Tricep Workout for Mass (HARDGAINER EDITION)

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

m going to show you a hardgainer tricep workout for mass that will help you to build bigger triceps if you stay consistent with it. Jesse is back to demonstrate the tricep exercises while I switch roles and step behind the camera to give you a trainers eye view of the action. As we get started, we select a triceps exercise that would normally not be thought of to be appropriate in a hardgainer tricep workout. That exercise is the triceps kickback. The reason why we include this movement is because one of the biggest issues for hardgainers when it comes to building bigger triceps (and all muscles for that matter) is a lack of a laser focused mind muscle connection. The tricep kickback exercise is going to allow you to put the triceps in its most shortened position. While this may not equate to the strongest contraction because of something called active insufficiency, it will allow the more novice lifter to immediately feel what a tricep contraction should feel like because of the shortened position of the muscle. The shortened position would have the arm extended behind the body with the elbow extended fully (or as full as you can if you have elbow issues) while keeping it tucked tight against your sides. After doing 3-4 sets of 10 reps to failure here, we move onto the next exercise in this triceps workout for mass, which is the rocking tricep pushdown. By utilizing the rocking range of motion here, we can ensure that the tension stays on the tricep for longer. If you realize that the line of force is going through the cable, then you would want to make sure that the cable stayed perpendicular to the forearm for the entire exercise if possible. Jesse will start upright and close to the bar and then rock backwards allowing the cable to stay more perpendicular to the forearm throughout. To maximize the volume that could be compromised by the use of heavier weights for a hardgainer, I like to include a drop set to a different exercise that allows the lifter to continue

PLEASE MAKE A HARD GAINER PROGRAM! I Would buy it SO FAST! You have MaxSize. Is that for hard gainers? These videos seem to have VERY specific tips for those coming from -hard gainer- situations, but your programs don't -seem- to be as specific! These tips are invaluable. but I'm not sure how to fit them into my existing program. I WANT A HARDGAINER PROGRAM? PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY!
Love all the work you do here. Thank you.

Hey Jeff. Thanks for the video. Just to make sure, is this the full triceps workout routine that you recommend for hardgainers? So a single set starts with the kickback to feel the muscle connection, move on to some of the heavier proportion of the workouts til I completely burn the triceps, and finish with the kickback again? I was just a little bit unsure haha. Thanks for the awesome videos Jeff as always!

Jesse is a real inspiration! He's come a long way and it's because of your great leadership and being a role model. Great work to both of you and I am using these videos to get back into shape (and lose weight) myself. I want to get more -line- definition (if that's even a term to describe it) in the side area of my pecs- connecting to the rib cage. Are there videos like that?

Having some issues with triceps. Started bulking up slowly, and while my tri's are increasing in size, I'm losing definition on the lateral head, it just appears larger/bulkier. I'm fairly limited on what my -gym- has to offer so my workouts are fairly repetitive. Are there any particular exercises that can help isolate the lateral head of the tricep?

Hi Jef, my question is that how to improve my triceps while my arms are hyper flexible. It's opposite to Jessie's chipped elbow joints. My arms extended further back than straight. Due to this longer head of my tricep is merged with my shoulder and its not separately visible. Please suggest what can I do to improve my triceps.

Hey, can anyone say what's wrong with me, I can't feel the burn no matter how hard I train. I could train hard with big weights nonstop (8-12 reps, sometimes I have been doin 1-5 with weights I cant even move to end of motion) and that's what I gonna try out, but I think this is not normal.

I usually do tricep kickbacks with 10kg dumbbel and i feel it alot more in my right tricep than my left tricep but ill manage to do usually same sets for both triceps and usually hold and can stop dumbbel and slowly let it go. But still i cant feel it not so much in my left tricep.

Thank you so much for the vids. Six foot tall and barely 160 pounds. The scientific and nutritional information is extremely beneficial for me to understand what has been going on all these years! Can't wait to put this all into action. It starts now

People are wondering why jeff was shaking while holding the camera. The truth is he's neither bad at holding a camera nor he has any nervous system problem. Actually, he was switching hands while holding the camera to avoid muscle imbalances: D

Wow Jeff, you really do suck at camera! However, you make up for it with information and instruction. just please don-t make a habit of it, find another way; that-s your thing man, finding a better, more beneficial way! And thanks for that!
