Dorian Yates<\/a> is still showing how to train safely while building muscle. In a recent YouTube video aired on Dec. 1, 2025, Yates revealed how to save your elbows during triceps training with a simple arm positioning tweak.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A six-time Mr. Olympia<\/a> champion, Yates defied the odds to reach the top of the sport. Although he didn\u2019t boast the strongest shape or aesthetics, he leveraged his high-intensity training principles to great success. He managed to deny a crop of top-tier athletes a shot at the Sandow trophy, including Shawn Ray<\/a>, Kevin Levrone<\/a>, and Flex Wheeler<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From torn biceps<\/a> and triceps to his recent hip replacement surgery<\/a>, bodybuilding took its toll on Yates. This is why he values proper warm-up methods and practices that protect the joints and ligaments. Elbow pain<\/a> is one of the most common mishaps inside the gym, providing Yates the perfect opportunity to share one of his gems about triceps training<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dorian Yates Gives Elbow-Saving Triceps Training Tip\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the video, Yates broke down how to best perform a lying triceps extension<\/a>. He warned against bringing the arms toward the chest at the end of each repetition, and said that would be more like a pullover. He emphasized that this simple training tweak can save the elbows from damage over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDo this for your triceps. So you\u2019re here [arms raised], we\u2019re going to go back to here, yeah? Then, come down so it\u2019s like behind your head, and then we come up but we don\u2019t [bring arms down more].<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not like a pullover. Keep it there, that way it\u2019s going to save your elbows a bit. It may be reduced poundage, but it\u2019s more muscle,\u201d explained<\/a> Dorian Yates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t Yates\u2019 first time offering key workout advice that prevents the joints from undue stress. He recently unpacked his technique for strengthening the rotator cuff and protecting the shoulder<\/a>, which can be accomplished by just hanging from a pull-up bar for three minutes before hitting a workout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Shadow\u201d hasn\u2019t been the only big name in the sport to offer useful arm training advice. \u201cThe Godfather of Bodybuilding,\u201d Charles Glass, explained how to position the body perfectly<\/a> to reap maximum benefits from cable skullcrushers and preacher curls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
