[@JakeyMikeySmithey]

Eugene is like that one cool teacher you had in school that you always got hyped to have lessons with.

[@coacheugeneteo]

😂😂😂 thank you

[@tucon3s270]

And on top of that he has majestic hair

[@JohnnyGTar]

My favourite triceps exercise is spotting myself while i do leg press

Hahahahahhaha

He slices, he dices,he tells you how to build triceps!

[@coacheugeneteo]

😅😅🙏🙏

[@junixie1702]

I wish he could tell me how to get beautiful long and thin hair..

[@BabakAzarian]

I'm a physiotherapy student aiming to work in the sports rehab+training industry one day and your short videos are like fast nuggets of knowledge giving me more motivation. I thank and salute you for your videos Eugene🌿

[@coacheugeneteo]

Glad you like them!

[@kimberlymorris5934]

You are such a good teacher! The tea, lovely accent, hair, serene background with the natural wood, and occasional guitar are all so inviting and add to the enjoyment of watching your videos!

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you very much!!

[@Joshuatmccann]

Been needing guidance that is easy to hear and comprehend. Non invasive, a fellow well spoken 'Strayan' and genuinely instructive. Atta boy. Subbed.

[@leonidZim]

Two favorite exercises: 1.Skull crusher 2. Tricep Cable pushdowm (V-bar)

[@coacheugeneteo]

Nice!

[@nominox1158]

Same here

[@enda19]

I also found vbar cable pushdown to be the most effective for me, but unfortunately due to pandemic, i quit the gym and do not have access to cable machine anymore. Thankfully I do have a squat rack at home and some basic bands and weights at home, so I can still do bench, bent over rows, and squats. I'm having a hard time giving my triceps an isolated pump though =[

[@tontus1]

Edgar Cheung get creative...rack+bands+carabiners+ handle=tricep pump!

[@ajitesh_ironcreed7257]

Mine are katana extensions and parallel bar dips (with weights or bands)

[@krishnaowen9542]

From a physiotherapist. V impressed with your little forward about pain at the beginning of the video. So many people giving out non evidenced based 'functional' rehab exercises on KZbin with no discussion around volume, intensity, frequency, exercise selection etc. Keep it up!

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you very much

[@patnorrie]

9:00 , super important note for people to takeaway about their shoulder ROM in dips regarding their shoulder extension, so glad you mentioned this!

[@coacheugeneteo]

Yes!!

[@Craxan]

I've been a sub since a week and I love digging through your content. As a physio/Henselmans pt I love the arguments and deep-dives you make into biomechanics. Also your absolute calmness is really nice to listen to. Chapeau! Looking forward to more exercises per bodypart vids!

I am in hospital now, have been operated on my shoulder and of course I am watching Uncle Eugene workout. I do love and respect you so much💜

[@streetruffel]

Finally someone mention Katana Extensions. Very good excercise. Love that Deadpool mask :D

[@coacheugeneteo]

Yes!

[@AdamAdam-fh7ln]

​@@coacheugeneteo no cable kickback for the long head?

[@Sk0lzky]

Fun fact: ninjas were "typical samurai" too so they wouldn't carry the sword on the back either. Tbh the only case in history where we see people with swords on the back is when they don't have to unsheathe it from there (transporting larger weapon when you have a sidearm and such)

[@DaveGym2.0]

I love all tricep workouts, skull crusher and the simple tricep pull down. But I will definitely add these into it.

[@scarfacemontana123]

Sitting here past midnight just watching your videos one after the other. Love your videos man! Your narration is just prime example of good vibes.

[@Getwelllivehealthy]

Another great video coach 💥 1. Katana extension all the way for me. Helped me big time with my elbow discomfort. 2. Cross body tricep extension I love as well giant set or in combination with the circus extension. 💥 Keep up the good work mate. Hope all is good with you. 🙏🏻

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you! Same to you mate

[@SplishySploshy]

Everyone talking about how good the vid is without saying that Eugene's t-shirt is absolute GOLD

[@coacheugeneteo]

🙏🙏

[@Ewansarmy]

Eugene! You really do have such a way with words! I can't even tell if you've scripted this or not because it flows so seamlessly! For my favourite two i'm quite boring; close grip bench and skullcrushers

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you very much! A lot of planning and practice goes into these 😅🙏

[@bryant.1938]

Hey Eugene, I love your videos man! Thanks for the specifics! I was wondering because I have a lot of muscle imbalance and was wondering if maybe you could do a video for tips on how to smooth that out? Thanks! Be safe!

[@coacheugeneteo]

I shall!

[@VSStriker]

Really enjoy your intellectual approach to the kinesiology whilst still keeping the presentation fun. Great tips! Thank You!

[@MrDevinferreira]

Dips on the roman chair and triceps pressdown are my favourite. I always get a very satisfying pump and can exhaust my triceps with these two exercises.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Nice!

[@davewilson9472]

You engage with the audience much more than other channels, I feel like I actually learn something when I come here.

[@gaddirafaelalfonsoco3648]

I've found a way to avoid hurting my elbows while doing tricep extensions and finding better alternatives, thanks for this!

[@sparky844]

I was having trouble thinking up a good tricep exercise for years but then i tried *cable pulldowns with the dual-rope attachment* and i'm never going back. S++ tier tricep excersise FOR SURE.

[@crazymusicman13]

I just did this katana extension (bad ass name lol) for the first time today and holy cow did it highlight an asymmetry between my left and right scapula and serratus. Absolutely brilliant and can't wait to get better on the movement.

[@amosforbes9982]

Shoulders next, then calves ?

[@coacheugeneteo]

Forearms and abs too 👀👀

[@thabisodube]

Shoulders has already been done

[@Sk0lzky]

@@thabisodube and mine still suck lmao I do love to work my forearms though, can't wait to hear Eugene's opinion!

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Lying triceps extensions with dumbbells and cable (cambered attachment) pressdowns have been beneficial over the years for me. Love dips between benches too! Cheers!

[@sleepysobTF]

I always leave these videos feeling 10x more knowledgeable

[@ibanarrambide]

I think making a one shot video with that much detail is hard but looks so easy, great content as usual

[@coacheugeneteo]

It ain’t easy that’s for sure haha

[@truthseeker630]

The path that crosses the centreline for extension! I never thought of that, Brilliant! And makes sense since this might give the best general body stability .

[@coacheugeneteo]

Yes it's great!

[@Usiris23]

9:42 is an A1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ cue. I think I’ve been going too deep on my rings and it dramatically decreases my reps. Thank you sir 💪🏽

[@BhodiAboulfaraj]

I wish I would be there, to see you kicking my ass to some extra motivation to rebuild this body that is going down!

[@brianguajardo2420]

Thank you for this video. I am going to use both exercises in my morning session tomorrow. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy them with my coffee.

[@tockybalboa6399]

thank you for explaining the joint and muscle range of motion.

[@Thedudeabides803]

Yes, chest and tri’s this morning. Love when things align.😀 my 4 year old loves the shirt btw. And favorite exercises are dips with weight on the lap and skull crushers.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Hahahah glad your 4 year old approves.

[@Thedudeabides803]

As do I ☺️

2 favs for the triceps --> Close "grip" push ups with bands and your "katana" elbow extensions. Another diamond for muscle growth, thanks Eugene🤙🏽🥋

Thank you!

Thank you!

[@buenafizedhd1417]

So informative as always My favourite triceps exercise is barbell skull crushers and body weight dips with controlled negative and really focusing on triceps 💯

[@coacheugeneteo]

Nice!

[@torstent8979]

What I dislike about eugene: he always uses stuff that I don't have and tells just from time to time alternatives. What I like about him: everything else.

[@marinus1908]

Nice content, I like straight bar pushdowns for the lateral head and incline skullovers for my longhead. Trains both the shortened position and the lengthengt position very well.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Nice!

[@willthomas5953]

Close grip bench overhead tricep ext are my 2 favorite and honestly overhead ext. Did the most for my tricep development

[@lsporter88]

Great lesson on body mechanics. Those are very effective exercises. Growing the triceps can increase overall physical strength quickly and helps you with the other compound lifts that will really put size on you. Great advice and video (and cool mask ..🙃).

[@Jason-wc3fh]

Word of caution to those who might be excited to all out on triceps work, I recently developed tendonitis on my right elbow from some heavy triceps pushdowns. I didn't really notice anything during the training, but the following days I knew I overdid it when I realized it was strained pretty good. Would hurt like hell simply tapping my elbow on something by accident. Ontop of it all, it takes over a month for this to slowly heal to the point you can actually do any pushing or triceps work again. Not fun at all. Take it easy as this tendon can easily be stressed, just like many shoulder related workouts can easily cause an issue. I rarely develop injuries in lifting and this has been annoying.

[@sid3176]

Do you have an update on your elbow pain?

[@Jason-wc3fh]

@@sid3176 Yeah. I avoided anything too stressful on it, focused more on some deep tissue myofascial release and went back with a little more focus on cleaner, more controlled lifts with less weight and been good since. It seemed my ego to really lift heavy got in the way.

[@andrewhill8123]

Great info as always Eugene

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you

[@loxdemfiyademfiah6459]

Katana Extensions...LOVE it!!

[@Manuel-yi3iu]

if you have elbow pain and your are doing some triceps exercises with a rope just do a very slow and controlled negative. it helped me alot

[@javierpassantino8348]

Loving the good vibe. Great work.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you

[@davidwarren719]

Never quite knew what to call them but I’ve always felt I connected well with katana extensions! Love the name. Great video!

[@zaasz1]

I really like the doing a overhead tricep variation with cables and a simple skullcrusher with a close grip motion as a finisher

[@coacheugeneteo]

Nice!

[@greg5487]

Great material! Just wanted to say that with my elbow pains rolling the triceps ( especially the attachments) did the job + also light "katana" extension with resistance bands before workout. Can't stress enough how much it helped me, now my triceps are more elastic/have bigger range of motion + also no pain in push movements when training chest/triceps/shoulders

[@coacheugeneteo]

Excellent!

[@SweelFor]

I like the clever angle you use on the cables. I've been trying a cable overhead isolation recently and I could never find the right setup so I dropped the exercise. I will try yours tomorrow

[@coacheugeneteo]

Hope it went well!

[@SweelFor]

@@coacheugeneteo It actually did lol I really liked it I will keep it for this cycle

[@jonnyboz]

Love this series! Pushdowns and Overhead Extensions!

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you!

[@GuiltyBystander8]

Haha katana extensions, I like it. The main two exercises I'm mostly focused on for triceps are dips and v-bar triceps pushdown. I'll try the katana extensions next time I work my triceps, can't wait.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Enjoy!

[@shahriarkabir1515]

Excellent video man.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you

[@kal7rider780]

I'm glad you didn't say skull crushers, they put a huge stress on the elbows...I'll be incorporating Katana extensions into my next workout. ✌

[@lauramckinney8351]

Adaptable Tio Teo! So hard to compress all that knowledge into two exercises only!

[@lauramckinney8351]

That you have a Deadpool mask... naughty...

[@AlvaTheSpurned]

I’m curious about doing Dips on a “Push” day. Say you’re going to work triceps after working your chest. Having a worked chest would affect your dips right? As far as I know dips work both. Also love your videos!

[@kennyng5866]

Excellent video as usual mate... Weighted dips are my fav💯

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you!

[@bramschrijnen]

I love your work man! It helps me a lot. 2 dumbell tryceps on bench and I think with two bigger ropes on the lat pull down machine

[@yattmanntatt3360]

Hey Eugene... - your content become better and better. Can you show us the proper technique of "breathing" during work out. Especially during Abs training. Tq Dude.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Sure thing!

[@rychier6994]

Power bombs and ez curl bar lying triceps extensions are my 2 favs. Close grip bench press and floor presses are also great. Power bombs give the best pump I'd say though....

[@Fizzypassion]

[@RyCam02]

Hi Eugene. Great content as usual. Would be really interesting if you could go into more depth on the carrying angle and its effect on upper body pressing and pushing. Having had a number of shoulder surgeries and cervical neck issue's......i find that the carry angle that you describe as the position that promotes most pain relief. However, when pressing we are encouraged to have the elbows tucked more......as apposed to a more "converging" position

[@coacheugeneteo]

Sure thing!

[@hansoncogen7772]

Hey Eugene, please share with us your tips on how to improve the chest size as well as symmetry. My chest muscles don't respond appropriately to exercises, leading to asymmetrical growth. Thanks.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Will do

[@robc6794]

My favourite is the overhead cable press too, I’ve made varying length ‘ ropes ‘ out of nylon dog lead ( very strong) with rubber ends . This allows you to move away from the machine and vary angles significantly.

[@boxerfencer]

Loved the video. Short, concise, and offers great value. One question, though. You mentioned that stability really isnt a good or bad thing, but just a quality of the exercise. In a prior video your did on exercises for quarantine conditions, you suggested instability stimulates more fiber recruitment, and therefore would be great for hypertrophy, but i dont see how this could be, considering stability is a requirement for overloading capability.

[@bebenewbornphotography170]

Excellent informative video

[@pollytaylor404]

So well explained thanks Eugene. Definitely will try the katana ext- as I don’t feel the regular rope ext working tris as much as I should . Loving these videos 🙌🏼
