I call bullshit on this. A little learning is a dangerous thing for some people. The personal training business is a sham and disgrace as far as I am concerned.
The problem with doing lying triceps extensions with barbells is that it is easy to injure the elbows. If you lower the bar to above your face you are courting disaster because the triceps have to work really hard to stop the weight from hitting your face. Doing extensions from under the head while lying is also dangerous for the joints. Larry Scott came up with a solution. He starts from the extended position above the chest and uses a fairly close grip. Then he lowers the weight to the top of the tummy and without letting it touch his body he moves it is a 'circle' near his chest until his elbows are pointing straight up. At that point in the movement the bar is going forward but upward. You end up over your face and then continue for more reps in that circular motion. There is no pain if you warm up thoroughly then do them this way. It is a very effective movement and eventually you can handle heavy weights and have larger arms for your hard work. The EZ-Curl bar held in the closest grip takes some of the strain off the wrists so allows more weight to be used. Larry is a very analytical person and has worked out exactly what to do to make exercise more effective.
all my mass and density from free weights... machines i use as finishing movementsno contest
Great answer Vince way to bash without backing your arguement. I thought you were some kind hypertrophy expert. Ok Vince, I'll humor you, what part of that fact is bullshit?
@ hulktron......who said that??
I guess Vince is ignoring my question.
