When training TRICEPS I can understand that doing the same thing all the time can get boring and yes you should switch things up. But using exercises that are less effective is a step in the wrong direction.
Understand nowadays a lot of the exercise "variety" you see on tiktok and reels is "FOR CONTENT". It's not there to help YOU. It's there to help the ALGORITHM.
But hey, thats why you have me right? So go hit some heavy powerbombs and let me know how those triceps feel the next day!

Preach! Glad to see you did power bombs seated. Take out the core, take the stress off the back and do them HEAVY!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You got that right! The goal of this exercise is to hit triceps as hard as you can. If people are worried about their core go train abs with heavy ab pull downs.🙌

Hah, knew that was coming. Just tried the overhead cable triceps extension though and it feels amazing. At 20kg those issues are far away.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yeah, definitely a great exercise if you can get into position properly. But at a certain point it becomes a bit more dangerous

[@Comedy3610]

Lord i wish more people would see this. I normally do not care what others do in the gym whether it’s pointless or not but when they do this it gets in my personal space. I also see people so bent over on these that it almost looks like theyre doing a bent over pushup or press.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yeah, I feel you. I normally don't get irritated, unless something I want to use is being occupied by some of the stupidity being taught on tiktok. But, 9 out of 10 times I do my best to offer help and guidance when I see someone doing something wrong. They listen MOST of the time. So there's that!

[@mikale2005]

What kind of exercise to do to slim down flabby arms? Is it tricep exercises or bicep excercises

[@gwapodoes]

I used to watch your videos as a teenager. I’m in my 30s now. I’m still getting carded and look just slightly better than I did in my 20s. So thank you for giving me all that info back then!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Love to hear this! Keep it up! Stay young as long as you can! 🙌

[@ninja1man4u]

So power bomb using free weight vs power bomb with a seated cable machine? Is there a difference in results?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

most seated cable machines don't allow me to get a full deep stretch at the bottom due to range of motion. I prefer dumbbell.

[@HughLeFitness]

How about bahbell movements like close grip bench? Sorry I just wanted to say bahbell LOL.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Haha. Too funny man. Yes close-grip bench is a staple triceps exercise. Just like dips (bodyweight or weighted) 🙌

[@WWERULEZ1000]

Scott, how do you feel about using the EZ-Bar for overhead extensions? I've seen you use this variation in the past.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I love it. In some cases it might be better for those of you who have a hard time with shoulder mobility, but still want to do heavy overhead extensions. Try doing things like "shoulder breakers" inbetween sets to loosen up your shoulders more if mobility is an issue. That's why I always have a light band in my gymbag.

[@WWERULEZ1000]

@ScottHermanFitness I found as I got into my 30s (I'm 31 now), my shoulders aren't as mobile as they used to be. Those banded shoulder breakers sound great! My gym has some spare light bands. Will try them tonight with my shoulders and arms session, thanks for the tip, Scott! 💪💪

[@JM-zo5me]

That stretch at the bottom of the powerbomb is definitely the ticket.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You got that right!

[@hellscreamhs8461]

Hei Scott , just a quick question ; if we were to use a bar for the overhead cable extension, is elbow flare a must?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

There’s a lot of different opinions on elbow flair. In my experience, the more you flare, your elbow, the more tension you bring into your shoulders. I tried to keep elbow flare as a minimum.

[@heartbeatbillionaire]

What about skullcrushers instead of power bombs?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Skull crushers are a great exercise! Try doing them on an incline bench so that you can maintain more tension on the triceps at the bottom of the movement.

[@realSpook]

Scott Herman vids are like a light in a dark forest for me. The fitness industry is losing its soul

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

Hey Scotty. This is one exercise I enjoy because it involves cable weight and I do use the rope, because when you lower your arms, I can expand my arms at the bottom. Also, you're from the 1980s. When I get my next SSI disability deposit, I'm going after my NES, SNES, Genesis and Wii games I had to sell at an estate sale after my dad passed 2 years ago. I'm going to go on eBay to get them back. Such games like Ninja Turtles, Mystical Ninja, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, Sonic The Hedgehog, Mega Man III, Donkey Kong Country and many more.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Triceps "extend the elbow'. Expanding your arms at the bottom isn't a triceps movement my friend.

[@andrewpayne5093]

I've been doing incline skullcrushers (bringing the bar behind my head) and duel rope extentions. I've been seeing good tricep growth with these 2 exercises. Using 2 ropes for extentions gives me more range of motion at the bottom

[@ScottHermanFitness]

what range of motion? Your triceps "extend the elbow". Not the shoulder. This is the exact BS that is cluttering your workout. It's "cute for tiktok views" not for gains. Now heavy skull crushers on the incline bench.. That is a GREAT exercise. Spend more time there going as heavy as you can!

[@andrewpayne5093]

​@@ScottHermanFitness using 2 ropes instead of one allows you to bring your elbows back further at the bottom as one rope limits you as they stop at your hips. I didn't learn it from tiktok, I learnt it from KZbin.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

​@@andrewpayne5093 ok, so what does that have to do with "elbow extension"? You are talking about shoulder movement which is not a function of the triceps. 😉

[@andrewpayne5093]

​@ScottHermanFitness idk I'm still learning, I saw them from Sean nalewanyj and Alex leonidas. They give good advice and suggested they were good triceo exercise so I've been trying them out. I'll just swap them out for something else and keep the skullcrushers in. Thanks.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

@@andrewpayne5093 yeah those guys are great. Friends of mine. But at the end of the day that extra 1 - 2 inches at the bottom isn't going to matter. Especially when you have other options like the "powerbomb" to place more emphasis on the long head of the triceps with more weight and a great stretch at the bottom of the movement! Happy to help you our Andrew! Fitness is a never ending journey. Always try new things and be sure to document your progress! Have a great week!

[@user-hs5pr5bt1v]

"I'm probably gonna hurt you..." Scott scares me. "...r feelings." Phew!

Lmao! Here to help. Even if it hurts!

[@SteveFields-tm9je]

😊

[@ianrobinson5841]

Just seen an Alpha M video talking about standing away from the cable machine when doing triceps for extra stretch! He looked uncomfortable when shown doing it! I guess different strokes for different folk's 🤷

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I mean. Its not about different strokes. It just plain dumb to do it this way if trying to target long head effectively as I explained in the video What he was doing was just good old “trying to be cute for views” You sound smart. You said he looked uncomfortable. So you know the right answer. Think Alpha M can crush the 100lbs dumbbell like I did? Probably not because he does these ridiculous rope variants instead of what works. ☺️

[@ianrobinson5841]

I guess if someone looks the part! some automatically think their advice is sound! Perhaps I need to do more research? And he perhaps should stick to skin care 😉

[@Heisenblargh]

Screaming when you talk like it's still year 2009 xDDDD

[@kristianandersen4615]

You're seeing the result of the new lifters watching jeff cavalier and thinking hes gospel because he's got 10+mil subs and is on some sort of something.

[@Geese4life]

Are you okay Scott, your complexion is very different on your face compared to your body? Or are you just really good at applying that SPF now you're a Floridian?

[@MrLugar45]

About the overhead tricep extension (as the exercise is really called): how is using 1 dumbbell for 2 arms heavier than using 2 dumbbells 😅😂 Using 1 db for 30kg or 2 for 15kg is the same weight ya know. That's like saying you shouldnt do dumbbell benchpress bcs you have 2 dumbbells in 2 arms whereas with barbell bench press you hold 1 barbell in 2 arms. Makes no sense scottie 😂 doesn't have anything to do with isolation like you say.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Well, go grab a 50 pound dumbbell and record yourself doing it with one arm using full range of motion, all the way down and all the way up for 8 reps and then do the same thing with a 100 pound dumbbell using both arms and send it to me and let’s see how it works out for you.

[@MrLugar45]

With single dummbells you can flare out your elbows in any angle that feels comfortable, with one dumbbell it forces your elbows in. That feels more awkward, but I doubt that there is a study showing that that angle would be more beneficial.

[@jaredjordan7935]

Scott, it's been awhile since I've watched. Did I hear this right? You came out of the closet finally?

Your goal is not to lift as heavy as possible for every set. Heavy is a relative term... if you always did that you would be doing sets of 1.. you mean to create the most tension in each set depending on the reps..

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You knew EXACTLY what I meant when I said lift as heavy as you can for your sets and reps. It's not rocket science. Don't come in here trying to act like you didn't understand to try to gain some clout at my expense. Instead, put that pretentious attitude toward your gains and better yourself.

[@beast36001]

Alpha destiny or Alex has much better advice for a triceps but the only thing I see is instead of triceps not growing. It's got me. Herman's channel is definitely not growing. It's probably an atrophy and lol

How about you first use this thing called “common sense”. Then if that fails, GOOGLE IT yourself and make a response video. 👍

[@michaelthreepeat]

So many skinny scientists in the gym

[@beast36001]

Another thing that he just doesn't understand. Maybe he's just ignorant is when you get up to the big dumbbells. Not every dumbbell is the same. It depends who the manufacturer is. Some are big and bulky and if you don't got that range of motion or that flexibility in your shoulders and if you have tendonitis doing seated power bombs of her dumbbells just plain f****** dumb,

[@ScottHermanFitness]

So maybe don’t be so stupid to do exercises that you know you can’t do properly versus trying to call me ignorant. If you would’ve watched the end of the video you would’ve seen me say work on your mobility instead of complaining. Also, the majority of you that complain about elbow tendinitis, really just have loads of built-up scar tissue and tight muscles throughout your arms back and shoulders. Maybe lose your own ignorance and go get checked out and stop complaining.
