How to Get Big Arms without Wrecking Elbows with Ben Pollack and Hypertrophy Coach Joe Bennett

[@Shane756]

Reminds me of the good old days when everyday was arm day and no one squatted in my curl rack

[@HypertrophyCoach]

😂

[@ronin_9]

BEARD MEETS HEAD STRIATIONS! This series with Ben and Taylor is amazing!!

[@joaocrufer]

Coach, it would be priceless if you made a video about posing. Like a mini seminar or something. Where you could talk and demo your thoughts about it 💎💪🏼

[@godsgiftto3arth]

Still don't know why this channel doesn't have more subscribers!?!?

ARM DAY? PHDEADLIFT A N D HYPERTROPHY COACH? Christmas came early

[@stephanreichelt1960]

[@ignaciohinojosa4287]

Nice t-shirt Joe i like it

[@BeaterCar]

Ben Pollack, I'm in here

[@MeleDrummer]

I loved the posing clip, would love to see more advice from you Joe. Thanks!

[@cv0669]

enjoying the app a lot Joe

[@danielmessina9888]

The posing advice was cool to see. Don't see that covered much at all.

[@KYgopMajor]

I've got "golfer's elbow" in my left arm and it limits my training, especially with biceps. Appreciate the content.

[@samin_fitcoach]

type ulnar nerve streching on yt and see if dat helps i healed it like that

[@joojotin]

@@samin_fitcoach I always had pain after I did barbell curls

[@KYgopMajor]

@@samin_fitcoach I gave your tip a shot. Watched a few videos, did some stretches, and made it through a back, rear delt, and bicep workout with hardly any pain. I did go a tad bit lighter on most of my sets but finished with PRs on the deadlift. So, I didn't exactly take it easy. Thanks for the tip. I'm about to stretch the nerve again and go hit a push workout.

[@russellhenckel2887]

Look into using a voodoo floss band. Kelly starrett has a video how to use it for tendinitis. I find it works great

[@samin_fitcoach]

@@KYgopMajor am glad u made it trough i know what is like to train with pain especialy nerve stuff one more thing.dont over do it overstrech u can make it worse

[@adrians5875]

1:07 that smith machine tricep press would wreck my tricep tendons near the elbow though

[@mayvafitness3174]

Warm up the elbows with cable pushdowns before and they will feel better.

[@HypertrophyCoach]

Why? Have you tried it? I found it one of the most “elbow friendly” movements

[@adrians5875]

@@HypertrophyCoach My guess is it has something to do with the wrist rotation, plus my left arm tricep tendon is wonky. I have found only two exercises that don't aggravate it, one from your previous video on the topic, and "katana" extensions from Eugene Teo

[@rubia426]

You guys should really look into bodybuilding. You might have a chance of being good at it👍🏼

[@ericm.6732]

Is there a video f you competing Joe? I can’t find any on KZbin

[@HypertrophyCoach]

I’m not sure. I have professional video from my last show. I don’t think I posted it on KZbin. Just cell phone from a few other shows.

[@jacob1031]

Couldn't the smith machine tricep press become a problem for the forearm flexors with such a grip? Just curious

[@oliverfrssn]

when your garage gym is way better than any gym i´ve ever been to (sweden) makes me real sad. Thank you for this safe place! haha

[@HypertrophyCoach]

It’s not a garage 😂

[@oliverfrssn]

@@HypertrophyCoach point missed! now my feelings are hurt :(

[@irfaannishandar3614]

Algorithm do your thing!

[@fitzy28101]

Looks like a jm press but on a smith, interesting.

[@HypertrophyCoach]

Yup!

[@synergyrevolution2332]

Less things to juggle doing it on a smith.

[@wowwow305]

Weak rear delt how to develop plz talk about it

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

Hit rear delts 2 or more times per week

[@Blood_fog]

God, Ben is looking fucking freaky now

[@joojotin]

How many exercises do you think is enough for muscle. For example triceps. You can load it more in the contracted, stretched or in the middle positon and you can move your elbow also potentially to prioritize tricep heads. How many exercises do you think is needed for optimal maximum developement? Thanks coach.

[@UpfrontGen216]

Trial and error with adding a couple more sets than normal and see how your recovery is along with growth, also start your push days/arm days with tricep movements, also eat more on those tricep focused days

[@joojotin]

@@UpfrontGen216 I wasnt asking how to grow triceps or how someone did etc. Im not even really interested about the triceps. My question is more about how many angles, exercises and resistance curves in his opinion would be optimal for muscle growth. Some say only one good exercise and most people say you need bunch of different exercises to optimize muscle growth. There is so many angles, resistance curves etc that could be used when building muscle. Im looking more of a science based answer if he has one.

[@joojotin]

@Thor God of Thunder yeah unfortunately. I was just asking for an opinion not science fact. But there could definetely be research on this subject, but there is so many factors to think about before this experiment could be viable. Maybe we will get there some day.

[@MeleDrummer]

@@joojotin research on legs seems to indicate you need more than 1 exercise to maximise growth, so multiple exercises are better, but can't say an specific number based on science, but IMO i'd say for triceps at least 2 (one press one isolation like cable extensions)

[@joojotin]

@@MeleDrummer hmmm yeah. There is many things to Consider. I dont think any compound movement is optimal for triceps tho. If you press it is not mainly triceps so it only assists on lift, and presses dont really follow the fibers of the triceps. Maybe some tricep press where it goes through full range of motion of the triceps.

[@jmartinez19944]

Any tips for the long head of the Triceps? It's hard for me to feel a contraction

[@HypertrophyCoach]

I don’t think it’s worth trying to isolate

[@jmartinez19944]

@@HypertrophyCoach ahhh ok

[@kairiannah]

soo u recommend not doing skull crushers even if you have decent elbows?

[@johnspartan9839]

Joe is giving us viable options. We may not all agree with everything the coach has to offer but if you can incorporate at least one new thing into your training repertoire thats one more than you had before.

[@josh_wah]

1:38 Dude's head looks like Thanos' chin lmfao

[@taomahNEGEV]

Good way of killing time at the laundry.

[@lulquan4526]

Hi coach, i see some of the bilateral movements you and especially Ben do are not very ideal when it comes to ALLIGNMENT. Any explanation on that ?

[@johnspartan9839]

Structural alignment

[@angusjc16]

Didn’t realise how big Ben has gotten.

[@synergyrevolution2332]

Hey coach, what are you trying to achieve with the band set up on that machine preacher curl?

[@lousmeets4797]

He's optimizing the profile of the exercise. At the bottom of the preacher curl there's basically no tension because all the joints are in alignment. Even though there's force produced by the weight, there's no moment arm which equates to zero torque at the elbow joint. By using bands (accomodating resistance) you change the line of force (more towards the shoulder instead of down) which produces more tension in that end range as a result, giving this exercise a better muscle profile. Hope that makes sense.

ben blocked me on ig cause i asked for cycle advice smh
