I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Try to reduce some of those sets. I notice great gains with minimal sets for bi's and tri's--5-6 sets each.
Instead of going to 10 try some heavier sets. Get to the 4-6 range for some heavy ones.
Do you superset every time you do tri's?
When was the last time you changed your routine?
Also, try and prioritize, move your tri workout sooner in the week or do it first thing that day for maximal effort."Only in dictionaries does SUCCESS come before WORK." -Alfred K. Henderson

Too many sets IMO, and drop those EZ CGs and do real CGs so you can move some real weight.

Try fewer sets. I do 6 sets for my triceps and biceps, and that is more than a lot of people.
Try some shock techniques like supersets or dropsets.
Try doing your movements very slow and maintaining a perfect mind-muscle connection.
Try prioritizing triceps by doing them at the beginng of your workout, or putting them on their own day.
Try, and brace yourself for this one, totally removing tricep work from your routine. Do only heavily compound exercises that involve tricpes, but do not target them directly: bench press, military press, wide dips, etc.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I think the number of sets is fine, however the types of exercises should be revised IMO - basically everything you're doing with the possible exception of close-grip benches, is hitting only the two smaller lateral and medial heads. Most bodybuilders neglect the long head:
*For the long triceps head, which is generally ignored, try one or more of the following. You will be sore and will retain a good soreness, in subsequent workouts:
1/Substitute French Presses for skull crushers, which i've never found effective. That means that if using a barbell, the bar goes down to touch a point on the bench about 4" behind your head. Some variations:
Do the French Presses with:
-both hands holding onto a dumbell, which is lowered behind your head and off the end of the bench towards the floor - full stretch, or
-a floor pulley, rather than using a barbell. Awesome..
2/ Seated two-hand dumbell extensions behind the head, back braced again a scott bench or similar.
3/ Reverse French presses using a low overhead pulley - a favorite of Larry Scott and rarely done by anyone else.
*Dips: Instead try bench dips, hands on one bench, the feet propped up on another bench placed parallel about a yard away and at the same height or higher than the first bench. Superior isolation to regular dips, IMO.
*TWO tri workouts a week is better IMO. Also, try 6-8 reps/set for a few workouts, then go to 10-12/set, for the shock value. The number of sets is already good.
You shouldn't have any more concerns after doing these.Last edited by pumpchaser; 09-24-2004 at 05:43 AM.
