Love how John always explains things in a way everyone can understand and not trying to impress with scientific jargon, which he could easily do by the way.
Years ago, I developed a horrible case of elbow tendentious by starting out with heavy skull crushers. Ever since watching this video, I have warmed up my triceps using the order of exercises that he mentions and my elbows have been staying healthy.
He was the best. I sincerely wish I could have met this man and shook his hand for all the knowledge he has given us. Delivered in such a kind manner and family inclusive 😢
Another reason why I like watching this guy so much is because he reminds me of my boss, looks almost identical to him, his name was Darrell Schoolfield (recently died a few years ago) same arms skin tone, not very tall, Barrell chest, I worked for Darrell , 1990 to 1992, he owned Fitness Factory in Tulsa, Ok, and he was a powerlifter also and he built his own exercise equipment. I always wanted to be an amateur or professional bodybuilder also, but my dad also stopped me from doing that like a lot of other things he'd stopped me from doing. At age 52 now, I'm actually looking really good for my age, and still doing sporadic bodybuilding, no contests, just bodybuilding
Love to be able to build ny own equipment. So cool. My father never encouraged me to do anything, so it could be said he stopped me too in a way. The best thing you can do for your body is to maintain some form of strength training so keep it up friend, even if you need a break at times.
It's easy to mess your elbows up with tricep exercises for sure but changing up exercises helps also. I find dips to be the easiest on elbows and they help make the triceps huge.
Im 54 and can concur SKULLKRUSHERS are bad for elbows i did them for yrs after pushdowns and lately just about tore my elbow tendon off in jan with only 90ish lbs on 7th rep i used to do 110 for 5-6 reps after waiting 6 weeks to do any arm work i got back in the gym but 6 months later still cant tolerate ANY skullkrusher work and solely use pushdowns or oh ext to stay elbow painfree
What can I do comparable at home? I can't get to a gym? I only have free weights and not many at that... Lol, I'm a new weight lifter. I love love love it but don't have access to machines. I'm also 59 female. Ty
hi. great video. what u think about deeps and close grip bench press? i want to add weight to my bench so ill be happy to take tips from u which tricebs exercises to choose as accessory
I don't normally watch these kind of videos but glad I did, and a good length for attention span. Your suggestions make sense and the results speak for themselves. I never had time for more than one specific tricep exercise but with 4 kinds it looks like a 2 or 3 day split is needed. At my age it takes 3 or 4 days just to recover from anything even a jog, so I'm wondering how I could incorporate these complex moves. Maybe once weekly or even longer? Edit: Apparently the guy is no longer with us? Sorry. What happened?
I’m 55 and reinvigorated by HIT training. Great results-full body workout, 1-3x/week, no more than 12 exercises. ONE working set to FAILURE, following progressive overload. 1 year + gains like crazy. Mentzer approach.
