16 Set Biceps and Triceps Massacre- Try It!

[@Dandelion-32]

Mike at the table = voice of reason: Taking every set to failure = too much damage and systemic fatigue compromising your next workout. Mike having a guest = Take every set to failure

[@ay-kae]

😂true but He also knows this guy is a pro bodybuilder on gear and can recover from it

[@jamzey8373]

but you notice he said, 2 sets per muscle cause he fatigues faster cause hes a bigger dude with bigger muscles. They are going to failure, but arent doing a ton of sets and causing real systemic fatigue. You need to find the balance between reps - whats failure- and how many sets you should do for your body to create enough stimulus without over compromising your system.

[@willcook6967]

It's amazing from how many angles you can attack a muscle that is generally considered to move in only two directions. I will keep this in mind for my workout after work this morning. I've been getting lazier with age (pushing 50) and I really do need the motivation to get my shit together. I really need to start looking at training differently. There are just so many ways to fry a muscle and I've let myself get too complacent. I can't hit it like I did back in the day, but I can still alter my workouts to make them more effective. I need more videos like this to get my creative juices flowing. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@Kalebsweeten]

No way this is “close to failure” style. You’re not gonna tell me this isn’t an ultra failure with no reps in reserve workout. Absolutely love it, i’m gonna be sore for a week with this 👍🏻

[@midnightflyer7510]

I tell you what though, in my experience, if you do this type of training with low to moderate weight, you don’t get super sore. When I used to train heavy with looser form I used to get very sore, too sore, and my joints and tendons were always inflamed. Once I switched to this about a year ago I can hit them more frequently, get better pumps and my arms have grown and my biceps are way more vascular! I actually have bicep hose veins most days, especially when training and I’ve been lifting for decades! I never would’ve believed it possible!

Dr Mike! Any chance of a video on whether you should do accessory exercises and cardio while deloading? Can you go to failure on , for instance, calf raises or bicep curls?

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

No direct video any time soon, but I will say this here: don't do anything hard on deload. Some cardio is ok, but going to failure on stuff doesn't help reduce fatigue. It's better to go hard in accumulation and go easy on deload. - Dr. Mike

[@ophirmayer1]

Why not superset antagonist muscles

[@themondoshow]

You can do that as well

[@koleary1798]

Interesting form on the BB tricep extensions at the start. I would consider the JM press, how many people do it, to be 50/50 in terms of extension to press. The form you demonstrate seems to skew it say 70/30, with just enough press to mitigate the dodgy position of the elbow at the bottom

[@midnightflyer7510]

Definitely JM presses. I wonder how many people are familiar Johnmark Blakely from the powerlifting world though? Probably just easier to call them a skullcrusher variation or in this case, chin crusher.😉

[@heartbeatpoetry7704]

How do you feel about alternating between tri/bi exercises, instead of doing all the tri exercises before doing the bis?

Unless it is limiting your mobility or hurts I wouldn't mind it, just warm up elbows with a few light sets of pushdowns that really helps warm up the elbows and triceps.

Throw reverse curls in there, I always have a reverse curls section and then usually do hammer curls as well, generally after a classic biceps movement so that both muscles get extra work.

[@domepiece11]

I do reverse barbell curls with like a 3-second eccentric. I do them last after my other bicep exercises. Then you can really blast them. They respond well to heavy negatives.
