I just started with the Fierce 5 program and after the 3rd week I immediately noticed that my triceps are performing weaker than my biceps (might not be the case though. The program is split into upper and lower body A and B training 4 times a week with 1 rest day in the middle (ie. upper A, lower A, rest, upper B, lower B, rest, rest. The upper A day consists of close grip bench bb, incline bench bb, lat pulldown, bb row, and then a triceps & biceps superset. At the end I usually do 20kg biceps curls using EZ bar, but I'm lucky if I can manage 1-2 proper reps of skullcrushers using the same weight and EZ bar (close grip and perpendicular form. Obviously I'm doing eccentric skullcrushers (pressing it up, so I do those to failure.
What should I do? Should I just carry on using the same weights until I'm able to do 6-8 good reps before I increase the weights? Or should I reduce the weight so I can do both concentric and eccentric when performing skullcrushers?

JEFF PLEASE READ! (Heart problems)
Hey Jeff,
My name is Paul I am 20yo, 175cm, 73kg and I'm doing gym for 1. 5 years. I've taken in the beginning serious mass from ON and creatine from BSN and gym 5 days a week. I haven't took any supplements since 6 months. While I started doing gym and until now I have experienced palpitations that got worsen while the time passed until I developed some tachycardia where my heart suddenly beats chaotic fast at rest and it returns to normal suddenly.
Are there any trigger factors that might have caused my problems?
If you can answer me I would be so grateful!
Also you can do a video on this subjects as many young people I think they suffer heart problems that they're not aware about!

Terrific tip! I have been searching for a -sweet spot- in my body position relative to the cable, and I believe I had the best fixed position worked out, but I was sacrificing some -range of motion- with that position. I-m 72 and always looking for anything that strengthens my general balance - this gives me that along with a full range of motion for my triceps. I switch my leading foot every set so I don-t get -lopsided- lol! There are good men/coaches on the -tube- but the combination of your coach/PT expertise is just what an old guy like me needs to protect my body from injuries that would rake me out of the gym again - THANK YOU!

J,
Hi Jeff I have a problem with my left tricep. My left tricep is a non-responder. I keep my elbow tucked in at all times and try to focus on the tricep. I don't feel my left tricep working I only feel the tricep tendon working. I fear that might lead to an injury. My right tricep works fine and it always engaged. My right tricep is always bigger than my left because my left tricep just doesn't work. Form is the same on both sides and I'm not leaning to the left or right. What should I do?

This tip and the one about engaging your triceps at the beginning of an inclined bench curl have made a huge difference for my arms. Lots of people have a habit of touching another person upper arm for different reasons and I get comments about how hard and big my arm felt to them. and I'm 72 - thanks Jeff!

Isn't that easier if You stand (both feet together) at Your starting position and then as You go down, You twist Your hands (thumbs in) and pull the ends of line apart to the sides of body? No dancing around machine in pretty inbalanced position and You get pretty good contraction.

I hate the coating that is on almost every tricep rope handle. Seems to make your hands slip even more under heavy loads. Does anyone know where I can get a tri rope that isn't coated with that slick snot?

+ATHLEAN-X jeff may i ask a question? moving back during the exercise allow you to use the kinetic energy of your body in movement, does it influence the efford in the exercise or dosn't it?

I wanted to be funny in way like -yeah, so I do a half rep, I step back and do the other half-, but during writting he really did that and I feel dumb now: D I love your creativity!
