Great videos. This info is great. Im 46 now, I have injured myself so many times due to the lack if knowledge when I was younger. There wasn't internet, just Iron magazine, and Muscle and Fitness. They had a lot of lifting routines but nothing about avoiding injury, or if you have injury do this instead. I have had 4 shoulder surgeries, 1 bicep repair last year, and now another bicep rear recently in the right. All of it was due to my poor lifting form and lack of information. I hope these younger guys take these videos to heart so they can have a greater longevity of lifting then myself and others have had. I wish I could go back and have the knowledge that is available now. Thank you so much. Please keep posting.

Triceps have always been my best feature. I built them mainly with taking a single dumbbell sitting in a chair and doing behind the head extensions. Going heavy and to failure with a spotter. 70s 80s 90s. 12-15 reps. Blew my tris up! BUT, it also started wearing my elbows out. Eventually I stopped them and have no more elbow pain. Luckily I had already built their foundation, it's been easier to maintain them. Also, I changed my grip. Alot of people dont know that sometimes the pain in your elbow has nothing to do with your elbow. Its actually originating at the palm. AthleanX has a video about it. Tris are still jacked. No more elbow pain😁

You are totally right about not starting with behind the neck tricep raises. The gym that I frequented moved the mirror so that I couldn’t watch myself lower the weight behind my head. I’m of a similar age and had sore elbows for a while. I’ve gotten rid of the ache and find exercises such as what you are suggesting to be perfect and allow me to get at least the same pump without the pain. I now prefer to use 2 lighter dumbbells behind the neck rather than one so that one tricep doesn’t take over.

I have started having huge triceps since I put more focus on exercises behind my neck just like those legends.

Great advice. I was lifting heavy at 58 yrs old. I would use a 95lb dumbell for seated overhead dumbell extensions and had been for a year or 2. Then 1 day I felt a sharp pain in the elbows while doing these and kept getting worse. Long story short I had torn the tricep tendon on both elbows and had to have them cutoff and reattached with screws. Was out of the gym for 9 months. Be careful with the elbows. The surgeon said that the muscle and bones can take the weight but not the tendons as we age.

Great video. I have found over years of experimentation that doing the push down First helps the tendons greatly. Using an ez curl for the JM press is a great idea. I might just pick up a rackable ez curl for convenience sake. A straight bar tends to put too much stress on the outer elbow tendons, and I’ve had enough issues with them over the years. They don’t need anymore stress.
