Haven't watched this yet but I already know there is gonna be valuable information.

[@stevecvntniko8271]

Billy Donaldson yes it's good watch it and listen CVNT

[@Milliardo5]

Steve CVNT Niko Darn Steve you also here? I thought you mainly patrol Lee's videos.

[@stevecvntniko8271]

Milliardo5 lol I've always been here.., I always say that I like and respect all the old school bb and I hate all the supplement pushing CVNTs on KZbin

[@angryvet296]

three way skull crushers are now a part my regular routine. Great tip. Definitely feel a better pump!

[@richardwoolley7854]

Right with you brother!

[@nk5350]

Hitting the gym everyday with your knowledge and expertise that you taught us... You are truly missed🙏

[@nkelto]

Ric I really like this new format.

[@hotwheel6663]

I love skull crushers my fave Tri movement.

[@razoredge6476]

Hell yeah. Skull crushers are the shit

[@bizeem]

"You weren't there, I was there..." Best comment about steroids ever made! Love your work Ric!

[@Ice-Fall]

There wasn't much steroids around back then, I was there, on the east coast, but you can find it, like D-Bol. I saw the extreme example of it with several lifters, their backs were covered with acne. Not a pretty sight, even though they got really big.

[@hotwheel6663]

@@Ice-Fall Anavar too 😄

[@BatEatsMoth]

I've been getting good results with kickbacks. It's a seriously underestimated exercise.

[@fitlifestylebiggainz]

Lol

[@justinandsheba]

I wrecked my elbow doing one arm tricep extensions. Took months to heal...now I use a cable for overhead work and that works great.

[@JBalderas1990]

People debating about carbs need to suck it up! Yes you can do it! I do it and I'm doing it right now. Went from a 34 inch waist to a 29 inch waist while still maintaining muscle. I mainly follow Steve Reeves workouts but I also use Vince Girondas diet which is little to no carbs. My goal is to achieve the classic physique of the 50s and 60s and it has been a great rough and tough process. You just have to be willing to do it. Keep it up ric! 💪

[@hotwheel6663]

How many grams of carbs You do a day? Under 50?

[@chrisgoomba9735]

Skull crushers and Overhead barbell extensions are AMAZING. I've been doing them and let me tell you folks there hasnt been any other exercise that blew up a body part's size like sitting and standing barbell extensions. I highly recommend. If you cant with a barbell do them with heavy ez curl bars.

[@tserings2228]

Thank you for all of your information, Ric. I appreciate the fact that you're fueling the fitness community with your years of experience.

[@mikespano1]

Ric, I just got through with the Bill Pearl method you described of 3 skull crushers, 3 behind the head and 3 presses. My triceps are wasted. I got more out of these than single hand tricep extensions behind the head. Great tip. No wonder Bill had nothing but triceps! Thanks.

[@ThePitPony]

If you do barbell presses,either military,bench press etc,a good finisher are diamond press ups to pump the "back arms".I actually started doing these after watching your video with Dave Haft.Great stuff as always Ric.

[@johndickenson3824]

I've been doing skull crushers for twenty eight years now very good exercise for triceps and like Ric said I just pump out the weight after my set it really makes my arms grow 💪

[@franksignorile2240]

You are inspirational. At 63, it's nice to know that i can keep training hard.

[@buff6173]

thank's a lot!

[@freddiecash8928]

another 10 min of great info ric : ) thanks

[@mikemorrison5542]

Skullcrushers/Skullpress was/is my go to triceps exercise, and always will be. And you're right, every time I workout with someone new in my garage gym and we hit triceps, I'll do this exercise...and they'll have never seen it before. I also like the lying French Press. Great information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Ric!

[@georgesoto93]

Great video really enjoy watching all your videos

[@aaronbrooke-naylor3389]

love the new format Rick!

[@darkmysterytemple]

h he's one of the very best on KZbin. He's been doing this before most people were born and probably before some people's dad's were born!

[@mrwillgreen]

Love the information!!! Much Respect!!

[@jacobwinkelman4704]

[@Jim1974Gym]

Thanks Ric very good info love the old school!!

[@iluvmym4]

Great information as always Thanks Ric 👍 Happy new year 🎉

[@sicilian12345]

Ric, what about weighted tricep dips with your feet up on a bench, the heels of your hands on another bench with weight on your lap??

[@rickkolde396]

sicilian12345

[@sicilian12345]

Uhhhhh excuse me? Arnold used to do these all the time back in the day. I have massive triceps and I owe it the exercise I mentioned.

[@stevehiggins4538]

sicilian12345 According to Doug Brignole in a video on Ric's Corner, that exercise you mention is mostly frontal deltoid, not tricep. Try skull crushers instead. See the video for Doug's explanation of the biomechanics.

[@donbouquet403]

i like close-grip benches for triceps

[@1citybuilder]

Thanks Ric! ! I'm in So Cal if you ever want to check out the very old School Vince Gironda equipment I bought that used to be in his Gym on Ventura Blvd.

[@edr777]

Great video. That tricep routine reminded me of the one I do that I got from Vince Gironda's muscle has four sides booklet. I only do part of it to avoid injury, but the tricep push is my favorite...took me a while to get the muscles to engage properly but it really works great. It kind of feels like catching a big ball and then the triceps extend out and you get an amazing pump.

[@magnificentmask9601]

flul body steve reeves style is INCREDIBLE....ric you look amazing

[@UXXV]

Best videos on youtube. Been a massive fan of skull crushers for a year now

[@witty2345]

New to the channel here. I watch these motivational videos while working out also. Awesome insight Rick!

[@crazee635]

Always good to hear about old school exercises. Bodybuilding was such an art form back in the Golden Age unlike today where the sport is like a bad chemistry experiment on humans.

[@upstatenoizepollution7342]

the French curl is a mainstay for me. but I'm oldschool lol, and I kid you not Ric, I LOVE full body workouts. They just fit with me

[@DuraMaxDieHard101]

I believe you Ric about no carbs, today people are calling it the The Keto diet. works great I lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks and have lots of energy.

[@stevecvntniko8271]

David Clark carbs are shit. Up your fat intake, I'm on the keto diet too and will be for years to come

[@stevecvntniko8271]

David Clark lol sorry bud I thought you said you lost all your energy on keto lol

[@TheBrianna4555]

Yep, cyclical ketogenic diet. I stay on .25 carbs throughout the week with the exception of Thursday (.75 carbs) and Sunday is 2-3G carbs.

[@stevecvntniko8271]

Brianna Just do TKD (targeted keto diet) Add some oats before or after a workout during the week..I do strict keto all week and then mostly every Sunday I hit 400g of carbs I have a big cheat meal. Pizza, Kebab & a burger

[@theotriadafillos580]

i only eat carbs

[@harris1234100]

French press, and close grip bench presses are good too.

[@Austin_IK]

Thank you Ric.

[@beerandbones614]

skull crushers kick ass. I just did them today in fact. Sometimes it was the only one that I got sore from. Now just starting back at the gym anything gets me sore but they are great. Got to start off light or with a good warm up though. Had a guy kind of giggle at the fact of doing the presses after the crushers before, but together they will pump your tri's up.

[@abelhernandez2353]

Yo RIC ur freakin awesome keep up the good work I be learning alot thanks brother

[@egyptianstuntman]

Fantastic Master Ric

[@DoubleOTEN]

RIC YOU DA BESTEST!!! Yo RIC what supplement companies was around back in the old days?

[@rondog8192]

Close grip benches and weighted dips(deep). And if you "can't, don't,shouldn't,are afraid to...go to the bottom, too bad. Plus extensions of whatever variety you want, there's tons, mix it up. But close grips and dips are meat and more meat.

[@antoniowagner7807]

I got Bill pearl s body building book you are right!

[@weldean46]

I love your channel Ric keep up the great vids Bro

[@timshufflebottom828]

ric speaking of triceps u should invite dave haft again if ihe is not away in hawai?

[@jamjar342]

Great tips

[@DwyaneWadeCounty]

How many days per week did you train train triceps?

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

5:41. Whatever it takes. 5%!

[@chuckz28]

Ric, what's your thoughts on Wellness Fitness Nutrition recently getting raided by the DEA for illegal sale of AAS, since you've supported them in past videos?

[@ricdrasin]

Well he came across very honest and up front with me in the beginning and his product did work however who really knows anyone and what this world is coming to? It's unfortunate that these people are around and make it but eventually KARMA catches up. Really too bad

[@bobbobber6726]

ric drasin steroids should not be illegal

[@dwaipayandattaroy9801]

Wrists for skull crusher and ventral forearms too?

[@MrBass-nt5fw]

Glad Your Mending Nicely :)

[@nickgrauber2188]

Okay, so I like the idea of high fats, high protein, low carbs. But my question is based off what calories scale? My BMR is around 3200 calories a day. What should my macros look like? Thanks!

[@joeysixtysix]

Triceps are probably my strong point. I do something very similar to the exercise at 3:34 and other people in the gym always give a me look like "wtf are you doing?" I don't care though, it works very well.

[@VoiceOfThe]

I used to get great pumps doing triceps... just recently it's not happening, despite switching things up. 🤔

[@BN-gx8vk]

no carbs, try keto. I'm cutting on keto and have endless amounts of energy.

[@johndickenson3824]

Hey Ric help me with a good workout routine I'm turning 44 this June I train on low carb my arms are 22 I lift heavy on and off thanks again.

[@Viking-ou8fc]

I think you should go on rx muscle for a great interview from a real old Scholls bodybuilder. you have so much knolledge

[@alexbarsky5349]

6 months with an undiagnosed avulsion fracture lol. I'd be so pissed

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

I think the thing about tricep being two thirds may be an overstatement. The upper arm is made up of the triceps, biceps and brachialis. The triceps is certainly the biggest and probably easily makes up 50% of the arm but not 70%. I remember reading a chart where it said that the brachialis makes up at least 10%, maybe 15%. Do not remember how much of it is biceps.

[@beachbum6741]

you were allnatural back in the day??

[@edmahonejr.9364]

Ric ..have you commented on wellness fitness getting busted..

[@TitoYuca]

You forgot Primobolan. With Dbol, Deca, Winstrol, Anavar, and Test, that's a total of SIX compounds right there, and just one of these at a low dose is going to work wonders for muscle building irrespective of how many carbs are in the diet. Sure, the keto diet is great for cutting, but not for bulking. Fact is, you can't get big without carbs (let alone train with as much energy) so the steroids you and the guys were taking are the main reason why you grew.

[@ricdrasin]

Yes you're right. I did forget that

[@bobbobber6726]

TitoYuca you have no idea what you are taking about

[@bobbobber6726]

ric drasin carbs are overrated

[@obviouslee1949]

Did Arnold ever talk about his diet? The one he described in his first book "Education of a Bodybuilder" which was given out in 1977 2 years after his last Olympia win definitely wasn't keto.

[@kaytrout3836]

ric drasin is it true you have to run primo at 800-1000 mg a week to see results? I'm 5-10 200lbs age 34 10% body fat. That sounds like a insane amount to take

[@matthewreeves8738]

Hey Ric, what kind of cardio did you guys do back in the day???

[@iluvmym4]

matthew reeves probably chasing women in bikinis 👙 on the beach 🌊

[@danielstjohn2510]

Ric did you train triceps and biceps separately on arm day or did you alternate and superset more?

[@ricdrasin]

both

[@steinhvik4380]

How much credit to your wellbeing would you give to the Sun? I am a Norwegian and I sometimes wonder how it would be to live and train in the Sun. I wonder if it raises testosterone and helps recuperation from training.

[@MrSurfsAlot]

stein høvik 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day is all ya need

[@nickymooncymbals]

Thanks for another great video Ric 💪🏻 I appreciate your response to my email also

[@MaheshWalatara]

None of the old schoolers had good triceps. Except for Serge Nubret.

[@gregshock]

In every freaking video about bodybuilding, there's always a bunch of yapping birds in the comment section, chirping about steroids & the juice. Why does everybody seem to zero in on the steroid thing!? Just work hard, eat good and sleep well every night. Live a healthy life and get as much as you can out of the lifestyle. If you don't like steroids, don't use them. What could be more simple?

[@kicknadeadcat]

Rich piana was not human.

[@obviouslee1949]

Hi Ric, did you guys drink a lot of milk back then? I don't see you talking much about it.

[@ricdrasin]

none

[@Shadowboxe]

What's there to explain? You were on the keto diet which uses fats for energy. Simples.

[@DancerInTheHeart]

I read that triceps are 60%. Your bicep is the second largest muscle and the brachialis is unsurprisingly the smallest.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

I would never compare "10 pounds of drugs a day" Rich Piana to "one Dianabol a day" Bill Pearl.

[@jamesfulmer7080]

Just curious, did you see the doctor who missed the triceps tear?

[@ricdrasin]

yea

[@DelrayDeHolmes]

I hate it when people wipe their ass on their white gym towel and then leave it in the locker room for everyone to walk by and see. Always find that disgusting.

[@oldschoollife3222]

I can't afford to use old school labs

[@doubanjiang]

Rich Piana is a poor example. His tris are synthol implants. Bill Pearl, spot-on.

[@briancoop4699]

never listen to the trolls

[@Ayp3]

Respect to you ric but It seems that you either dont respect or dont believe what doug brignole has already explained on your very own show, the triceps all converge on the same insertion point so you cannot preferentially hit any one of the heads, making different exercises for the triceps redundant and in many cases inferior and inefficient

[@seedymcfly5013]

Triceps are definitely my muscle that lacks the most.. fuckin sucks

[@anonymousinternetcowardmcq4967]

Jesus do ANY of you guys not try to push these fucking supplements on your videos?

[@ClickClack_Bam]

Honestly in my 19 years of working out I'll never do skullcrushers or over head dumbbell tricep extensions. Both are insanely hard on the elbow joint and you can't go heavy. Both will leave you eventually injured too. Get on a machine and do triceps push downs. You can go heavy and it's not hard on the joint. This means you can keep building them up through weight increases. Dips are a nice exercise where you can hit the triceps nice too.
