Scott. All I can say is LOL. Hilarious because it's true and there's much humour in the truth. I must admit this is one of my most favorite videos you've posted. And I have to admit that I have been guilty of some of this in the past so I guess I have to laugh at myself too. I guess the two inch leg press does have one benefit....it allows you to get caught up on those phone messages...haha. You prolly should have given a credit at the end for the little man icon that kept popping up at the lower left corner of the screen..hilarious.

Scott: This exercise may be minimizing your gains. Everyone in the comment section: wElL jEfF dOeS iT

[@aknazer]

Scott called them bad/crazy exercises. Jeff not only does some of them but will explain WHY and just what it's targeting (when done with proper form). Hence people pointing out that a few of these exercises have valid use. I mean when talking about that behind-the-knees thing he ends up calling ALL Triceps Kickbacks useless which is flat out false. He can prefer other exercises, but that doesn't make the Kickbacks useless.

[@johnwig285]

Its funny how u seem to kind of deny that some of these exercises DO have benefits in them. Just because something looks abnormal, doesnt negate their usefulness. Sure, some ppl are entrenched with bad form when it comes to tricep pushdowns thinking that by doing that they are isolating their chest, but for those who are knowledgeable when doing it, what was demonstrated incorporates ur chest into the exercise. So ntg wrong with that.

[@abelardoruiz5544]

I have never seenJeff doibg any of this bullshit.m

[@donnn-sg4mk]

@@abelardoruiz5544 he has def done number 6 the behind the back triceps... And he has def done the 21s for biceps....

[@onurbole7921]

Remember Jeff also has many followers training at home with a set of adjustable dumbbells and a bench. Those people need kickbacks for getting full contraction of the triceps behind the body. Dips do that to a certain extent too, but he tries to provide their fans with a wide variety of exercises, and offers tweaks to them to make them more effective and safe instead of saying "just use cables" and eliminating them from his routines. Hell, he even recently added the old school broomstick twists into his routine. Elimination of an exercise proves a trainer's laziness or lack of knowledge. How many exercises has Jeff told his followers to avoid? Upright rows, leg extensions, sissy squats, I can't think of many. And instead of these, he offered many alternatives that don't require much equipment.

[@tbjas]

Hmm, Jeff from Athlean-x does 21's but a little bit different. Whatever Jeff says is true, because Jeff is God.

[@joacogaray]

[@CapitolTubeArmory]

[@ferrari4968]

Jeff also advocates for the behind the knee extension bc you get a full contraction with the elbow behind the midline of the body

[@iamstateofbeing7330]

Yeah I was about to comment that some of these exercises are pretty good if you do it a little differently. I go to Jeff for all of my weightlifting info and rarely listen to other people.

Worst one: *smith press with safety clips on each side* 😭😭😂

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Haha that is a good one. Or safety clips on the leg press!

[@aaron_raney940]

That can be a legitimate exercise in both press and squat if you do it right. Its the smith machine equivalent of a pin press or pin squat which helps build power at the bottom of the movement which over time translates to bigger lifts.

Similar to fake-out leg press, I have seen a guy do several working sets of squats with 225, then load it up to 275 as though the 225 sets were just warm-up, then walk away never to return. The idea I guess being that whoever sees the 275 left on the bar will assume he was using it. (In addition to ego not-actually-lifting, this is next-level not putting your weights away.)

1:04 Jackhammer pushdowns aren't for triceps, they're for the lower chest if you do them right. Jeff Cavaliere/Athlean-X has a good video that covers proper technique.

[@CrazycruxGaming]

Yeah lol i have never once thought it was about the triceps. Im relatively new to this exercise, but as far as i can tell, they work the lower chest best if you push out, down, and away from your chest.

[@recoverycenter6457]

1) barbell seated curl - allows you to isolate bicep short head with slow eccentric movements going down. Not targeting the long head of bicep so ROM does not matter in this exercise. 2) That movement is not a triceps push down. Its a chest exercise that targets the lower chest. 3) This allows you to get more stability and working out the core more. As long they are switching each other so they don't develop muscle imbalance Its something that could be helpful to athletes ( I like doing this with dumbbells single arm press ) 4) Similar to floor cable pull down. ( This is a good exercise target the latz with good form ) 5) as long they added lateral, lower and middle abs exercise for ROM This exercise could help with Progress over load. ( just like when you see someone dead lifting a 1 RM. ) 6) Targets the Triceps Nothing wrong with it, as long you keep your chest up and getting full ROM. ( you should've kept your chest up in this video for that exercise you were doing this wrong. ) Ive seen this done before in other gyms 7) Agree 8) This type of exercise is good for people with ACL, PCL tears trying to recover. its also good help with people with nuro development from lower spain to the lower legs with weight R. 9) 21 Bicep curl - allows blood flow and recovery in the muscle. Again like number 1 - it targets the short head and then it targets the long head with over load. 10) agree, This is something that cause knee problems. 11) If he was pressing on the weight ( it would be call Isometric leg press ) Personality I have to say you're making fun of people doing real exercises, I think you should do more research M.S Human performances

of all the exercises demonstrated, the ones recommended by AthleanX arent retarded. just because it looks abnormal from the standard form doesnt negate its usefulness. obviously shit like benching with imbalanced weight is stupid but that isnt even by him. but doing seated barbell curl is like doing 21s, just because someone does it seating down instead of the usual standing up 21s scott was quick to jump to conclusion that it is useless. the pushdown too was for chest, it has been specifically mentioned to be used as a movement that involves both ur chest and triceps hence elbow flaring.

[@DANGJOS]

@Crow At least Jeff actually does *detailed explanations* as to why a workout is good or bad, instead of just claiming they're useless without explanation, as Scott did a few times here.

[@relaxingmusicandvideos7076]

[@magnusemeritus]

The leg press doesn't matter. The squat does. The squat matters more than any other movement for overall strength and size.

[@ericrobbins6418]

I'd say deadlift is first then squat man

[@ericrobbins6418]

For OVERALL I mean obviously squat is better for strictly legs 😁

[@magnusemeritus]

@@ericrobbins6418 Well, I think the ultimate exercise that surpasses both of them is the clean and jerk. But weightlifting takes a lot of effort to learn. I am a 33 year old man who took up powerlifting at the age of 30. Injured sciatic nerve, limping around. Started with airsquats, progressed to the bar. Now 350, aiming for at least a 400 squat. So I am not impressive by any stretch of the imagination, nor do I really aspire to be, I just want a decent foundation of strength. But if I was young and started lifting from scratch and had the patience to train with a broomstick for two years, working on perfecting technique, I would choose weightlifting! Weightlifters are MONSTERS! Their explosiveness and strength impresses me way more than even the strongest powerlifter!

The trizeps pushdown with the elbow completely out is a real exercice, a lot of crazy bodybuilders showed me These.

[@2liter]

#2 is for your lower chest. not tricep workout at all

[@ScottHermanFitness]

My bro... #2 is not good for lower chest. Its a terrible position for your shoulders to be in and the amount of weight required to overload properly is much more than you would be able to press down without your feet coming off the ground. You would be much better off with a decline press. Hope that helps! 🤗

[@avisharma252]

@@ScottHermanFitness That isn't true actually. It mimics a straight bar dip, which is a great exercise.

[@2liter]

ScottHermanFitness Bro what are you on😂 #2 is used by power builders. this exercise was shown in Athlean-X lower chest video

[@Youngstomata]

@@avisharma252 but your shoulders are doing a lot of the work. Decline bench is way more effective and can do alot,more weight

[@avisharma252]

@@Youngstomata The argument was whether the exercise was effective, and it clearly is. Straight bar dips, which is the more advanced version of the jackhammer pushdown, would carry over to muscle ups and regular dips as well.

Jim Stoppani actually says doing a drag-style curl seated with a BAHBELL is a great mass builder, isolates the biceps without the forearm and brachialis getting fatigued.

[@larryjohnson7154]

Hi Scott. Again. An interesting article is at "The History of 21's- physical culture study". By Conor Heffernan. They all talk biceps 21's. There is no historical mention of it starting as a delt protocol. I'm off to the gym and done with the topic. All in fun. Have a great day.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

So are you going to try Mercy 30s or what my bro?? Did you check them out to see why they are better? Hope you have a great workout!

The triceps pushdown is actually not what you think. It's actually a lower chest exercise. If you do them correctly, they are basically dips.

[@omarflores493]

The assisted pullup machine for glutes does work, and you can get full extension. You stand on the platform facing the opposite direction so that you're fully extending behind your body.

[@yodaguy6956]

I love 21s for bicep curls, they work great for me as a shocking principle, and the slightly reduced weight let's you really focus on the pull of each muscle to achieve strict form, which itself helps with other lifts. It's wicked pissah

[@eg12p34]

4:27 You need to do your research for this exercise. It's one of the hardest triceps exercises because it ensures that you arms are behind your back (you were doing it wrong, sarcastically I assume), which works your longer tricep head more than the other two heads. Also you can't assume that *everyone* can do skull crushers because it puts some sort of strain on the shoulder joints, for many people, including me, this exercise is impossible without breaking my arms. Behind The Knee Tricep extension feels *much* more comfortable and activates my triceps way better. Also this exercise was introduced by *Athleon X* and he gave all the reasons why this exercise is great, as I mentioned, having your arm behind your back, working your longer tricep head... etc.
