enough gains with my shake weights!!!

Who are your peers? Your peers are natural bodybuilders on stage. Go do it.

The good thing with specializing on lifts like preacher curls for biceps is that is very stable , hard to cheat and the bicep is the only muscle working here , if you get stronger with same form , tempo and rep range your bicep will be bigger, with bench however is mostly a gamble on how much your front delt , chest and triceps share the intensity and mostly never will strength on bench correlate with tricep size, same for squats , you might get stronger because of quads or glutes and i dont see the reason to roll the dice on which muscle will grow, i will do a hack squat if i want quads or hip thrust if i want glutes, or i can do some leg extensions after barbell squats if i want to hit quads specifically, i never understood the " get big bench for triceps and big chin up for biceps" mentality, i never heard someone tell me to just do bench and no overhead press and lateral raises if i want big delts ( which gets hit way more then triceps do on the bench by the way ). EDIT : I think the reason is because there is a big conspiracy theory by the spaghetti factories to keep peoples arms small in order for people to advertise their product with their tiny arms.

Guillotine press?

thank you for sharing !

Dips also a great lift. My triceps and chest never been more full than when I push them

I’ve been grinding preacher curls for almost one year now and I just got over a pretty long plateau with them. I’ll be keeping them in my program for a while, I’ve seen great bicep growth.

Perfectioning technique IS progressive overload. Period. In the long run you can not progress with load or reps, or sets, but you still can focus on your movement - aka technique AND mind-muscle connession to keep it simple. Even shortening your recovery time lapse IS a form of progressive overload. People who are obsessed with 'muscle growth' forget that the natural peak for muscle is on 24 FFMI (or 23 or 25, genetic determined), and is not infinite. The more you are near by your peak of genetic predetermined muscle growth, the slower the progress will be.

Here's what you get from specializing in a lift: - you'll get good at this lift - Plateaus - Imbalances - Overuse injuries because you repeatedly load the same structures over and over and over again Here's what you get from switching exercises every few months: - you'll become a better allround athlete - often times a lack of exercise variety is holding you back. Example: rows to get better at pull-ups - you can avoid plateaus - less chance of developping imbalances - less chance of overuse injuries

This is cool. I'm currently working out right now, and I'm 24 years old. working on trying to build up muscle. This is a good calculator to know. So you can figure it out so you know. how much your max muscle gain potential will be.

I'm lifter 2 by strong will and out of fear I might be leaving gains on the table, if I switched too early. The question I have is about overuse. I'm pretty sure that pull ups is what have me tendinitis. What is your take on preventing that from happening when staying with a lift for a good while?

What brand is that EZ bar? It’s gorgeous ☺️.

Does anyone else get bruising on their lower pec from the preacher bench?

I’m currently at 80lbs X 12 reps on preachers with 16.5 inch arms (pumped) so I’m excited to see if I can get to 17s once I’m repping 100-110 for 12.

Is your preacher curl machine a bit more horizontal than the ones you see at the gym? Looks that way

Great video I had the same vanswe the weld broke but it worked great for 4 years . I would buy xmark dip station 11 gauge steel heavy duty real good I think its like 115 bucks . I'm building a two car garage gym . Great gym tour bro looks greats.

Its pointless because you dont know where you fall on the genetic bell curve. If you're on the low end you will feel inadequate comparing yourself to others. If youre on the higher end you will (mistakenly) come to think you are doing better than others due to your own hard work/smarts. Either person kay or may not be "doing things right" but you wouldnt know based on comparing yourself to someone else. Thus you should only compare to yourself yesterday, as its the only fair comparison to know if youre improving or not. Note that "comparing yourself to others" and "looking to others as a a source of motivation" are two different things.

yepp. But even guys who recognise this on preacher curl vs incline curl debete, many of them forget the exact same issue when it comes to tricep exercises. It is wird to me. And they say overhead extensions are lenghened biased. Whaaaat? They are not. (it is not you, you know this) Good channel btw!

Instructions followed about commitment: Now I’m married with a child on the way.

Love this video ! I’m doing the exact same thing with the smith JM press. Currently I’m at 150lb for 3x10. I’ll come back to this comment in 6 months and update my measurements (17inch arms now lean)

Mirin the fat distribution...last winter bulked up 5kg and it went right to my belly fat, literally 0,0cm to my arms lol

That’s it, I’m starting a 7x a week preacher curl split

I think it's less hypertrophy versus strength training and more compound exercises versus excessive accessory exercises. You can do hypertrophy training with the same compound exercises used by strength lifters. Maybe it's just beginners, but many people go to the gym doing HIT, cardio, or using machines that don't stimulate the muscles enough to spur growth. I learned the big lifts from strength coaches: squats, deadlifts, bechpress, etc. I experienced the most growth when I adapted these compound movements for hypertrophy training by increasing reps per set and lowering weights.

How many times per week do you program preacher curls?

My forearms really hurt especially when I'm doing preacher curl.

Hey Basement bodybuilding I’m doing my first ever cut I’m probably around 17-18 Percent bodyfat I’ve lost around 6 pounds of weight I’m at 150.8 I look a lot smaller because I’ve lost a lot of glycogen from my muscles but my question is When will my body start using it’s stored fat for energy My face is starting to look less puffy but I still have some love handles I want to get rid of

Your best video yet for a lot of people, hope this blows up.

Struggled with this for a long time. Kept switching bicep exercises to find the perfect one and never got good at any of them. I got noticeable gains only after I decided to lock in on a single movement. For me, it's the spider curl. Great video!
