Tate Presses

You need chains and duck tape too...and a belt....and some ammonia caps too...

Interesting exercise, just the thing I need.


Not much range of motion though

I wonder if just working one arm at a time and moving your arm across to the other side to allow the dumbell greater range of motion will change the exercise for the worst or move the stress away to a different area?

Wouldn't that just be a cross face extension?

I think one of the main benefits from this exersize comes from using two dumbells at once and keeping the butts of the dumbells touching throughout the movement.

Thanks for all the help, guys!!!

Is this lift designed more as a primary lift or a secondary/finishing lift? I have been doing them in the 10-12 rep range at the end of my chest/tri day to put the final touches on frying my tri's.

Would it be better to move the lift to a primary lift? (Does that make sense?)


Thanks,

Well, for a bodybuilder I would suggest doing these after your primary exercise. I usually do these for 4 sets of 8 reps, but probably need to go heavier. I plan to start doing 4 sets of 5-6 reps with the 65-70's.

Jesus.... I won't be using that weight for a while....I think I will try moving those to my second excercise. What would you think about this order:

CG press, tates, then CG press?

I guess I am just from the old school and believe that the most complex movement should be done first. I would always do close grips first, but switching it around a bit could never hurt for long.

Shit...I keep screwing this up.....

Ok, I currently do CG first, then skulls then tates....What I have been tryng desperately to type in here would be changing skulls and tates. Maybe like you said....just for a change up....

Thanks again,

Most definately. You can switch them often too.

Have you ever done lying dbell tric extensions? Ouch...

I lay on the floor and use a pair of 11 pound dbells (don't have anything around what I need) and basically do a skull krusher with the pair. I hold them up over my chest, palms facing, and take them down till they are by my ear and touch the ground then I shoot them back up to the start.

I do my 11's for 10 sets of 10 with 10 seconds rest between. Most do 7 sets of 8 with 10-15 sec rest between. The last couple of sets can really hurt...lol.

Don't rest very long between sets of tate presses either...I normally wait 30 seconds.
