eh.... no offense, but he does some of those exercises in improper form. for instance, on his bicep curl, he is moving his upper arm placing more of the stress on the deltoid rather than the bicep. |

Your best "mass builders" are going to be:
Close grip bench Skulls Dips I also like Push downs, Kickbacks are more of a finisher than a mass builder IMO. Use a reverse grip while doing Tri work will also hit them better. |

I agree with Scotty, I also do what I call a one arm skull with Db's for an isolation exercise. Place a db in your hand, reverse grip, hold your elbow with your free hand for support and lower to your forhead, great for isolation.

I find JM presses more of a mass builder then close grip bench.

Pronated versus Supinated will emphasize the heads differently.
A pushdown with your palms supinated will emphasize the long head of the tricep more, where as with your palms pronated it tends to emphasize more of the lateral & medial heads. |

The excersizes you mention are not isolation excersizes, mass builders are not usually isolation by nature. Isolation excersize would be like a one arm triceps extention, usually those are finishers, and myself I only do one or two sets of something like that tops, and do not do them but every 2/3 workouts or so (when I feel like it).

The way I understand it in my own mind, is that the more compound an excersize is, bringing multiple muscle groups into play (think squat) is going to trigger the most GH release in the body and essentially tell the body doggon I need to get stronger here. I know for myself this is absolutely true, I dont gain muscle at a whim, any new muscle is hard for me to gain, just like 98% of everyone else complains about. The only way I find myself growing is doing basic and heavy excersizes, I like seated dumbell curls for instance but they never seemed to do much in the mass department for me. Going heavy on barbell sometimes bugs me, partly because its so taxing (key I think), but I get the best results that way. If you want to force the body to do something that is unnatural (become muscular) then you must kick your own ass, and little weights are not very taxing on the body. |

Some prefer dumbell presses over barbell, yet dumbell curls dont seem to be that popular as a prime bicep mass builder. Lou Ferrigno however attributed his own bicep developent to seated dumbell curls, which is a large part of what got me doing them for a good while, but they just never seemed to produce for me anything like getting a barbell and staying heavy and strict. Always find what works for you, feel free to spend a couple months if needed using something as your base routine for biceps/triceps or etc, and see how it does. I can say for myself that going back to basic movements is most of what got me going, as for shoulders almost all of my movements are dumbell though. YMMV as they say ![]() |

Just do not make the mistake of measuring your work-out by a pump, nor should a pump be your goal during a work-out.
