Originally posted by JD8180 speaking of triceps, what are some good exercises to work the INSIDE of your triceps (when referring to the upside-down horseshoe shape, the side of the muscle closer to your body). i do a few exercises for the triceps, but it seems only the outside part of it is getting worked out and getting shape.

Dips, skull crushers(barbell press), and dumbbell presses

Originally posted by PHALPAX If you have a weak military press put a little extra time in building your triceps. Triceps are often the forgotten muscle, and they're one of the key muscles putting out in a military press (some argue even more than the shoulder). If you’re going for muscle strength, and not muscle endurance, NEVER do cardio before lifting weights. Cardio zaps the glycogen from the muscle and you will not push the muscle to its benchmark. I personally do cardio in the morning and lift at night.

yeah, i always do cardio in the mornings or the evenings of off days.

i'll see if working on the triceps will help, one of my friends does dips all the time and he can military press way more than me.

Originally posted by Fast Turtle Maybe someone can help me out here; I can't seem to get above 70lbs military press, like my deadlift has been steadily progressing from 100lb to 150lb, but I've plateaued with the 60-70lb military press max for a while now. I try to do cardio 3-4 times a week do, do you think that's holding me back? These are pretty small amounts to lift and I don't feel like I should be getting stuck there. I'm eating quite a lot too, between 75-100g protein daily and about 2500 calories on average total daily, mostly complex carbs. pre workout 40g dextrose post workout 40g maltodextrin 40g dextrose 50g whey protein usually 4 sets of 5-10 reps

need more info. Age, weight, male/female and what is your goal? Gain muscle, just fat loss, etc. Get 1g protein/lb body weight, or 2.5g/kg and u still need carbs or u will never put on muscle. The Dextrose/Maltodextrose is good, but if your plateauing, u need to change exercises and eating. Are u giving enough time for recovery? If your trying to gain weight(put on muscle) then u need to not do as much cardio or u need to eat even more to replenish what u are burning. When I hit a plateau, I'll take a few extra days off to allow for full healing, and change the exercises I do and adjust the diet. Also if u are using a lot of machines, thats the problem. Get away from those machines and grab some free weights. You will see u won't be able to use as much weight as the machines and u are using more muscles to do the same exercise.

Those are the best. Skull crushers work great for me. 100lb. skull crushers for the win!

Okay, my age is almost 23, my weight is about 170lbs, my height is 6'1", my gender is male with a probably testosterone deficiency (I used to be a transsexual female and was on testosterone inhibitors for the longest time, I went off them a while ago but the effects can be persistent).

My goal is to get lean and build some muscle. What I really, really wanna get rid of is the abdominal fat I've had for my whole life, I've tried cardio 4x weekly for 15 minutes plus weight training 3x a week and while every other part of my body is fairly lean, I still have about a one inch layer of ab fat that's driving me nuts. Any suggestions on how to get rid of that? Should I ease off weight training and just raise my cardio until it's gone, and then go back to more intense weight training, or will it come right back?

I use all free weights and give myself 1-2 days to recover.

cardio is definitely your best bet. but diet is also important. you can be running miles and miles a day; but if you are eating burger king and macdonalds, you're not getting anywhere.

put the fork down, fatty, and start eating healthier

Keep doing the weight training, but heres a case I'll recommend u to run on the treadmill, and do HIIT. You can look up how its done, but basically all u do is repeat this cycle about 10 times or until u can't do it anymore: warm up for 5 mins at a slow walk/jog, then increase the speed to about as fast as u can run...and run all out for about 2-3 minutes, then slow back down to a slow jog for 2 minutes..then repeat! HIIT is what is used to get the most stubborn fat loss for when u hit a wall like u have. Good luck! Just don't make the mistake of not eating as when your metabolism slows down, so does weight loss, or rather u will lose what lean muscle u have put on and maintain fat.

BTW...I'm assuming you are on a clean and proper diet!

Low insulin releasing multigrain/whole grain products and lean protein/meats and beans for the most part; though I eat some things like rice at supper and desserts every now and then I should probably cut down on. Caloric intake usually ranges from 1800-2500 calories per day, usually closer to 2500. I'll have a meal replacement shake after cardio or a whey protein shake after weight training usually.

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

I keep raping myself at the gym. I love that feeling of worked tight muscles! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!


Man fuck, I really want a bike though. I should ask for one for my birthday or Christmas or something.
