  1. Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? 

    The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours.  His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.

    He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

  2. I concur that this is probably the number one exercise for triceps mass. I have seen people doing this on an inclined bench (approx 30 degree) as well. Do you have a preference, flat or inclined?

  3. I can’t quite recall what exactly I was searching for when I came across one of your videos earlier today. I watched, and then noticed many others, so I watched a few more and will continue to view others! Your videos are insanely informative and extremely helpful, and you definitely have excellent communication skills and camera presence.

    I’ve just recently started on my fitness journey and have a ways to go, I wish I would have many years ago before I hit my 40s…but better late than never!

    In relation to this video…I just did the tricep workouts…and oh my god! By my last sets, only using 12 pounds, I couldn’t even get to 6, and full extension of my arm wasn’t possible, my tris were on fire!!!! The low weight doesn’t bother me…like you mentioned in another video, the muscles don’t know what the number is on that barbell. Better to have quality form reps instead of struggling with higher weight just for the sake of saying I lifted x amount.

  4. This is the best I struggle on what is the best workouts for a complete muscle group I wanna workout this really helps being new to the gym and trying to find direction for what I wanna accomplish

  5. Woo hoo ive been doing the best one the most based from my own experience. How ever I use a single DB and grip with both hands.

  6. I just want to say thank you I’ve been watching your videos and applying tips and workouts you been doing and suggested and I feel a huge difference see a difference tho I’m not where I want to be I def see it coming with consistency 🤝💯

  7. The best tricep exercise is holding the dumbbell down by your side and twist inward which builds the outer head and twist outward which builds the inter head..this exercise takes all the weight off of your elbow joints and it’s easy and fast..no more sore elbows..you will see results fast.

  8. So I don't have a gym membership – Can't afford it atm. But I do have kettlebells, and a back deck I can lie down on to simulate the third exercise. Are kettlebells an alright substitute for the weight?
