The BEST Exercises For Big Triceps According To Science

[@sinahz23]

literally the best video about tricep training on KZbin by far no bs explained everything needed thank you.

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@sinahz23 wow that’s a massive compliment! Thank you homie!

[@marshalljrwilliams5820]

It's getting really confusing with Jeff Nippard and Mike Israetal saying long head is best overhead while others say the opposite. Seems like studies are losing their value when you can find a study to promote anything.

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@marshalljrwilliams5820 yeah there is only one study showing that tho, multiple others that don’t and other mechanistic data supporting that it wouldn’t

[@DrSiddiqui]

Overhead is the best exercise for overall triceps growth.

[@neociety6368]

Studies stopped meaning shit after they lied to us about covid. Just get in the field and see what works

[@Evan.Holmes]

@ this is false

Would love to hear your opinion on LifeFitness tricep extension machine! Thank you

Great video. Support from France !

Be patient bro. Your channel should EASILY be one of the top tier ones.

Thanks for these tips can’t wait for the next one ☝️

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@karimnajid7190 thinking of doing biceps or legs for the next one!

Impressive video, Evan Holmes. Eager to see your next upload from you. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your explanation of the long head's mechanics was enlightening. How do you think integrating more variations could influence growth across all three heads of the triceps?

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@KeyserTheRedBeard thank you! More variations will ultimately result in loading slightly different joint angles with peak resistance at different joint angles, and because different fibers have better leverage at different joint angles, they can’t be maxed out in growth unless they’re being trained where they have their best leverage. So the variation helps us cover those bases by varying which fibers have best leverage at a given angle

[@GaryBruyere-f9b]

Holmes is the man! Great video!

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@GaryBruyere-f9b thank you!

[@harteze6280]

Nice video. I like the delivery. I mostly do overhead for long head and have been seeing good progress with it. Will incorporate the cross body variation tho. Looks cool

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@harteze6280 yeah doing both is a great idea to cover your bases!

[@NoahWilson-us3dk]

Man been waiting on a Evan upload yessir

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@NoahWilson-us3dk full day of eating while cutting coming soon! And another Greg video lol

[@craigwilson3170]

As you know, the most recent and probably the highest quality study showed more growth in the lateral and medial head with OH extensions. Also, the Kholinne study showed the medial head produced significantly more force in positions of shoulder elevation. Definitely leaving some potential gains on the floor by not including some OH work.

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@craigwilson3170 definitely not that black and white. No training is done in a vacuum and there are lots of reasons why overhead extensions may not be as good or necessary for max med and lateral growth. Regardless, I didn’t say to avoid overhead extensions and in fact recommended them

[@NoahWilson-us3dk]

Brotha what are your thoughts on the Carter ext

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@NoahWilson-us3dk not sure what that is!

[@cro3n865]

@ it's basically a single arm tricep pushdown where you rest your arm on the cable for stability. it's super popular rn on tiktok

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@cro3n865 oh I see, yeah it’s not really supporting/bracing the right direction so I’d say it’s overrated

[@raulhidalgo2909]

👍

[@adonyzz9]

i get pain on my left elbow when doing JM Press. You're saying if i start out with lighter weight and higher reps and move up gradually, I can strengthen it to be pain-free?

[@Evan.Holmes]

@@adonyzz9 possibly yeah!

[@arbergashi9789]

[@Evan.Holmes]

damn brother, thank you!

[@krane15]

People always say triceps make up most of the arm, yet I seen so many guys with very large bis as compared to the triceps. One more thing, its a video, so show us. Always keep in mind that "one picture is worth a thousand words."

[@pouihurmen]

The only situation where the active insufficiency argument for the long head actually applies is pure pressing movements. I just don’t buy that a JM press for example doesn’t load all three heads significantly which is why the importance of overhead work is massively overrated imo. Probably still worth doing at some point but I’m convinced you can get horseshoes with just Pushdown variations, JM presses and dips. Arguably those are even better than overhead extensions due to having more adjustable strength curves and allowing you to get maximum tension at full elbow bend

[@paulohenriqued.s]

🔥💪🏻👏🏻

For the algorithm

[@tshatos6442]

Dude do you really have to complicate a triceps push down this much?

[@Evan.Holmes]

no, you don't have to

[@tshatos6442]

@ well who are your videos geared towards? Beginners advanced?
