“F females, although I’ve never tried..” 😭😭😭 this man Mike is hilarious

[@billbredeck1249]

Dr Mike just because minimal setup for all, benches and dual cables at busy commercial gyms are tough to do.

[@carmelopappalardo8477]

Exactly.

Honestly

[@Vusseyv881]

@@billbredeck1249 yeah you are effectively taking out both cable stacks and the middle chinup station.

Perfect example of the evolution of lifting. Bench supported cables all year have been blowing up my arms like never before 💪😉

gives the muscles and vascularity a more “freaky” look i think

[@pereivindtrettengen6137]

i like both lists but i agree with Eric about heavy skullcrusher's giving a weird elbow feeling, so i'd rather do extension exercises for tri's

[@DoNotTouchJustLook1]

Love the options. Dr. Mike is more friendly for someone training at home gym without access to cables. If I was training in a commercial gym I would definitely mix and use both

[@bobfystro4935]

I would ideally pick Eric's 3, however in my garage gym I don't have a cable machine so Dr. Mike's 3 is one I would go with as most practical. Love all 6 movements.

[@Vusseyv881]

I’ve just started doing those cable curls leaning forward from a previous dr Mike video and they are awesome. Still Learning after 40 years in the gym.

the seated tricep pushdown is insane. my new fav

I’ve been doing the Dr Mike curls for a month now and they are killers. Such nice soarness for a few days.

​@@JronDon854 he's been talking a lot about how angry he is, how violent his thoughts are, his inability to feel human emotions etc. He says himself it's because of the mental gear he's shooting up all the time. Couple days ago he posted a hilarious video of him screaming doing leg curls. The guy is nuts

[@JstBringIt]

@@petaflop3606I took that hamstring curl video as letting out his emotions in the gym cause he just finished a show which he didn’t do very well in after trying so hard and posting about retiring from teying to get his pro card.

[@user-dn4lg1dv5v]

Eric's exercises because I destroyed my elbows with heavy skull crushers early on in my training career. I have to use cables for arms now, with the exception of weighted chins, dips, and close grip bench press

[@user-nx8zm3yd8d]

I agree, but my elbows are a mess from bjj. I also like Eric's is all one setup. Tricep, bicep, tricep superset(s) and finished, plus the dropset is faster. I always feel I am being self indulgent doing arms, now I can knock them out in 10 minutes.

[@michaelcollis8302]

Eric triceps, Mike biceps. Those behind the head cables from the ground are huge stretches. Feels like a game changer for me

[@HavasiP]

[@Andy_Sgouros]

Eric for biceps Mike for triceps

[@mac4393]

Thank you for a great video! Collabing even better than last time!

[@hollins625]

Both lists are great! Haven't tried all of the exercises, yet, but I prefer Eric's list because it looks like even more stretch than Mike's.

[@ophirmayer1]

Yesss keep those coming :). About skullcrushers: why not use dumbells with a neutral grip to get pass the face tension at the bottom?

[@user-nx8zm3yd8d]

I think that is a great idea but maybe anatomy? At their size it is probably hard to maintain elbow discipline without the ez bar.

[@tenzinlee6393]

The bench push down is great because gravity keeps your torso in position. If you’re standing, you have to balance. The cable is still pulling in the same way relative to your body.

[@damian_bennett_]

I like Eric's list better since it's all cables. It's easier to change the line of resistance and make any small adjustments if necessary opposed to Dr. Mike's exercises where you can't change much on a barbell (or e z bar) skull crusher, or the other two exercises for that matter. All of the exercises Dr. Mike showed actually cause discomfort for me, elbows and/or shoulder joints. While cable stuff like Eric shower is always fine, since I can always make those small changes to make it fit my personal needs

[@1922johnboy]

Absolutely wonderful information again my Brothers❤😊

[@normanhurtsr7075]

Thanks for these tips, can’t wait to start using them. Time efficiency is a plus so getting more pump out of less time is a big win.

[@alanESV2]

Heck yeah I was sore from flat bench curls from yesterday

[@nicolasmoran7722]

Literally just tried the lying bicep curl. I legit felt I was gonna tear my bicep when I tried to push it to failure, AMAZING! 10/10, I'll do it always now. The stretch is insane!

[@timk8258]

They both make numerous incorrect claims about “max tension in the stretched position” which you can see are false just by looking at the video. In the skullcrusher clip it’s clear that the moment arm is zero at the start if the movement with the forearms straight down. For incline curls the moment arm and therefore tension is not maximized until the forearm is parallel to the floor, halfway through the movement. With Eric’s overhead cable movement, he starts with the cable directly in line with his forearm, again producing zero torque around the elbow joint (and the elbows look like they’re only at about 90 degrees of flexion, so not a full stretch either.

[@sheabuttersymba]

I like Eric's list better but at my gym it's difficult to get that set up consistently.

[@MrShake77]

Love both, but my tendons are not elite like Mike 😉 love me some cables… but those lying curls 😱👏

[@bobjenkins4925]

Yuuup. I just do incline curls on a lower incline than most and leave it at that.

[@Canciennecooper]

My two Favorite people ❤

[@ohiogrudgeracing]

For me, Eric's tri movements are better & Mike's Bicep movement is better. Those 3 are part of my current routine and have made a huge difference for me

[@rhaegoti]

I don't have gym or cable machine access, only some home free weights. So Dr. Mike's exercises are ideal for me. One question, though - are skull crushers and lying french press the same thing?

[@KiaOrion]

Love both! Dig this series with Dr Mike!

[@keatonwalsh15]

Kinda surprised Mike didn’t mention this. I think when doing the cable curls you should curl all the way up as your biceps assist in glenohumeral flexion. Stopping early is just missing out on gains

[@FloorballMadeSimple]

Dr. Mike. With his movements I can actually lift something in everyday life rather than only having big biceps for showoff

[@entitiessoul]

Dr.Mike's no doubt.

[@Leocifre]

i already notice the stretch on incline bench curls, never had the idea to do decline. nice video, thanks for the tips!

[@user-nx8zm3yd8d]

I did these for a long time and they were so much better than standing. I never understood why they were better until watching Dr. Mike and friends explaining the stretch principal in every single video. I never imagined doing them lying down though.

[@barrygosden1246]

I follow both channels closely and at 42 lean a lot to controlled cable stuff that Eric uses however I use both channels to just choose my exercise variations so use all of these anyway

[@BlackSpice]

I would pick erics all day stable low fatigue hight tension

[@connorsaxton2920]

Lyint buxep curls are amazing

[@zionxi2250]

Erick's exercises are unbelievably impractical to set up

[@johanntoday]

Even at a home gym w rogue pulley attachments im not sure I could set them up cause cable length But I for real have the wheels turning to test

[@Cory.S]

I'm going with Eric easily

[@sxhrgvs]

Great suggestions. Unfortunately skull crushes have destroyed my elbows recently and I can’t do them at the moment. Love the other suggestions. Thanks guys.

[@billagap3213]

Start with pushdowns to warm up the elbows. And then slowly increase the weight on skullcrushers. Also try and bring the elbows not right above your head but a little back to stretch the triceps better. Skullcrushers is really a top tier exercise

[@sxhrgvs]

@@billagap3213 thanks. will give that a shot.

[@antoniotapia3503]

I did lying bicep curls and I was sore for 3 days. Glorious

[@cameronpearson2160]

I’m not a fan of Dr. Mikes Bicep pick. My issue with it is how much front delt isometrics are required to perform the movement, they can be the limiting factor in my experience.

[@googlefaps5883]

U can actively disengage them by trying to activate ur rear delts. Ur most likely actively pulling them up

[@symico]

even if i love Dr Mike content and hum hum in a manly way i prefer using cables since they provide tension

[@rodrigovaccari7547]

I prefer hammer curls over normal curls. I don't see a point in training a single muscle when I could adjust it a little bit, pull a bigger weight and train 3 muscles instead (brachialis and radiobrachialis).

[@kwerby3285]

There is no one right answer, just context and tradeoffs.

[@jeffbm6880]

Eric wins this, by far! Cables provide that constant tension and stability. Emphasizing the stretch. Barbell and dumbbell movements just aren't as efficacious.

Since the triceps always want to point outwards when stretching, barbells are by nature very bad for the elbows 🙈

[@supermarkethobo9567]

The lying dumbbell curl feels like advanced lifter amnesia. 99% of his gains came from other movements.

[@kavishurethireswaran2748]

Also the entire movement is an isometric contraction on ur delts and when ur doing u will notice ur delts burning. Eric's bicep movement is much better imo and less gimmicky

[@kwerby3285]

That’s a hilarious term and i knew exactly what you were saying without ever having heard it before 😂 should add it to the lexicon

[@GartB]

I've been doing this and it feels like I'm getting crippling bicep pumps and no shoulder pump. It works.

[@pat06061]

Both bicep exercises look similar

[@Maltetren]

There is in fact no stretch on the skull crusher to the nose or forehead. Also i love that he says that the flat or decline curl is the very best. no one ever has done them on consistent basis. But because a few studies says its optimal its all of the asudden the best. Also this exercise also might be the most detrimental to your elbows. I highly doubt most people can do it consistently for years and years without ever experiencing pain.
