  • Basic simple exercises, repeated consistently ad nauseum for years.

    As a beginner i wouldn’t really focus on feeling the muscle, just trying to keep form somewhat ok and consistent and just keep pushing in the usual repeat range ~8-12. IMO, feeling the muscle shouldn’t come at the expense of intensity. If the form is somewhat correct, the right muscles are working regardless of how much one can feel those.

    My personal favorites for triceps are skull crushers due to how easy those are to overload and cable single arm overhead extensions. Can’t do it with both arms anymore, ran out of stack on the cable machine. Tricep pushdowns are good as well, but I’m getting to the point where it’s hard to keep myself down instead of pushing the weight down. Probably have to cross over to tricep dips soon.


  • More accurate answer can probably be given only by the Olympics committee or trainers who specializes in training Olympic athletes.

    Generally, if it has come with you naturally aka you haven’t taken any drugs to get this condition. Then it’s just a natural advantage and likely allowed.

    Though whatever this single advantage is enough to become an Olympic level athlete is highly questionable. You can probably try local competitive scene, less competition, higher chance of sucess.

    For an Olympic level of athlete. You’d need luck, yes genetic advantages, insane levels of work ethic and skill honed for years(since childhood) just to have a shot at getting funding for attempting to become one.

    The average person, which we all here are, struggles with being consistent with just the most basic training routine for their own well-being.

















  • shrugs idk.

    Isn’t usually the anwser they’re looking for or can comprehend. So just the standard “fine” is suitable. Back in childhood my mother actually started to ban words to force me to use different descriptors when she asked “how my day was”. That eventually lead to me answering “bad” which schoked her and she asked “what happened?”, to which i replied “you bamned all the other words” . Luckily that was the end of that.
