Thanks for tuning in, hope you guys enjoy the video. One mistake that I do want to correct in this video is with skull crushers. You can in fact go behind the head with this exercise as long as you're doing it in a controlled way without using the momentum from your lats. The same points still apply though, make sure you keep your elbows tight and dont swing with the shoulders. Also as far as excessively arching on the bench press i meant to have khalid lift his hips off the bench. That would be considered excessive. As long as your hips stay on the bench you should be alright.
@@mohank1951 whenever fits your schedule, the time of day will not dictate whether your muscles grow or not. Testosterone is considered higher in the morning which would benefit although I'm not sure how much truth there is in that claim nor can I back it up.
I’m training alone in the gym. I was overwhelmed because I had no experience at all. I finally made up my mind and started working out. This videos are helping me a lot. Thanks!
ZC94601 Hopefully you’ve gotten the hang of it by now. It never hurts to ask for help tho, I’d rather have someone show me correct form rather than get hurt
Great job mate - that’s a very big step you took! A little advice I’d say is to track and learn your progress. I did this by using my Instagram as my “journey book” Hope this helps you
Good stuff. These days anyone can do it! RUclips is such a great resource and I'm happy you decided to make a change to keep your body fit!! It says your comment is 2 years old I bet you're doing great
I was alone too. Was so nervous of getting judged. Just do it though! Don't let that fear consume you. You can always ask somebody. Usually ppl at the gym are very helpful
if s/he's a stranger, don't do that unless s/he is at serious imminent danger (e.g deadlifting and his legs are already wobbling uncontrollably due to excessive weight). it's actually a gym etiquette issue walking up to people and coaching them on proper form. although i would commend you for your initiative, maybe best to tell the gym admin of your concern and let them to talk to the guy instead. maybe the gym admin folks can even confirm that the guy is doing OK. none of us are always right, you know. again, don't do walk up to strangers giving unsolicited advice unless s/he is at serious imminent risk. it's a gym etiquette thing.
I only do that when I know the person is new at gym. When is a old member I just look away because I know he won't change by listen to me. Just like I won't change by anyone including gym teachers because they don't know what I'm doing and think is wrong without proper knowledge.
I don't tell people shit. It's their fault unfortunately. While I wish I had someone to teach me when I was new, at the time I would've been annoyed. It ain't my job.
People would prefer injuries rather than be corrected is my experience. Maybe some totally new people just starting would listen I let the budybuilders wreck themselves.

My best exercise is leg press. I sometimes will just have my tips of my toes pushing the weight but try do a more of a push. Usually do about 400-600kg. I doubt it is great technique I do but happy enough and currently maxing the machine at 680kg.
I actually started doing dips,pull ups as half reps first and a few weeks later i started doing 1-3 reps the way i was supposed to,your body can adapt and you will develop strength for the movement just know when you do them,do them as negatives go down slow,and try to hold it you will gain strength in those areas and start to do them naturally.
I'm a Physical therapist assistant with a bachelors degree in exercise physiology. And I still learned a load of information with a lot of advice that I've taught my patients and clients. Great work!
My experience with his vids is mixed. In pretty much every vid of his where he has a list of some sort, there is at least one item that is outdated, if not incorrect/bro science. I think he's coming from a sincere position, but as he says, his knowledge is based on lifting and working as a trainer. He doesn't really have the depth of knowledge that some other YTers have in this area (and I think we've all seen our share of trainers in gyms we wouldn't trust), but he's doing his best. I'm not sure why tricep extensions were included at all, as the info differs depending on what sort of handle your using (as he pointed out). And doing skull crushers with your arms back a little more is more efficient and beneficial than the conventional way that has you at almost complete rest in the neutral position. But it's often part of a four-part movement that incorporates a small pullover as well. I find this guy likeable, though, and it's not likely that anyone's going to get hurt by the info he's putting out there. Hopefully he's still curious so that his knowledge will continue to grow. There's nothing wrong with doing a "Things I wasn't quite right about" vid every once in awhile. :)
For skull crushers i like to bring the bar behind my head and contracting the bicep on the way down for the full range of motion. Also i dont bring it all the way vertical but ending slighly backwards with stretched arms. I also doing it with dumbells since a couple of months, its better for my elbows to stay in position.
yeah Ive seen a video where a guy explains why its better to go behind the head and do like a 2part motion and not just make an isolation exercise out of this where you dont move your upper arms. I also believe theres less stress on your elbows that way. Same with triceps extension..
Yeah, I like to go behind tha head when doin skullcrushers also because I get tha full range of motion that way. I also don’t move my arms vertical at tha top of tha lift, since that’s when the lats get engaged.
Those are the exact same mistakes I went through. Thank God I didn't injure myself in the process of learning a proper form 😀Also, not knowing what and how much to eat was one of my biggest mistakes. That's why I always recommend Dietarize for any beginners trying to put some muscle or lose some fat first before bulking. You will save yourself so much time.
One of the single most important things for beginners to do st the gym is use low weight and focus on form instead of number of reps or weight. He also you learn the correct motion, conditions you to regular exercises and prevents injuries
2:00 if you want to target hamstrings and glutes more you put your foot farther forward and keep your knee behind the toe. If you want to target quads more put your knee above your toe and keep your feet a little closer together. 4:40 you want to “stick your chest out” as much as possible and create a nice big curve in your upper back so you are grounded properly and your chest is more optimized to work instead of your delts look up Jeff Nippard bench press tips for this. 9:02 you also want to move your torso backwards a tad (half step backwards) on the second half of the push down to keep a constant pull on the muscle in contraction 10:45 your lats only take over if your arms move. If you lock your elbow above your neck/chin then you keep your tricep contracted throughout the whole workout which increases metabolic stress and helps to build muscle.
So on the lunges I have always thought not to have Knee over toe, but recent events AKA talking to a D1 strength coach, I have now changed that thought. You get more ankle and knee mobility if you do knee past toes even if it is more "stress" as long as its not too much weight. I believe mobility is more important in the lunges and split squats, but with heavier weights you shouldn't go knee past toes.
Noone is perfect, everybody does mistakes and there no one who knows everything, but it always surprises me, when I see people at the gym with absolutly NO control over their body and no feeling how to execute an exercise, even without coaching or looking up on the internet. For me its just logical to perform these exercises the right way, it just feels right. Especially when thinking about which muscle to address proper. For so many people its just not natural.
A key element of exercising is auditing your form. It’s beneficial to have a gym partner go with you from time to time and check with them to measure your form, but also utilizing mirrors when you’re alone. Injuries and imbalances don’t happen overnight, it’s a gradual process over time usually because there is a lack of mobility/flexibility/stability that causes the range of an exercise to change. Before you know it, boom tendinitis.
Just starting back up after a 20 year break. Not ready to go full out just yet. Still getting restarted however; I really like that you offer a good program to start Serious workouts with all the amenities. Keep posting. Your an awesome guide
Been watching your videos for a while now. Got to admit this is a good reminder for me and great video for anyone new to lifting. Sometimes the basics get forgotten and leads to injury. 💪🏾
Mike from Elk Grove California age 63. I'm glad to see a segment on "Do and Don't " at the gym. Im a former bodybuilder and I'm aware famalier with good technique. I I work out at at a gym and I see constant member's not properly controlling not only the weights but lack of proper form. Needless to say, on a day to day basis PT's just hangiut behind the front counter not walking around to assist those that need even alittle guidance. Just the other day I took it upon myself to help a young adult with their bench press as he was only bring the bar halfway down, fortunately he was willing to listen and learn. I'm physically challenged, full spinal hardware, but on January 30, 2022 I set a New Record for my age and weight class Decline Bench Pressing 325 lbs. Its posted on RUclips as "325 lb Decline Bench Press Age 63 Wt 189."
I remember doing the exercise on the thumbnail how it was supposed to be done and getting told by some random dude to do it the first way, thank god for videos like this for not having me change it to the wrong way
I'm definitely down to do this 6 week challenge! I haven't commented often but I always watch your videos. Seems like recently you've become more confident with your content. Keep up the good work
There is form for average results and form for exemplary results. Partial benches , heavy swing curls, close grip db presses are advanced and legitimate temporary plateau breakers. Used often in Olympic and powerlifting. In bench, for example..lifting the 1st 1/3 only or the last third, if your lift is weak there. Same for overhead press.
For the skull crushers there are people who have longer arms who need to bring it down above their head. As long as you don't feel lat activation and you keep your elbows in you should be good
i agree, my triceps always feel sore when i do it above y head, its all about controlling the weight and feeling the stretch on the triceps. but if u move ur arms and let ur lats do much of the work u wont get that tricep feel.
I feel so lucky to have trained for 5 years in a humble gym with humble trainers who taught me things the right way. Never needed to pay a personal trainer. By watching this video everything I already know makes perfectly sense and is coherent. This channel, for as far as I've seen, is the most authentic on the RUclips platform.
What he is trying to say it that you shouldn´t swing your skull crushers. Other than that its just a different position from what Jeff says. As long as you keep your arms locked in a position it shouldn´t make that much of a difference in effectiveness i think.
Wow, this video was a game-changer for me! I never realized I might be doing these exercises wrong until now. Your breakdown of the proper form and common mistakes was incredibly helpful. Can't wait to hit the gym armed with this knowledge. Thanks for the invaluable tips!
Have to disagree on the skull crusher's depending on which head of the tricep you want to emphasize, as another comment says Jeff from AthleanX also says the same and I personally get a much better contraction on the triceps doing it the "lat" way this dude says. Just my opinion and personal preference. Good luck with the gains everyone 💪❤️
Well . . . The good news is that I'm doing many of these exercises correctly . . . The gooder news is that now I can correct those exercises I was doing incorrectly! Thanks. Good vid.
Thank you for explaining these issues. I am working at home by myself, and I really appreciate the explanation of how lifting wrong can injure muscles instead of building them. I stopped doing 3 exercises due to your advice, and feel less pain in my body after training.
The skull crushers going behind the head I completely disagree with, I've noticed if you go right behind the head you get a much greater range of motion. If you lock your shoulders and bend just at the elbow you're not using your lats now the second that you turn it into a reverse row motion yes then you are using your lats, but if you're just bending your elbows no.
this info helps so much, i think about form more than anything because I want to truly get stronger without getting injured or losing effectiveness. Didn’t expect to find good videos on youtube but this was super helpful and well explained. Thanks
yeah I think if you do skull crushers the way this guy is explaining, youre risking elbow injury. Now I lower the bar behind the head and dont have pain and also have bigger gains since its not purely isolation exercise.
Some of this I already knew and some gave me an improved perspective on things I only thought I knew. Answers to the questions we all occasionally ask ourselves (into the mirror as we work out) are the ones you have an uncanny ability to focus upon quite often. There is no worse enemy to one's consistency than to think you may be executing your routine to less than maximum advantage. Your videos all seem to keep this all-important constant in view. Very well presented and highly-detailed Mike Kirwan - Kenmore, WA
Hello, really great explanation in the exercises. I understand what you mean about keeping the elbow in the same position during the tricep exercise. If you look at the anatomy and function of the triceps, you can see that, beyond extension, the triceps also perform adduction and retroversion in the shoulder joint. That’s why, in my opinion, it would make sense to guide the triceps from front to back as well. This way, you’re actually training the full range of motion (ROM). Let me know what you think about this!
I used to not be able to do 45's at all on bench. Then when I started benching heavier weights closer to my max at only 3-4 reps on push days, I'm now at 185 on my max so far.
I have enrolled in most gyms in Penang Island. Fitness first, Zero Fitness, Seven Star Fitness, One And Fit Concept, Celebrity fitness and last one was in Penang Times Square before Covid breakout. Usually, discontinued due to traffic jam, lack of parking or the gym close down.
Very nice video the only thing with skull crushers it will depend on arm length. For me the nose is the sweet spot making sure you push/break your elbows forward when lowering really helps with any elbow pain
This video is awesome! You did an amazing job explaining, illustrating and giving both examples and non-examples of what and what not to do! I saw points where I could definitely tighten up my gym routine. And I also recognized a lot of things that I have seen other people do in the gym that causes injury. *WHEW!* You just earned another subscriber and I will be tuning in more often! Great job man, and thanks for putting the time and effort!
Is the bridging advice specifically DB press? Because every powerlifter and powerlifting coach I've seen coaches a pretty intense bridge for a standard barbell bench press.
Thanks for tuning in, hope you guys enjoy the video. One mistake that I do want to correct in this video is with skull crushers.

Instead of laughing at people doing the form wrong people just need to be polite and go to that person and tell them nicely

Whenever my form is wrong I can feel my body telling me it’s like a pain rather than a strain if that makes sense
Exactly
I have no form at all
Yea, but some poses aren't necessarily bad for your body but the just make you use unwanted muscles instead of the only the right ones
That sounds like its from a training guide book. perfect description of the stress from exercises
Yes
The bent over row one really helped. I could always feel my back rounding as I would fatigue. The looking at your chest in the mirror helped a lot!

I've been doing dips below parallel for so long.. thanks for the info! Great explanation.
Wow, this video was a game-changer for me! I never realized I might be doing these exercises wrong until now. Your breakdown of the proper form and common mistakes was incredibly helpful. Can't wait to hit the gym armed with this knowledge. Thanks for the invaluable tips!

@@andymorris5878 yss there are no others time links,so i have to put it
You are doing great job sir, keep it up
me watching this with a bag of chips : " yeah i can do that"
I made all those mistakes with dips and dumbbell presses..for years. Now I’m working through injuries on both shoulders
Have to disagree on the skull crusher's depending on which head of the tricep you want to emphasize, as another comment says Jeff from AthleanX also says the same and I personally get a much better contraction on the triceps doing it the "lat" way this dude says.
Just my opinion and personal preference. Good luck with the gains everyone 💪❤️
Same with rope
Well . . . The good news is that I'm doing many of these exercises correctly . . . The gooder news is that now I can correct those exercises I was doing incorrectly! Thanks. Good vid.
Thank you for explaining these issues. I am working at home by myself, and I really appreciate the explanation of how lifting wrong can injure muscles instead of building them. I stopped doing 3 exercises due to your advice, and feel less pain in my body after training.
Best Video ❤️
I’m can’t believe he had almost all the exercises I do in my workout in this video! It’s a sign. Thanks for the info!
That helped me asf man thanks and good luck
Thank you for the tips! I’ve only been going to the gym for a few weeks and this video was very informative, now I’m even more motivated
Max is the only guy that makes sense when it comes to building muscle naturally
8:19 cable triceps extension
9:04 lat pulldown
10:17 skull crushers
6:04 bent over, barbell row( for back)
0:59 lunges
The skull crushers going behind the head I completely disagree with, I've noticed if you go right behind the head you get a much greater range of motion. If you lock your shoulders and bend just at the elbow you're not using your lats now the second that you turn it into a reverse row motion yes then you are using your lats, but if you're just bending your elbows no.
Very helpful video! Thanks for these tips
this info helps so much, i think about form more than anything because I want to truly get stronger without getting injured or losing effectiveness. Didn’t expect to find good videos on youtube but this was super helpful and well explained. Thanks
I've been having slight elbow pain when lifting. My form on the tricep push down (bar / rope) has been incorrect. Thanks for the info !
But it isnt, dude is wrong
yeah I think if you do skull crushers the way this guy is explaining, youre risking elbow injury. Now I lower the bar behind the head and dont have pain and also have bigger gains since its not purely isolation exercise.
Next week's grind will be better, thanks mate. Have a good day king
Some of this I already knew and some gave me an improved perspective on things I only thought I knew. Answers to the questions we all occasionally ask ourselves (into the mirror as we work out) are the ones you have an uncanny ability to focus upon quite often. There is no worse enemy to one's consistency than to think you may be executing your routine to less than maximum advantage. Your videos all seem to keep this all-important constant in view.
Very well presented and highly-detailed

This is why I rate Tonal. Tells you all these stuff as you workout 👍🏽
Thanks. I just started going to the gym a week ago and I realize I've been making some of those mistakes
So r u going now or left
Hello, really great explanation in the exercises. I understand what you mean about keeping the elbow in the same position during the tricep exercise. If you look at the anatomy and function of the triceps, you can see that, beyond extension, the triceps also perform adduction and retroversion in the shoulder joint. That’s why, in my opinion, it would make sense to guide the triceps from front to back as well. This way, you’re actually training the full range of motion (ROM). Let me know what you think about this!
6:46 thats how i injured my back ...i was a beginner and had no idea how to do it...
I used to not be able to do 45's at all on bench. Then when I started benching heavier weights closer to my max at only 3-4 reps on push days, I'm now at 185 on my max so far.
4:40 length of bench is actually short. So he made a bridge.
oh dude! True. I see people in this video use couple tips bodybuilders use. Now this guy comes and tell me it’s wrong.....
I have enrolled in most gyms in Penang Island. Fitness first, Zero Fitness, Seven Star Fitness, One And Fit Concept, Celebrity fitness and last one was in Penang Times Square before Covid breakout. Usually, discontinued due to traffic jam, lack of parking or the gym close down.
Ur really ah professional training bro....thank you so much
Very nice video the only thing with skull crushers it will depend on arm length. For me the nose is the sweet spot making sure you push/break your elbows forward when lowering really helps with any elbow pain
2:48 ''OLMOST''. Just fyi. Other than that, great video, I didn't realize these mistakes were so common! Keep up the great work!
This guy earn my respects the way he explained
I've been training for 2 years and I made some of the mistakes. Thanks for showing! :)
New gym bro here. I always make mistake on my form. Some of the buddies just come to me and correct it right away. Super cool guys.
Thank God finally someone who teaches right :)

Thank you so much. Lunges felt alot more comfortable after this video!
Thanks for correcting the way I use the Tri Lat.
This video is awesome! You did an amazing job explaining, illustrating and giving both examples and non-examples of what and what not to do! I saw points where I could definitely tighten up my gym routine. And I also recognized a lot of things that I have seen other people do in the gym that causes injury. *WHEW!* You just earned another subscriber and I will be tuning in more often! Great job man, and thanks for putting the time and effort!
As a beginner. This explains clearely. Thank you!
Nice work man, love the informative video. always a great watch!
You have abundant knowledge . Thank you for sharing and for all your videos . It's been a great help in my journey of body building.
Is the bridging advice specifically DB press? Because every powerlifter and powerlifting coach I've seen coaches a pretty intense bridge for a standard barbell bench press.
I believe so
