Is that better for joint stacking or something as you mentioned a few days ago?
Yes and...
It's better for your wrists, it'll also allow you to flare your lats better and get tighter. Currently you're very very cramped for space

Morning Weigh In; 73.3kg Think the big spike is due to my 3am meal and water intake before bed, that and I was slightly dehydrated when I clocked in at 72.2 last week. Will try and measure it again tomorrow. Depending on how i weigh in over the next week I'll decide wether or not to taper calories back.

What's the plan re weight? You bulking?

What's the plan re weight? You bulking?
Yeah, I don't mind putting fat on but not at a rate of close to 1kg per week lol. That said my bulk has gone pretty well. Going back to end of April 2015 I was 62kg, so I've put on 23ish pounds since then. Annoyingly my lifts haven't changed much
But I think at that point since I was running SS my body was just insanely well adapted to the big 3, especially squats. Whereas now I want to build my general strength and gear more towards Oly lifting so that's probably why! But yeah the bulks gone well, I just need to cut at some point though (and probably work arms before that happens).Original post by Sae.HH

You know it's funny I tried doing some hammer curls after my deadlift sess but I must have been dead from the Pendlays and Chin Ups Only explanation because I couldn't even curl 10'sOriginal post by Sae.HH

A pump from other stuff can make it v hard, hence why i do arms after legs on 'limb' day. Only post deadlifts so they aren't too bad

Do you find Pendlay good? Thinking of doing it going forwards...
And yeah (most exercises for) triceps are a f***ing b****.
Just do rope pushdowns bro...
Are dips ok for your triceps? I've considered doing them, just trying to pick exercises which will f*** me up the least.
Good that you're doing curls brah but 2 reps is dissapointing
If you don't like overhead tricep extensions with a barbell, but still want a similar (or better movement), I would recommend cable overhead extensions.
set cable at the floor and use the rope attachment. Go reasonably light to find your form and aim to pin elbows, but pull the rope apart the entire rep.
love the longhead

Morning Weigh In; 72.8 (Much happier with this lol, half a kg less than the 73.3 I weighed a few days ago)
Pendlays are great, you need to have a fairly strict form so I'd say it's better than barbell but you can't use as much weight. It took me a few sessions to get used to it but I'm definitely feeling it today and enjoying it. I'm trying to get to a 6 rep range area for 3-4 sets before I start alternating it again with my weighted chin ups. For you they'd be great as you definitely also get some rear delt activation too.
As for dips I love them, there's no danger for elbows at all in the dip imo, it's the shoulder. But as long as you retract properly and brace yourself, I can't see why it would be a problem. But for you I'd probably say don't risk it until your rear delts are stronger since you don't want it to be the reason you aggravate anything. If you want a safe heavy tricep movement you can't beat the CGBP tbh, although it doesn't work the long head as much which is why I need a overhead ext. substitute.
Re curls; I'll get there eventually
Okay I'll definitely check that out, I do a lot of superset work with the cables so that would be very easy to fit in. Thanks.

Fair fair, i'll be sure to have a look at them then.
Right i'll consider dips then. For now i'll stick with rope pushdowns as i do like them.
Good work son
