Also, we mentioned the medial head may be harder to grow. After making this video, I realized the Brandao et al. study did demonstrate pretty good growth of the medial head from bench press and skull crusher training, somewhat opposing the notion the medial head may be harder to grow. Anway, I hope all of this was useful and informative! :)

As a weightlifter for 25 years in my experience as individuals we do respond differently to various exercises, loads and reps however it seems mechanically that raising the elbow up, the higher up the more the long head is activated. So to sum it up overhead triceps extensions are used to develop long head, triceps push downs work more medial and lateral head.
@KRYPTOSPOLLARD Жыл бұрын
I agree. The only issue with this is if you haven't done them much before, you can overshoot on weight and reps very easily. I did this a few times where i thought my elbow joint just didn't like them. Then a not big, old guy at the gym one day talked to me about them. He was mostly a runner, but went to the gym primarily to do kind of weighed stretches. That's how he explained his routine, and it really opened my eyes to what was happening while lifting. I do one set of overhead Triceps extensions with a cable to maximize time under tension and minimize the stress at maximum leverage arm. I do them with fairly low weight, and with very slow controlled reps, focusing a lot on the eccentric and max stretch. And my long head has improved a huge amount in size and strength and my elbow no longer hurts on my occasional heavy overhead lifts.

5+ years lifter here, I concur, in the first 2 years of my training I mostly did push ups and bench for triceps, lateral head grew significantly as compared to long head. After that i started doing overhead extensions and my long head started to develop very quickly along with my lateral head. I think my genetics are more lateral tricep head biased, so there's that individual variance

I love Triceps because they are probably top 3 most resistant muscles, they aid you during your presses and they are ready for 3-6 sets after you complete your push day, I dislike the notion of "don't train your triceps bruh, compounds do it" because they CAN handle more than that, they also recover very fast due to their relatively small size yet they can look monstrous if you train them well. They are also responsible for making your arms look thick as the biceps dont cover much area.

For me, my Tris exploded when I found a superset type workout for them. It's 4 sets in quick succession, of 4 different movements, 10 reps each. Using only the ez curl bar, while laying on flat bench. The exercise is called "40s". Use a weight that feels too light at first, but by then end of the first set your tris are pumped and burning. We used to use 25s-35s on each side of the bar, but starting w 10s or two 10s would be good to see where you are w it then adjust. 1st movement: 10 skull crushers. 2nd movement: 10 skull crushers but go all the way behind your head, almost touching the ground. 3rd movement: move the bar from your sternum to the top of your forehead, back n forth, keeping the bar close to your body the whole time. 10 rapid reps. 4th movement: 10 rapid reps of bench. Straight up and down quickly. Do all reps quickly. Whole exercise takes about a minute. W the right weight you will feel white hot fire in your triceps at the end of the last two sets and your tris will be pumped beyond belief, seriously. Last set will be torture. Best workout ever. I often used that as my entire triceps workout, it's that good. (Oh, as far as rest we'd take a few minutes between, you need it. Not too long tho, 2-3 mins, there's a sweet spot where ur tris are still pumped/inflamed but energy is regained for another complete set. And we'd typically do these every other tricep day, because they're so taxing)

I never did any triceps isolation before, but my tris grew significantly because I bench press using a closer grip (approx 1.5 shoulder width, even less i.e. my thumb just outside the lateral border of my delts in the saggital plane). However, the only head that had seen significant growth is the lateral head. Shiet. Now im trying to neurologically access my long head. When I do overheads, only my right arm can access it, because it has a weak lateral head (significantly less fuller than the left). Edit: i don't know why very little research is done to take into account not just the shoulder angle, but how externally rotated the shoulder is during elbow flexion. I actually feel more activation of my long head if i extend my elbows with my shoulder rotated more externally. Edit: btw, if Duchenne is a legend. His work contributed much to out understanding of electrophysiology, muscle diseases, and human expression.

Much of the research indicates what we all know; everyone responds differently. However, I find the long versus short rest interval research interesting. It would seem to indicate that the time the muscle is "pumped" is important. If you do 10 sets in 30 minutes or 20 sets in 30 minutes the time the muscle has more blood flow is constant. The amount of stress on the related joints may become the deciding factor for some. It would be a decision of lighter weight for more reps or less sets with the heavier weight the extra rest time allows. Thank you for doing this

Epic video big 🐕. Appreciate all the hard work you put into it. I was under the impression that ideal triceps routine would have your shoulders at variable angles: overhead triceps extensions, triceps pushdowns, and triceps kickbacks. I like to use a cable machine for these, and do them one arm at a time, and with no attachment. I just grab the plastic ball thing on the end and it allows me to get a WAY better contraction than doing it as a two-armed exercise. It's probably individually variable, but I just don't get much triceps activation when doing bench presses. I probably did when I first started doing presses (I had no idea how to use my chest to move the weight), but I can really focus on my chest now and I don't feel any triceps during the movement, unless maybe if I really stretched out at the top and locked out my elbows, which I don't do.

In my experience different repranges also change how the different heads get activated. If I do dips (weighted) in the 8-12 range I feel it mostly in the medial and lateral head. When I increase the load so I end up doing 3-5 reps the long head really kicks in too, huge difference. It would be interesting to see the comparison if they adjusted the sets so TUT was identical comparing training in the 8-12 range and the 5-6 range. Just doing 3 sets each don't seem to be a fair comparison.... Great stuff....Keep it coming

In my practical experience, extensions with a supinated grip with the arm close to the body and Closed bench press they very effectively work the medial head and the distal part respectively, the lateral head in extensions with a pronated grip close to the body,I see this being disseminated and confirmed in practice here in Brazil, It is also noticed that extensions with the long arm of the trunk stimulate the long head more and the distal part less.

I agree with medial head been a fast twitch muscle from my own personal experience. I trained my tricep fairly well and when i got stronger i tried weighted dips for few sets and my medial head was so sore i thought that i injured myself. Never experience that with any other tricep exercises including bench press. Tricep long head is very easy to get it sore, just focus on eccentric moves on exercises like skullcrusher. I got my most gains from weighted dips because medial head makes you lower tricep look bigger especially for a small bonded guys

Seems like the explanation for lack of long head tricep stimulation in horizontal presses would apply to vertical presses. In the concentric part of the bench press, you are lengthening the long head and the shoulder joint (because of shoulder flexion) and at the same time shortening it at the elbow joint (because of elbow extension). The same thing will happen in vertical presses

I think you are right! I made a mistake in this video by saying vertical presses may better train the long head

Hey, no problem. Thank you for checking out these videos :) Which exercises are you struggling to perform correctly. There are many great tutorials already on youtube. Moreover, finding your own way to perform the exercises is key, not everyone's anatomy is the same, so individualization is important. You can record yourself with a phone and use it to let you know how your technique looks, then you can make adjustments. Hope this is helpful! :)

@@HouseofHypertrophy thank u so much most my strugle is in shoulder side and rear delt .. like the the one side fly adjusted .. it was being reomnd for me recently and im not sure about it even tho i feel it good but its really hard for feels un naturel for me .. thumb face the ground and elbow out .. its like rotating ur hand and performing side fly .. im not sure if u get the pic cuz of my bad english xd ... and the most strugle is in the back exercices too since there is no real muscle mind connection .. bodybuilding is not about just lifting weights .. its about isolation and working the muscle goupe u wanna target .. thats where my strugle ..

Only three things you need: - weighted dips rep range 6-8, 4 sets (progressive overload. Improve in weight) - 1 gr of protein per lb bodyweight - enough rest/ sleep
@rogerwelsh23356 ай бұрын
Maybe sets of 4-8 would be a better heavy load study than reps of 2-4. To discount heavier sets based on 2-4 reps seems weird

How about a video on weighted dips and other calisthenics vs barbell exercises like you did for push-ups vs bench press?
@HouseofHypertrophy Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately there's no much good research on dips. But I do plan to make a video on calisthenics in general soon!

At 11:38 you mention no shoulder extension happens during the eccentric phase of a vertical pressing movement. If you consider shoulder extension as purely referring to bringing the arm behind your back, then yes, no shoulder extension takes place. However, during the eccentric portion, the long head of the triceps shortens at the shoulder joint, while it lengthens at the elbow joint. Arguably, vertical presses would be as bad as horizontal presses for long head development, as it’s ROM is limited.

I know kickbacks allow the tricep long head to fulley contract.. Is this fact is compulsory for a serious growth of that long head???
@HouseofHypertrophy2 жыл бұрын
Difficult to say without research. However, acheving a maximal shortening postition (as the long head probably achieves with kickbacks) is probably not neccessary for optimal muscle growth. I say this because there was study finding that partial range of motion leg extensions during the bottom portion (where the quads are stretched) produced more hypertrophy than a full range of motion on the leg extension. Feel free to check out a video where I detailed this research, titled "Full Rnage of Motion is NOT Optimal for Building Muscle". In essence, this suggests that achieving a stretch of a muscle may be more important than fully shortening it. Thus, I think that is possible overhead extensions (which achieve a good stretch of the long head) may be better than kickbacks (which minimally stretch the long head, but shortens it a lot) for long head growth. Hope this all makes sense.

I found all compound and most isolation exercises didnt hit the medial triceps except Kickbacks that do hit it well. Its unfortunate you can use heavy wts for this exercise but for hypertrophy high reps and abit more volume work for medial triceps.

All 3 heads attach to 1 tendon in elbow no matter what exercises you do all 3 heads work u can not separate heads physically impossible there are only bad exercises that will destroy elbows don't do any overhead triceps extension and no heavy lying extension guaranteed destroyed elbows lying decline dumbbell extensions one of the best and I can't go heavy
