Thread: Tricep involvement on a chest day..

Do few sets of triceps isolation after chest and that should do it pal.

I don't feel the weight being distributed onto my shoulders so that can't be the problem and even though people say DOMS isn't a good indicator, my chest (and a few other body parts) still get pretty wrecked after a workout, yet tri's not being one of them.

Also, I know narrowing my grip would involve them more however I assume I won't be able to use the same weight. Does anyone have any ideas?

psshh, I don't feel shit on my tris during a chest day either. It's the length of your arms that determine it really. might have to just stick a few tri workouts in your routine.

Also just to add I do around 2/3 exercises for triceps following chest

do close grip benches its that that will add mass to your tris plus pushdowns until it burns superset or giant set it with 4 tri exercises. it should blast them, no it has to.

I would say that if you don't feel tris in CGBP or dips, then you're doing it wrong.

dips I defiantly feel them, cgbp I kind of but not too much.. I like the tricep pull down, makes my arms feel like jello..
