No,you are going to have to do exercises that enact a full ROM (Range of motion). Look up skullcrushers.

When you are doing wide grip bench press are you still working tr…?

If you are, it’s just barely. Wide grip is meant to isolate your (outer) chest area only. Close grip is for triceps.

what is more important for benching triceps or chest?

Q: i want to know which i should work harder in order to increase my bench. in general which do you use more? my triceps have been pretty weak lately so should i work them harder?

A: Yes and no…the triceps are important to benching, and since they’ve been weak, you’ll want to work then harder…but the chest is still the more important muscle for benching. Since your triceps are weaker recently, do 50/50 for effort, but as the triceps get stronger put more and more focus on the chest.

What’s a good way to work out your biceps, triceps, chest and abs with out using weights?

Q: What is a good way to work them out? And when do I get results? How many days, at the minimum, do I work out to get the results I want? But with out using any weights that means don’t tell me bench press, power clean, squat, curling dumbbells, using machine weights or anything like that. Just by using hands, legs, arms, chest and stomache.

A: hey man, this best advice i can giv u and is very simple is: for ur abs = “crunches” better than “sit-ups” = same as a sit-up but u dont lift the small of ur back off of the ground. for ur pecs = “push-up”. for ur “triceps” = “bench decline” = sit on a bench, put ur hands on the end of the bench and then shimmy down so ur hands r still on the bench but ur arms r basically behind u, keep ur torso as vertical as u can and ur legs out as far as ur can away from u as possible. lift ur slf up away from the bench then hold ur arms straight andthen slowly decend so that ur arms r bent again and just repeat that. Sorry but i dont hav an exercise for ur byeceps yet but if u hav any complications plz email me, i will try my best to answer all ur querys. good luck 🙂
