>pic not related
>>36688960
a booty is always related
did skullcrusher a few days ago for the first time, loved it.
>>36688960
Going to the gym tomorrow for my second time, skull crushers good?
>>36688960
I can't do them, for some reason my right elbow makes a strange click sound when i do.
It doesn't hurt but i can "feel" something clicking and i'm worried i'll fuck my elbow up.
This doesn't happen when i do Dips/bench/Ohp
>>36688960
Do these instead. It's like a skull crusher but better

great triceps isolation exercise. Do compound lifts first then towards the end fit em in
>>36688960
Skullcrushers and Dips are godly.
they both put on crazy amount of mass...especially if you do them right.
>>36689251
What do you mean by do them right? They both seem pretty straight forward to me. Although I don't do them now, I do cable extension instead but thinking about switching over.
>>36689231
I have the same problem but on different things i havent tried skullscrushers in a while
I do push downs but should i start doing these too?
>>36689243
Thanks ^_^
I like 'skullcrushers' done on a decline bench (just a slight decline, nothing crazy) with an EZ bar, bringing the bar behind the head, keeping it close to my head though, at the bottom the bar ends up a little behind my head.
I like it better than bringing the bar right over your forehead, which feels dangerous and really limits the ROM. Plus bringing it behind the head you get a stretch on the tris. Gives good triceps DOMS (good if you like DOMS... bad if you don't).

Nothing wrong with push downs but it's so easy to cheat by using the body and lats. Probably better to stick with higher reps on pushdowns (especially if you're prone to cheating).
Can go heavier w/ a tricep extension on a bench because it's harder to cheat.
>>36688960
Yes. Yes they are GOAT. I hate seeing curl bros with shitty tries. Fucking triggered every time. Do sme variations. Ezbar, dumbell, straight bar. Mix in sume dips and enjoy filling out those dress shirts.
What working weight and what rep ranges/sets?
>>36689342
OP here
I'm a skelly and new to this
I did 4 sets of 15 reps with 5kg (pls no bully anons)
so are skullcrushers and dips the best exercises for building mass? i usually just do bench and cable work, i've never bothered with anything else, and my arms are ok but not great.

watch this. Made me realize I was really only doing half of a skullcrusher.
>>36689288
>I do push downs but should i start doing these too?
yes
>>36689342
I do 3x12
>>36689322
>>36689361
Senpai...
>>36689361
Doing low weights is pretty fun tho, ain't gonna bully for that.
You can really squeeze the fuck out of your muscles with lower weights. Love it!
>>36689383
How would 3x12 except for doing it until failure during the last set? GSLP kind of deal.
>>36689361
>thinking we'll bully someone for getting into the gym and taking the first steps toward fitness
im insulted anon

>How would 3x12 except for doing it until failure during the last set? GSLP kind of deal.
what do you mean?
3 x 12 is probably one of the most common rep ranges...
>>36689361
i really needed to fuck around more during high school
>>36689430
Doing 2x12 and the last set do as many as I can (IE to failure) Maybe getting closer to 20 reps for the last set.
If you haven't heard about that, look up GreySkull Linear Progression. Really fun program.
>>36689398
BREH
>>36689497
Yea, ive done GSLP familio...
but there is no need to use Greyskulls progression plan on it.
When I can do 3x12, I move up weight.
B R E T H R E N
>>36689532
I guess I forgot to mention that I'm following GSLP right now, and I really like doing that 1xF set. That's why I'm asking. I'm guessing it would neither do me any good or any bad by doing it. Just curious.

>>36689597
yea the progression on GSLP is super useful. I have used it in the past on many things, but they were usually heavy compounds, not assistance work.
Do it if you like it though. No harm in it.

>>36689361
decrease reps, increase weight
>>36689772
Ok I will anon the next time
I've been doing Skull Crushers since I started, but recently swapped em for bodyweight dips at the end of my workout. Usually 3 x F.
I feel like my triceps have exploded in size since then.
>>36689588
Aaaand I'm in love
