>doing triceps pushdown full stack>guy walks up to me gesturing about my elbows>ask him to show me how to do it>"can you lower the weight">lower it>he cant push it>Had to lower it to 5 stacks to juice out 5 reps barelyWhy do DYELs like this
>>76713459Wish I was that guy, my triceps are so badass I can't train pecs>do fliesFront delts too badass. Times are hard.
He was probably right though.
>>76713473Breaking form and leaning on the cable slightly with your bw to juice a rep or two on heavy weights is normal, he couldnt even show me the form on normal weights.
>>76713487In that case yeah you're right, those two final gritty reps breaking form is OK.
I like triceps pulldowns so much bros. It even trains abs
I love upright Dips, great triceps squeeze.
>>76713473why would someone go up to a stranger in the gym and offer unsolicited form advice? this is autistic dyel behavior
>>76713469Same issues. I started doing cable chest press. The machine I use has a pad to put your ass against, and you just lean forward and let the pecs do all the work. Much better development than bench.
>>76713469Do peccy deccy you dummy
>>76713459Show us your triceps babe
>>76713459I wish a nigga would come correct my form. That shit never happens to me
>>76713459Probably some science based retard
>>76713469That doesn’t even make sense. If your triceps are stronger than your pecs, then they will never be the limiting factor on your lifts. If you’re going to failure, your pecs should always give out before the triceps if your triceps are indeed much stronger than your pecs
>>76713469Try fixing your technique. Wider grip and a flat back. Only do the bottom half like Ronnie. www.youtube.com/shorts/lIBzVOpSKnY
>figured out I can use my ab crunch machine to do tricep pushdownsone more exercise I don't have to fuck around and load a different bar for
>>76713459too many fake anatolys out there
>>76713459what is holding humerus in place in triceps pushdowns? why elbow is not just riding up with shoulder flexion? pecs look flexed in the picture, delt looks flexed also lat is also flexed - triceps doesn't even looks worked upon here lol >but the long head yeah it will be abused over medial and lateral heads cause the motion is't what it's advertised for that's why u're triceps pushing whole stack lol
>>76716395>cause the motion isn't what it's advertised for
>>76713459Anyone using full stack for tricep pushdowns is almost always doing shit form, using their shoulders and letting the stack smash down at the end. If you have 20+ inch arms then fair enough, otherwise I think you're one of these douches.
>>76716406>Anyone using full stack for tricep pushdowns is almost always doing shit formbut there is no "good" form bot :D >>76716395if there is please enlighten me :D
>>76716459>but there is no "good" form bot :DOk? That doesn't mean that shit form doesn't exist. Squatmornings are shit form, crossfit "pullups" are shit form, trying to do pushdowns with tree the weight your triceps can actually handle and is shit form. There's always "that guy" in the gym doing this, usual a flabby boomer or delusional dyel, using too much weight, grunting and smashing the weight stack and generally embarrassing themselves.
>>76716395>what is holding humerus in place in triceps pushdowns?tricep long head, lats, rear delts
>>76713459Can someone summarise tricep pushdown form?I often feel like I'm bringing my chest into it, even though I stand straight
>>76716969don't let it go all the way up, otherwise you start initiating incorrectly. just have elbows pinned to your sides like a hingealso it doesn't hit the long head of the triceps very hard so you need at least one other exercise to compliment it, like skull crushers, though that's more difficult form to explain
