Build Your Triceps Faster: The Science Simplified

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

Hey All! Feel free to check out the Alpha Progression App: alphaprogression.com/HouseofHypertrophy Read more for timestamps, a small correction, and additional thoughts about some of the info in this video (including discussion on stretch-mediated hypertrophy). Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:30 Part I: Compound vs Isolation 6:29 Part II: The BEST Triceps Exercise? 11:51 Part III: Training Recommendations + Final Words A small correction (at 6:35): I said the researchers recruited 21 men, but it was actually 14 men with 7 women. With the paper from Japan and Greece, we know subjects trained each arm with one of the exercises (it's worth noting limb dominance was counterbalanced between the exercises). Some people might be wondering if the cross-education effect (also called the contralateral effect) could confound the study. The cross-education effect is where the gains from training one limb can "transfer" to the other limb (even if that limb isn't trained at all. However, the cross-education effect only applies to strength adapatations, not muscle growth ( pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37423835/ ). In other words, there is not really any transfer is muscle growth between limbs, so these studies would not be confounded by this. Throughout this video, I didn't mention "statistical signficance". Many assume statistical significance is required to say there's surely a difference between groups, but this isn't neccessarily true. There are multiple shortcomings with purely relying on p-values ( www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00857-9 ). With a few of the studies here, there were notable percentage differences between the groups, but they did not pass the statistical significance threshold. As some of the researchers mentioned in the discussion section of the paper, this is probably due to the small sample sizes in the paper. Across the web, some suggest the triceps should not benefit from being trained at longer lengths. This idea stems from research exploring something called the sarcomere length tension relationship. As I've described in an article ( houseofhypertrophy.com/biceps-length-tension/ ), I believe this research has multiple limitations. Most importantly, the video details research actually measuring muscle growth that finds the long head grows well from the overhead position (we're presuming this is probably explained by the stretch). Some also suggest that the extra gains seen from training muscles at long lengths is short lived. However, as I've also described in an article ( houseofhypertrophy.com/stretch-gains/ ), there are multiple limitations with the research people use to suggest this.

[@flowpom]

What about skull crusher with elbows at 120° respect to the body ( instead of regular 90°)? Car be better for the long head with a stimulus closer to overhead extrensions? I does tear down my triceps in higher degre, despite fatigue might be slightly greater due to greater lats contribution to stabilize the movement.

[@raghavsomani5828]

00:02 Training with compound and isolation exercises impacts triceps hypertrophy 02:07 Bench press grows lateral head better than skull crushers. 04:10 Compound exercises contribute to triceps development. 06:18 Overhead extensions lead to better long head hypertrophy 08:22 Different tricep exercises target specific regions of the muscle differently. 10:33 Alternating arm training may improve tricep hypertrophy 12:41 Overhead extensions may offer better triceps stretch compared to push downs. 14:50 Isolation movements tend to produce more favorable gains for triceps than training push downs alone.

Elbow up , elbow straight, elbow down and elbow behind. 3 sets each way. You will grow all 3 heads!

[@balazsmajor2824]

7:15 - 8:05 to my understanding this would mean working in *more stretch gives more stimulus*, and more stimulus causes more neuronal activation, which in turn results in more muscle growth. Using *more weight* or reps should also cause *more stimulus*(for this you can't use the same weight and reps forever). So if the brain distributes activation (and thus load) among the three heads in the pushdown position, it would make sense for it to do the same in the overhead position. And since the bigger stretch of the long head causes more stimulus, the brain interprets it similarly to a heavier weight, and thus has to increase activation of the lateral and medial heads, to distribute the "bigger load", in an attempt tho avoid overstraining and injuring the long head.

[@timgerber5563]

Seems like I‘m doing something right in terms of exercise selection: On Day 1 I do deficit push-ups, kb overhead press and db overhead extensions so I theoretically hit all heads and on day 2 I do dips, incline bb bench press and overhead cable extensions followed by a drop set of pushdowns which should also cover all heads quite well. Interestingly, I feel the biggest pump with the cable pushdown though…

[@Marvin-ix7hu]

the first time my triceps grew significantly was with dumbbell overhead triceps extensions. I noticed that my lateral head was basically not existing but my longhead was huge. the past 8 weeks I increased my weight gradually on 2 chest compound exercises and noticed that my lateral head increased in size but my chest didnt grow. hope this helps someone

[@jaybee2402]

Loving the conversion little known studies into workable ideas. I definitely think a combo of BP, followed by near failure on SC, then near failure on JM, then back to BP with the Same weight for the last 3 movements is the way to go... not sure whether to cap off with standard OHP's or cable behind the head, but I'd say if you only had 1 day a week to train do everything, if you're long on time mix the last 2 up from session 2 session.

[@axelthorfilms]

The updated way to do the skull crusher is arms back further and lower behind your head. Also doing that on an incline is like the overhead cable extension. Just like french curls. So close grip bench, french curls/incline and press downs is the formula.

9:22 Makes sense, that upper portion would be contracting pretty hard to make the weights stable so that it doesn't fly off. I also feel that region generating fatigue while doing tricep pushdown.

[@inkwell101]

A variation I've been liking lately is taking skullcrusher to positive failure, then continuing without rest by doing close grip bench on the positive rep, and on the negative switching to skullcrusher for a 4 to 7 second negative for maybe 3 or 4 more reps.

Overhead extensions always wreck my shoulders so I steer clear of those.

[@nunninkav]

Play with your grip width and don't go heavy, at all. House has shown us we can still get results going up to 30 reps, so on this one use them. I use a kettle bell, I find the narrow grip width helps my shoulders. I also use it as a warmup exercise, going stupid light. I can use a 100lbs dumbell if I want to destroy my shoulders and elbows, so I don't, I use like 15lbs on the first set and work up to 30lbs.

[@zerrodefex]

Also make sure you shoulders and elbows are well warmed up ahead of time. Sounds like you might need some extra shoulder work anyway.

[@kicksnarehat4393]

I use a resistance band and a fat grip (but I did it without the grip for a while) as it follows the strength curve. Start with a super light one to get used to the movement and get high 20 reps, pay special attention to only moving at the elbow. I've been hitting heavy 5 reps for about 6 months and not a single shoulder injury!

[@reuterss306]

closegrip benchpress is insane. do it with a barbell, the bar should be above your nipples so you get the maximum stretch when you lower the bar. touch your chest always and do at least a second pause to get more out of the stretch, slow eccentric. my triceps blew up with this, so did everyone elses who did this properly.

Thanks! How fascinating that specific movements can train a muscle's top or bottom region differently! I would have assumed that about sinew wear & tear, but I am surprised that the leverage action would change the muscle in such a targeted way!

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

Agreed! It's really interesting

[@johnscott3893]

Let us not forget that the long head originates on the scapula so in order to maximally stretch/engage one has to keep elbows out slightly in the scapular plane. Flaring the elbows on skullcrushers then should engage this head more. For my money though - even though have never had opportunity to try - either the kneeling long rope pull on v bench, or kneeling triceps extension on customized pedestal bench as innovated by Larry Scott would be the two best exercises for developing this the largest triceps head - in theory at least. Another good to great progressive compound movement for engaging this head would be the JM Press as again, the natural movement pattern using a straight bar is to allow the elbows to flare out at the bottom before punching the weight back up. As the stretch can be pretty extreme, make sure the elbow tendons are sufficiently adapted before hitting some real poundage.

[@psngaming3796]

8:00. Yes it will stretch all 3 heads more. The alignment from origin to insertion seems more stretched when the arms are in the OH position. plus it adds gravitational pull.

[@iggytse]

I could never feel my tricep long head working until I did elbow behind back long rope push downs. Also a JM Tricep cable push down where you shrug the shoulders first, which I don’t do unless the gym is empty as it looks awkward but I feel the long head cramp. I only do the overhead cable extension has a high volume finishing exercise to stretch and pump the tricep for improved recovery afterwards.

When it comes to the overhead press I think so much happens with the muscles around the scapula and shoulder girdle as a whole that by the time the longhead is used to extend the elbow we don't have to worry about the long head of the triceps role in adducting the arm. I think the eventually research that comes out will show this. Especially while the arm is overhead the long head is put on stretch so OHP will get a peak contraction on stretch.

Incline close grip bench is better than the flat close grip bench for the tricep due to more rom.

[@erikschubert9764]

You already discussed time-saving training strategies like antagonistic supersets, rest-pause and drop sets. In same the way, cloud you please discuss time-saving program ideas? I myself e.g. superset cable row and deficit push-ups and add one rest-pause set at the end. To use rest time between squats I did do lateral raises which I exchanged with wrist curls since the lateral raises where still a bit breath taking. Additionally, using excercise variations like close-grip on pressing or underhand-grip on pull up/down opens up the possibility to reduce or even skip isolation arm exercises.

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

I think all of those suggestsions (adding a rest pause set to an antagonist superset) and having small movements between squats are great ways to go about that. I will consider creating an updated video where we get more creative in a similar way to what you've suggested (combining different time savings methods)

[@abcmaya]

Back in highschool we had a substitute teacher who was pretty buff and had humongous triceps. And he showed us his secret. He said it's very simple. After you finish with your bench press, just do some triceps pulldowns. And the great thing about it is, you don't need to use heavy weights. just use moderate light weights that's heavy enough to give your triceps a good stretch. Something that you can do around 16 to 20 reps comfortably. Believe me, it works.

[@labib5962]

Both studies mentioned have two flaws and they are that one study with 21 subjects one group did overhead extensions while the other did SUPINATED pushdowns which are inferior to pronated pushdowns because grip cant be a limiting factor and can lift more weight and the the other study with 9 subjects onegroup did lengthened partials at overhead and the other did shortened partials in the pushdown. You see what i am getting at? These are not good enough to say overhead extensions are far more superior to pushdowns.

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

In the 21 subject paper, both exercises were performed with supinated grips, and it's interesting to note some EMG data finds this better activates the long head - journal.iusca.org/index.php/Journal/article/view/250 - I'm not too sure grip is truly the limitating factor once you get use to it, and limiting the load lifted almost certainly does not matter (getting to or close to failure is far more important than the absolute load lifted, evidenced by the fact overhread extensions used lighter loads and the other research finding both lighter and heavier loads with a given exercise can be similar for growth). With the other study, the ROM could impact the findings, but even if ROM is equated, overhead extensions still lengthen the long head more, so probably still better (as shown in the Japan paper). Either way, I agree that we shouldn't be conclusive with 2 papers, so I'm always open to updates whenever future research emerges.

[@labib5962]

@HouseofHypertrophy i am still a bit skeptical but thanks for taking your time to reply to me😘

[@thomasowens4844]

The reason the supinated pushdowns didn't grow the triceps as much is because there was less weight being used

Since I'm already tricep strong i tend to focus on medium weights AWAY from the body to increase the stress factor, Works extremely well. I can go to failure without a minute or so.

Thank you my friend! I'm not using an AI systems. I'm currently using adobe illustrator to create the images and VSDC editor to animate the videos! Your triceps training sounds great! Provided your making progress and seeing gains over the long-term, that's all that matters :)

[@doggo64]

In the previous triceps video you also mentioned that partial skull crushers grew the triceps 2x better which might be caused by hypoxia... I know it's only one study but do I need to cut out the stretched part of the skull crusher because of one study?

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

Nah, after reading that study a few more times and talking it about it with others, I wouldn't put much stock into that paper (hence why I didn't mention it in this updated video). The total hypertrophy in that paper was way more than one might expect, and the measurement technique used by the researchers is also questionable. I'm not saying the study is useless or wrong, but I personally want to see it replicated.

@@HouseofHypertrophy thanks for clearing it up, i actually was confused about it for months :3

[@zackmeaders6199]

Skull crushers and pushdowns don't feel great for my wrists but I think this is due to the suppinated wrist and straight bar. Using the rope handles feels so much better. Not sure how this changes their effect though

[@SpodyOdy]

Are you Greg Ellis? Every time I watch a video I feel like Micah the Disciple from KOTOR 2 is talking about muscle hypertrophy.

[@zack4president]

I love how this guys stretches 3 minutes of info across 15 minutes.

[@אורןקלר]

When will the brachioradialis video drop?

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

I will include those details in a forearm video, hopefully coming out within the next 2 months :)

[@אורןקלר]

​@@HouseofHypertrophyYay thanks😁

[@jackpazin6159]

I just bench/OHP and they grow fine

[@itsallgoodman940]

Just to be clear oh ext can be with dumbbells and barbells not just cables specifically looking at 12:41.

[@djocean9657]

Could you please make a video about how many sets you need to do in a week if you are training 1,2,3 times the muscle per week

[@disorient0871]

Here are Two Great Triceps exercises: 1. Overhead Tricep Barbell Extension. 2. Bodyweight Dips

[@yesitsme6]

can you make another updates video for drop set vs normal set vs paused set? i want to know which i time efficient as a minimalistic trainee.

[@user-ii7xc1ry3x]

3:09 🤣nice one

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

Haha :)

[@keithcheng4671]

long story short, overhead extension

[@DylanClaggett]

8:00 over head extension create more hypertrophy because it keeps your triceps constantly under tension

[@koji1178]

What

[@DylanClaggett]

I did all the thinking for you maybe read it a couple more times

[@koji1178]

@@DylanClaggett yeah but u jost wrote something that makes no sense

[@DylanClaggett]

@@koji1178 go to the minute I marked in the video listen to the question the narrator says he said “idk why overhead extension creates more hypertrophy than regular tricep pull downs?” I answered that question it’s because with overhead extension with your arms over your head and under cable tension your triceps are constantly under tension even at the top of the lift compared to regular pull downs when your at the top of the lift all the weight and pressure is released off your triceps. Your triceps stay engaged for overhead cause your constantly trying to stabilize the cable so even when at the top of the rep your under tension just trying to keep the cable to remain in the correct position all that extra tension is why it causes more muscle hypertrophy did any of that make sense to you?

@@koji1178 looking at your comments on this video is hilarious all your doing is saying other people are wrong they know nothing but you give no information no knowledge no advice you just troll … no constructive criticism 🤣
