Luckily i read this thread, i used to do it when i first started (the rotating thiggy), didnt know it is bad . I still see those PT doing to their client for those exercises, dam.

Arnold shoulder press is it? I rike it!

Some people cakap doing bench press using smith machine isn't good, because the machine is helping you, so not 100% effort. And some cakap you can't control the bar while going down, also tarak good.

I have noticed a lot of people in the forum neglecting their tricep exercises... (based on some surveying in the workout journal section). From what I see, most of the members only do 1 tricep exercise eg. skullcrushers or tricep cable pushdown for a few sets and count it as a tricep day.

I have noticed my puny triceps since the last month and have started working them out in the past 3 weeks. 1 day a week, starting with triceps first then moving on to biceps. I noticed a rather significant growth in arm size. 3 weeks ago my arms were 13" without pump, now they are 13.7" unpumped. As most of us know, our triceps make out 2/3 of our arm size, and so often we neglect it. I do a 4 supersets of dumbbell pullovers, lying single arm tricep extensions and dumbbell tricep kickbacks. After that I go on to 3 sets of standing single dumbbell tricep extensions.

Note: This comes from a guy who does not work on cables or barbells, without a proper diet. Just purely dumbbells. Imagine if you incorporate in more exercises.

Don't neglect your triceps!
Just sharing.
(Don't tell me shit like, I'm not focusing on my arms right now, I need a bit more chest or lats first. I always believe that if you want to lift, give it your 100% and make sure you exhaust that muscle group, not just do some half assed sets and count it a day. If not don't bother wasting your time.)

haha, tricep is the major part of u arms, ur biceps only cosist of 2 piece of muscle and ur tricep consist of 3, tats y, big arms = tricep. Bicep is a "beach" to be trained.

haha..yea..i agree.. i do skull crushers..a sanding version of it...tricep extensions.... reverse push ups and also kickbacks.. ( these suck to HELL )

I hate kickback

i only do cable extension and tricep push down and sometime i will do tricep extension.

Which brings me back to the point that people don't do enough tricep exercises, if not none.

Sh1t, this is an emergency.

I just noticed that my 10lbs whey bag is almost empty and I need an emergency refill as well as a new container of creatine.

I usually order from egonutritions and address it to my home in penang then I get it from home when I go back to Penang, I don't want to address it to my current hostel address because I'm afraid those security guards or other people staying in the hostel will take my stuff away because they just leave the mail on outside at the main entrance.

To those in Melaka, if you guys order your whey tru the net (eg: Egonutritions) and where do you address it to?

There's only maybe two or three guys who frequent my gym who actually look like they know what they're doing. Nearly everyone else just comes in, does a few sit ups, some bicep curls with terrible form and some bench presses before walking out smugly with the 'now I've done that, I'm fit' look on their faces.

I never, or at least try not to neglect any muscle groups. Lots of stuff to do for triceps, and I see people only doing cable pulldowns.

Do 100kg only la. It ain't that hard. I did it on the 2nd time I deadlifted. Yea Dan, exactly my point. I like you. You're gonna outgrow me soon...

Wow, I didn't know there was such a thing called the gym rakyat. Looks decent. I wonder why he rated it 1/5 stars. Where else there is gym rakyat besides in KL?

I use the gym in the Sg. Long clubhouse, since I'm a member and I can walk there in 3 minutes.

Heh, we'll have to see about that.

I'm hoping I have it in my genes to grow a bit taller, though. xD My dad's 5'11", which is a pretty ideal height to me. So, yeah. =x


And, also. 3 posts with back double bi's in a row.

Hey you stay in Sg. Long? I stay at Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, quite near ur place. Maybe we could workout together sometime.

So no more workouts named after Arnold?

Maybe, maybe.

I thought pedro was talking about DB bench presses?

Arnold shoulder presses also requires rotating your arms. Same concept, different exercises.

LoL'd.

Also, would like to see Gym Rakyat everywhere. They need one in PJ near Kelana Jaya/Damansara Utama.

I'd second one in DU,coz i live there.
