I actually do them every couple weeks I would say. My joints feel fine. Been doing them for more than a year now Im sure.

Excuse me if I dont accept your "guarantee." I have never seen you do anything in this board but try to disprove other people.

I never claimed to practice BBing either. Are you a BBer (that means you compete)? Im 6' and 300lbs, wouldnt you have "love handles" too?  ;D





what do you compete in ?

That's the most worthless exercise I've seen short of the numbnuts squatting on a half exercise ball.

ive been to at least 10 different gyms and silver bars are always 20-25lbs.  ive never seen a 45lb silver bar, maybe you are right but i bet this is not 45lbs

WTF? Olympic bars are almost always 'silver'. Normal people call it chromed though.

i also prefer color coded plates over plain black ones.

i don't see the point of using more weight than you can handle with proper form

they were almost like presses

doing this kind of "poundage", he must have some pretty "big" triceps.  ::)

I dont know? I dont even care. Its just an exercise I do almost every week and someone didnt believe me so I posted it. Bad form, not hitting the right muscle, and fake weights are just excuses as to why I can do it and you cant.

It is bad form but you CANNOT do that with good form (unless you can prove otherwise).
My triceps are wrecked from doing it as they are every week so how is it not effective?
The bar is most certainly 45lbs. Never seen a 7 foot bar that isnt unless its a hollow axle.
This exercise has helped me immensely with my overhead pressing. <<<that is all that matters.

Seriously though, please give them a try and prove me wrong.  :)
the point is that YOU CAN'T DO IT EITHER and that is proven by the video, all this bullshit like "i'm too big and not flexible to get my elbows closer" is an excuse, your arms are simply not strong enough to do that exercise with that much weight, you'd be using a 35 pound plate on each side MAXIMUM if you kept your elbows stationary and dropped the bar to the bottom of your head like you're supposed to.

With a username like "Lift4Size" you would think he'd try to give his tri's a full exension.
