Weighted dips or close grip bench press ?
-
[quote name='BartMan']yeah, I hate close grip bench. Dips are king for me (now shoulder is good). And just gooo sloooooow is just as effective as weighted I reckon.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Slow as while tilted forward will give the chest that stretch and pump to things twitching<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I have a dodgy left rotator so no dips for me. I do a bit of cgbp and cg pushups -
What about skullcrushers aka french press [URL]
<br />
<br />
They are pretty good - you can also do a standing variation using a heavy barbell. Nice alternative to the CGBP imo<br />
<br />
I like both Dips and CGBP but I don't have any elbow/rotator cuff problems to contend with. While I do them occassionally I always die when I do pushups with elbows tucking in close to the body - it burns ACT!!! it burns!! lol -
Skulls are good paekak, you're dead right and obviously you lift fuck all compared to what you bench. I find that you crap out without warning on those, when you think you have a rep or two left you get stuck.<br />
<br />
Did some CGBP at my mates gym place in town while waiting for him to serve someone, upstairs and out of sight so I didn't get any funny looks cos I was in jeans and a shirt. <br />
<br />
In any case shoulders are killing me today, not killing me softly either..... -
Good call Duluth, they are one of those exercises where form is going to give you the burn - too much weight and you just get sloppy - or a smack in the head when you drop the bar!

I think they're good cos you basically can't "cheat" with them. I find too much weight and the bar doesn't move, Momentum doesn't help like it does in other lifts. -
Fitness Guru Keith Norris at [url]http://theorytopractice.wordpress.com/[/url] doing some interesting tri-cep work using ARX - Adaptive Resistance training. Looks like a real tricep killer.<br />

super pump in the triceps today - super set old fashioned tricep pushdowns with skull crushers (3 sets) , and then three sets of single arm rope pushdowns with your arm going across the front of your body, standing side on to the cable machine. Arms felt the size of legs, but still looked like spaghetti!
