Arm Training For You

[Future]

Some of my favorite exercises. You can do this maybe once a week or maybe every 7-10 days.

Here's what I learned:
narrow grip benching: Yay for smith machine...yay for the suicide grip...
dips: extend too far at top...hyperextend the elbow...lower too quiclky causing tear
reverse tricep extension: hot chick!
dumbell skullcrushers: don't recommend but do them still once/twice a month .too hard on elbow He knows from exp. but they look great soo..
Curls: curling in the squat rack...use, a belt so you can get sloppy and not worry about your back
dumbell curls: hot chick extending the dumbell get too hard on elbow
preacher curl: ...strain a tendon...damage something at the bottom of the elbow

Disagree on the hot chick. Don't like it when girls have bigger arms than me .

Hyperextending the elbow sounds pretty painful.. I doubt anyone has strong enough triceps to crush their own elbow joint.

This kind of looks like a marketing vid for the guy moving the heavy weights.. Not very instructional.

Wow guess I was wrong about this board. By all means share your knowledge guys...by all means.

This is a general strength training board so we have an inherent bias against programs that target specific body parts. We also have a bias against the Smith machine (and machines in general).

What was your take on this board and what the forum members are looking for?

What I said before is exactly what remained with me after watching that video!
My intention was not to offend the OP. The ladies and gentlemen in the video probably worked very hard to get where they are. The narrator is however recommending exercises that are dangerous and has even admitted he has gotten injured doing them. Injuries can happen, but with good technique, can easily be avoided.
The exercises in the video may not be bad when performed correctly, but this is extremely poor for a training video. If anyone decides to do any of these exercises, I hope they will look elsewhere to find out what the correct form should be.
