t then you have some degree of mind muscle disruption but you will want to move onto the next test. Now, keeping your elbow straight, try and move your arm back behind your body and evaluate once again what type of discomfort (if any) you get from this position. If you have a good mind muscle awareness you will definitely feel a tight squeeze or slight cramp in the triceps muscle from putting your arm in this position. Finally, add one final component of the test by externally rotating your shoulders and getting your forearms to face forward. Repeat the drill by getting your straight arm back behind your body and once again evaluate what type of cramping, discomfort or tightness you may have in your triceps. If you don-t feel any of that in any of the three positions then you definitely have to do something about it since this is holding back the effectiveness of all of the tricep work you are doing. To rectify this, try the simple 6 minute routine shown here. 1. Perform a pulsing triceps pushdown in just the final few inches of the rep for 45 seconds. You can use lighter weights here. The focus is on driving a hard contraction via the triceps muscle and not on worrying about progressive overload or strength. Rest 15 seconds and move onto the next movement. 2. Lying face down on an incline bench, take two light dumbbells and move them back behind your body while maintaining straight elbows. Pulse your straight arms back even a few more inches, making sure not to let them drop past the level of the torso. Do this once again for 45 seconds and rest 15 seconds before moving onto the last exercise. Note, if needed, you may use no weight here if needed in order to ensure strong contractions. 3. Finally, rotate your shoulders from this same position so that your forearms are pointing down towards the floor. For this final movement you not only want to keep your arms behind your body with your shoulders turned back but you want to once again reinforce the final two inches of elbow extension by quickly bending and extending the elbows just a little bit on every rep. Perform this for 45 seconds, rest 15 seconds and repeat this entire 3 minute circuit one more time for a total of 6 minutes. You will be able to do this quick routine for your triceps throughout the week without having to worry about it interfering with your currently programmed strength or hypertrophy work. With the absence of eccentric overload and the fact that it is not neurologically demanding as rep max strength work would be, you will be able to work on improving your mind muscle connection without taking away from current training goals. Try this and I guarantee you will find some amazingly quick results from doing it.

Jeff, could you please condense all this knowledge into a book? Or a series, if one is not enough. Something that targets beginner lifters?
All the brilliant advice in this video, for instance, is a little lost on me, because I have to spend so much time unlearning old habits. Every time I try to go a little heavier on the pushdown, I lose the last 2 inches. A book, targeted at beginners and covering essential knowledge on muscle groups and how they work together during well-known exercises would be ideal for people just starting out on their fitness journeys.
Hope you'll consider this!

I have really bad tennis and golfers elbow, it is literally keeping me from growing my arms on both the tri's and bi's part of all excersises. This just happened I'd say about 2 months ago, I am so frustrated I need help amd advice, I hate not working my arms out it feels a incomplete workout, I do other things to compensate like bench, seated rows, standing military presses things of this nature but I don't feel like it's doing enough. I'm maintaining no growth at all and that sucks.
What do I do? What do I need to do and most importantly how freaking long?

I have the same problem with all tricep exercises, I can do a certain amount of reps and then my arm will no longer straighten fully - my triceps aren't failing but the elbow joints seem to be. My right arm struggles before my left as well and as a result my left arm is noticeably bigger. Will this rectify that in time or do I need to do something else?

Was doing close grip bench press for triceps while I was thinking: I need to activate my triceps more. Went to Athlean-X ofcourse and watched this video. Immediately after watching this video, psyched to get back to it, I found results! Felt my triceps better and could even take more weights when I activated them properly.
Thanks, Jeff!

I found (by accident) that doing pyramid push-ups hugely increased my triceps gains in comparison with free weight exercises. Was just looking to improve the amount of push-ups I could do by varying the techniques, and about 5-6 weeks later noticed the effect it'd had on my arms. Still not even anywhere near close to Jeff's level, mind!

Jeff I totally understand the mind muscle connection, but what about muscle insertions? I would love a video about you talking about this. Because no matter how I train my triceps, my insertion are super high so my arms always look small. good video as always tho

I finally achieved the mind muscle connection in the lacking side of my chest and I have found that stressing my chest with small flexing movements until I feel that burn and then doing my pushups. It is working slowly to catch that side up.

5: 57 I was like-what's that big friggin long word he used before he says 'awareness' - then I had an idea: closed captions. turns out, CC caught it: PROPRIOCEPTIVE awareness. Jeff, sometimes you talk so damn fast!
