Thank you so much - I recently started doing dips and was so bothered by the fact that I felt is so much in my shoulders (not a good feeling either. I was going down too far as I figured you wanted to get a full range of motion on the tri-cep. I cannot wait for arm day to do this properly and hopefully not aggravate my shoulders in the process.
I love your videos. My blood starts to boil when I read such IDIOT comments that your information is not right. Amazes me that so many think just because a famous body builder did a certain exercise, that they were some how right. I can't imagine how annoying it is for you to read those comments and realize that you will never be able to reach that person because they are unwilling to see the truth. Our bodies are in many ways so strong, yet so fragile - ONE wrong move and that can be it. Sad people have to learn the hard way.
JUST MY PLUG FOR YOU JEFF! You are awesome and invaluable. THANK YOU! Only unfortunate thing is that I can spend an entire day going through your videos and get nothing done. LOL But I love it!

Jeff, how can close grip dips with the torso leaning forward be an ineffective triceps exercise because it's like a suspended pushup while the close grip pushup itself is an effective triceps exercise? It would seem to me that the triceps moves the same amount of weight in extending the elbow, regardless of torso angle. I do see how the amount of forward torso lean determines to what degree the chest can assist in moving the upper arm bone down and across the body from the shoulder joint. But I don't see how it can have any impact on the triceps' movement of the lower arm from the elbow joint. Close grip dips, pushups, and bench presses are harder because the grip is narrower. Torso angle has nothing to do with it. Consider this: If a close grip decline bench press works the tri's just as hard as a close grip flat bench press, then shouldn't a forward leaning narrow grip dip work the tri's just as hard as a vertical torso narrow grip dip?

I have just been working out for a month. I am retired at 56 years old and just went under 300lbs for the first time in a long time. So I'm way to heavy and out of shape to do your program. But I have been watching your videos for a while now and incorporating many of the exercises into my routine, and I'm seeing results. First the drop in weight and then a gain in weight from muscles forming again where there hadn't been any muscle for a long time. Then dropping weight again. In about a year when I have lost enough weight to do your program, I plan on doing every single level you offer. Thanks for the videos.

In this video at 5: 55 you state that one should not go down too far because -there's no need to go that far-. I was curious as to how you are basing that decision. In the old days people would go past the 90 degree angle and damage their rotator cuffs. But now many trainers are stating that going to (but not beyond) that 90 degree position is adequate. In the video when in the more upright position you seem to go about 45 to 60 degrees and then return to the original position. Please elaborate.

Went I went into the Army 8 years ago and was in the special operations community, I went from a 6'3 245lb muscular guy down to 218lbs and my entire body shrank dramatically due to the extreme endurance training. Now days post Military I'm a 250lb beast (all natural) and only workout 45 minutes max! So if you are going for size and your natural, I would suggest hitting the weights for less than an hour especially if your doing things right. Go aggressive and hard but smart!

Hey man,
Im sure you get a bunch of these and don't have time to check most of them but you mentioned overtraining you tri's. I am completely convinced I did that but I think its strange because the tricep does not hurt but it is only slightly different in color and twitches when I try to excersize it now. it has not healed in over 2 months. just curious if you had any idea what in the world it could be. Love the videos they help greatly

The first -sin- I find completely ridiculous. To me, this is a symptom of a wrong mentality that pervades most of the fitness culture. Solely focussing on muscles and INTENTIONALLY AVOIDING the strengthening of joints and connective tissues is utterly ill-advised, as it provides for an imbalanced body with weak links. You have to train your body as a whole and make it stronger as a whole. You could learn a lot from gymnastics.

Also, at 10: 12 you state that the viewers should be focusing on 20 to 30 minute workouts. Personally, I have a lot of time to work out, and have been doing so over the past two weeks. Normally, I take 2. 5 hours to complete my full upper body workout (chest, back, arms, abs. I don't believe that I would be able to achieve my goals in such a short amount of time, such as 30 or even 45 minutes. Please elaborate on this.

And just to add, my cousin was a professional body builder and competed in the biggest events back in the early 60's before steroids boomed and he said himself and most the other pros got huge off of mainly lots of steak and eggs! He would eat 2lbs of steak and 10 to 12 eggs per day with veggies and he lived a healthy man into his early 80's. So anyone still believing the cholesterol and fat myths might be missing out!

Dude, when keeping arm slightly bend backwards lying down in kickbacks, then the weight is not balancing restingly on the mere bones in topposition, but is in need of muscleworks to stabilise it on topposition, as topposition is still not mere balancing like as if straight up balancing weights.
But your videos are f. great, keep up the great work!
Thanks for many many good and great videos!
