Won my first strongman comp this weekend. Want to thank you for inspiring to take up the sport and always giving out some of the best advice. Keep doing what you're doing.

Haven't done a curl since high school? Acting like we didn't see you curling with jujimufu lol

Ive brought my grip in a while ago, and my close grip is only a tad below wide grip, but feels way smoother and more natural

Built a workout plan based on your Mass-Builder, currently in week 10. It is like you are in my head. Every time I start programming the next wave and think where I need to focus, all of a sudden there is a new video for exactly what I need. Thank you for all the amazing free content - information and demonstrations!

Thanks for everything Brian! its helpful to have a great source for knowledge on strongman and working out. I live in a smallish town where there's nobody to talk to you about this kind of stuff and I go to the gym at 2 in the morning so there's not really anybody there for me to talk to you and get tips from either. So I can't say thank you enough.

Thanks for this Brian. Your channel is so underrated! Keep them coming brother!

Always great tips, thank you Brian!

Thank you for the info again Brian!!

Love your videos, keep 'em coming!!

GREAT VIDEO... Thanks for the GREAT TIPS...

Thanks for the tips Brian!

New to the channel. Love the content. I am a fan of Powerlifting, and general practical strength. Enjoying this binge.

Your voice sounds good! Does this mean the heaving has lessened? I will certainly start tacking waiter's walks at the end of my overhead-centric workout. Thank you for your tips!

Great Video Thanks💪

Best intro to a video ever. Thanks for that.

I am watching channel you're full of knowledge I took your knowledge on strongman training and I replied it to the gym thankyou

them videos are just gettin betta and betta. time stamps are a nice added touch.

Dam! I learned something new, yoke bar jm press. Never seen that before! Great stuff

Thanks Brian!

Perfect timing working tri’s today

Great video as always Hello from France

I needed this one, my triceps suck, lol. You look good man, hope that means you're on the mend!👍

Thanks, you're great

Great dogs!!! Hey, right on man! that tissue box) Brian, thank you man. Great video! I never thought about push ups at the end before.

Love the videos. Used your dark horse program to train for 2 strongman contest (won em both). Keep doing what you do!

Amazing video Brian! Personally, the most brutal burn I've ever felt in my triceps was doing tricep kickbacks laying on a bench, your long head will literally be in pain because of the contraction. I would like to see a biceps video like this one, my triceps are really strong but my biceps are garbage and I do a lot of weighted chin-ups. Keep up the good work! 💪💪💪

Another good one

Solid info

It's always a good video with the doggies

04:59 Brian: For this movement you need friends Me: :(

I used to hate close grip because I did them way to close and it killed my wrist. Took some advice quite awhile ago about no going so close and I freaking love it mow plus it has helped my bench go through the roof and my shoulders even feel better.

Was anyone else thinking Dr. Seuss at 9:43? Be strong and courageous, brother!!

Neutral grip DB skullcrushers are my favorite body building style movement. Takes all wrist pain and elbow pain away for me. I also set the bench to a 30/45 degree angle and it helps get your arms in a better position for maximal stretch

Don't think I didn't notice that Saltire and Lion Rampant on the wall during all this juicy Tricep advice 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪

close grip bench press in a rack pressing into/against the safeties for an isometric hold just short of lock out

Please do how to get better grip strength and best exercises, amazing workout tips! Your Help has improved my lifts loads! Thanks

Wish you'd made this video a couple of weeks ago. Fucked up my wrists doing super close grip bench press.

I really need one of Elite's SSB bars and one of their cambered multi grip bars.

JM Press is my go to

I would recommend anyone who has elbow pain during skull crushers to look up Rippetoe's Tricep Extension video. I'm not a big SS fan but that video is fantastic and I can now do skull crushers without hurting my elbow (and I even broke an elbow joint some years back!).

Josh Bryant does a nice bit on the JM press that he calls a Texas press on the Smith Machine (he does appropriately credit it as a JM press)

Bro??!!! Thank you for the JM Press variation with the SSB!!!

noted

That tissue box for friendless lifters cracked me up :)

I lost it at the tissue box being used as the block😂😂😂

Hey Brian how do you feel about doing close grip inclines on a smith? I can't do them on a flat bench anymore.

Lying on the Floor hammer grip dumbell extensions I find more comfortable than the ez curl bar skull crushers. Easier on the elbows for sure.

Hey Brian..!!

I do the french press which is similar to the jm press

I was just thinking I needed to compile list of triceps assistance for my future conjugate program. Thank you!

Brian Thanks for bailing me out. I was lost in the storm of isolation fuk excercises and I worked out hard and got huge. But ended up being a huge weakling. I am changing that fast now and hope to be as strong as you in like 39 years.

That 280lb weighted dip is absolutely insane

Great! Would love to hear a similar on chest

I've been starting to do a lot more close(r)-grip bench, 'cause my triceps are weak, lol.

6:28 Reminds me of a certain Rick Del Hagen

Man! 6 45lb weighted dips weight great form is just unreal...this man is a beast

Brian i have to laugh. My dogs are just like yours. Struggled with my 1 minute planks in giant set cause my dog wanted to crawl under me and cuddle lol

Any tips for the inner head my outer head is alot more developed compared to my medial head what causes lateral elbow pain whenever I do triceps it's mostly on one side

How about French Curls, Brian?

Brian really is slept on. In 2-5 years, his videos from 4-5 years ago will have hundreds of thousands of views. Why? Because his videos WORK. His workouts WORK. I personally feel like his exercises keep me from being dead-weight during the zombie apocalypse. What good to me is deadlifting 900lbs? Impressive, sure. But these tricep exercises will save my ass when my life is on the line - in ways that a barbell deadlift never will. I dont train for comp. I don't train to look good. I don't train to impress ladies or other gym bros - I train because, when REAL LIFE hits, I'm ready. And thanks to these oldschool videos, I will BE ready. Thanks for all the effort you've put in to teach, brotha.

Just finished my forearm workout now here I am 😆

Wear rudraksh mala on wrist

I want so bad to grow my triceps but I broke my left elbow in two places and GAH. Pain flares up after 10 push ups. Havent tried the cg bp like Brian said but its the same movement no?

When discussing skull crushers: "knock yourself out" - haha, please not literally though people

Yo, I'm ahude fan of the channel. Can u do a video on how to do conditioning. Like farmers walks how heavy and how far. Jump rope how long u should jump for. Or how many sprints u should do. Cuz tbh I'm lost when it comes to conditioning.

He’s absolutely right. Everyone tells me how the hell do I bench and do OhP at over 135lbs like nothing. It’s the triceps but, they don’t believe me.

I love skull crushers with dumbbells

Where can I buy that block for press. I don't have friends 😔

I want to drive up to Maryland, and get my ass kicked! I plan on taking a week, or two off from work and I'll either drive, or fly up...Is there a way to possibly make this happen?

jm press is similar to skullcrusher ?

Instead of those skull crushers (you did not fully recommend anyway), I would like to suggest an exercise that includes shoulder extension, one of the two functions of the long head of the triceps. The closest variant is the so-called triceps extension lying on a bench and using an EZ-bar, like you used with the skull crusher. Instead of bringing the bar to your forehead or thereabouts, which causes a lot of stress on the elbow joints for many people, you bring the bar behind your head and go for the stretch reflex there. You can use quite a lot of weight doing this and it's adjustable with small weight increments. I think it's sort of like a dumbbell pullover, which I loved doing before I learned of the existence of the lying triceps extension. Dumbbells get cumbersome/unwieldy and they go up with bigger weight increments, making them less suitable for progressive overload. I also think it's more likely you drop a dumbbell than a bar, which you have your hands around, so better use the EZ-bar (which is safer for your wrists than a straight bar in this manner). The lying triceps extension also calls into action the lats, upper chest, and serratus anterior, if I'm not mistaken. It is a compound movement. Usually, the shoulder extension is employed using a rope and when people are standing, and people use light weights that way usually. I rarely see anyone do a lying triceps extension the way I described here. The reason might be because it may look like you do the skull crusher wrong or you rip your shoulder. Well, it is a very safe exercise, if you know what you're doing. I recommend cleaning the weight, so as to keep it real. You could take the weight out of a rack, of course. Thank you for the video. My triceps are lagging behind. I can always get a bar off my chest or delts, but when I fail, it's when the triceps are supposed to take over... I think I will start doing dips again. I remember when I did those a long time ago, they fried my triceps. They are kinda tricky, though. One mistake and you can mess up your shoulder bad. Six plates is really really really strong BTW.

Every time I do serious dips I end up with pain in my traps and clavicle... Any advice? As always, super useful content. It was, again, something I need to take into account in my next workouts. Thank you very much.

Can you please say which exercise is best for triceps long heads

Forearms next please

Brian Alsruhe I wanna Neversate hat. Any in the works?

“Stupid Reps” lol I will start using that term.

What about bench press with bands or chains?

I'm in an apartment so I just have a half rack. I thought the safety pegs were just for safety. I never thought to implement them as a tool for helping build my strength. Thanks for the idea. Oh if you need a friend to hold your tissue box, I gotcha. STAY DANGEROUS MY FRIEND.

So is there a reason that dips are kept in the assistance section as opposed to the main lifts, considering how heavy you can go with them? I'm currently considering adding in giant sets with dips as a T1 instead of bench press since it can often take me 90 seconds to explain to a spotter that I don't want them to help me the moment I strain!

What I'd I just put my feet up on the bench

So pretty much every tricep exercise known to man

Love you Brian, but can’t agree, Bicep work is important too brother .. as an accessory

my triceps aren’t big, but i can close grip 315 and wide grip 285🤔

Strong, strong triceps = Strong, strong Log!

Brian do you still have that worm inside you? If yes will it ever be removed or go away?

3cep

😀💪👍

I do close grip all the time but no way could I do the same weight as my standard bench max with proper form. Them bastards tire my arms out like crazy. Also, getting a swiss bar is top of my list once they are actually in stock somewhere for a decent price. I can't remember where it was but I did see one online the other day but it was like 300$ and didn't look any nicer than a titan one.

5:00 phahahaha

5:29

One of the most notable differences in my girlfriend's body when she came back from basic training was her arms. Her triceps had grown like crazy from all the pushups. People tend to underestimate them because for the most part they are a bodyweight movement, but if you take a high volume approach to them you can make gains.

six plate dip? Good lord

Bicep next please

That curl since highschool thing isn't try l true. You did them with Juji and Tom lol

chase strength mass will follow chase success and bitches will follow

A 6 plate dip for reps at 200+lbs, I'll be damned.... It's like you've got the blood of Aries running through your veins!

Dips hurt my shoulders, like the AC joint

Damn in your thumbnail your shoulder is huge! You on some cycle 😱?

Three is better than two. Fine, here are three one dollar bills. Give me those two Bennies. lol
