Going by his sig being nerd-tastic, id call BS.

Ive done a press up with my missus stood on my shoulder blades, and ive turned her crosswise in bed and benched her lol remember to roll em over (assuming female !!) because you will hurt their boobies otherwise lol

lol... that's what most people think as well, until i show them

.. Been doing my forearm training since I was 15. I'm now 20.

Edit: btw.. Has any1 ever suffered from inflamation in the elbow after a tricep workout?

Fair enuff, you do it for kung fu or something? Sounds almost impossible to do a 3 point push up with someone on your back, the instability caused by the fingertip stance would halve your chest and tricep strength. You must be a beast on the bench press!

I cant say much on the nerd front, im an IT repair guy, was the first accredited member of the general public to finish GTA4 on 360, and i got 17.5in arms lol

ouch.. lol no not kung-fu, don't believe in following any1 but Bas rutten and *edit* Steve Morris

.. But I've been following Bruce Lee's: The art of expressing the human body. Top book if anyone is really into maximising physical strength (not just getting big).

further edit:
In terms of tricep strength, I've found that's my favourite/best workout regime at the gym. But looking for a slightly better workout for them as not really experiencing that "burn" sensation anymore after working out. Anyone have any tips/workouts.. I currently do a straight forward tricep press, and one over your head with a star hand grip (terrible on names of exercises

). (despite only being about 9 stone, but solidly built) the tricep

heavy close bench, close grip dips, higher rep ranges maybe (i found this works really well for that tricep burn)

for high rep, are we talking 15 - 20 or more?

PAz · 13 Sep 2008 at 13:05

I have found recently doing lying french press with this rep range: 15, 12, 12, 12, 8 really works my triceps hard.

FeFiDoh · 14 Sep 2008 at 16:58

I did front raise and side raises sat down the other day felt brutal lol

For those that do deadlifts what kind of set/rep range you do? Would something like 12 10 8 6 be good?

PAz · 14 Sep 2008 at 17:14

I rarely do work sets above 5/6 reps when deadlifting

Depends what your goals are I suppose

FeFiDoh · 14 Sep 2008 at 17:20

How many sets do you do on that rep range then? Not done deads for a little while due to various reasons but going to start doing em again. Will put them on a monday when im proberly feeling my best.

I'm finally getting the hang of skull crushers, damn were they difficult !

Is it worth getting an EZ-bar for these?

Morba · 15 Sep 2008 at 21:46

I do them with an EZBar myself.

Ironic Namesake · 15 Sep 2008 at 21:51

Is there any real advantage to using an ez-bar rather than a standard olympic bar? If not I'll just stick to the bar I have now

Morba · 15 Sep 2008 at 21:52

I find it easier on the wrists during the range of motion. also depending on how you hold it, you can lower it further due to the bar bending around your head :]

Ironic Namesake · 15 Sep 2008 at 21:57

May give it a go once I start doing heavier weights on them - although it is tempting to use my 20% eBay discount voucher

Dj_Jestar · 16 Sep 2008 at 01:12

My wrist hurt if I do something like bicep curls or skull crushers with a straight bar do to the extra twist needed to hold it. E-z bar relieves this "twist".
