Whatever you can move more weight doing. I would assume that's a CG Bench.

i do dips for my chest before CG bench, mind you lately i've dropped CG bench as i'm cutting, i'll rotate between cable and reverse cable press and supersets after skull crushers instead, really fu'ks up my tris nicely!

Do both. Why one or the other? If I had to choose only two tricep movements to do, those would be it. I which I had a dip machine at my house. If I wasn't so damned broke all the time then I would buy one.

I'd personally rather do one or the other and supplement the routine with lying or seated skullcrushers (seated is my personal preference).

I'm happy with CG as my mainstay. For dips, avoid leaning forward to hit the triceps more than the chest.

Bench dips are best for triceps from my experience.

Certainly CG press first after a couple of light warm up sets.
Followed by a bar or DB extension, then a cable pushdown as a finisher.

Anyway back on track, I've personally found that for triceps it's better to use the power/size movement first, in this case it's close grip bench press.
If you deplete your energy on skull crushers, you won't be pressing as much weight or reps for CG.

I can actually do Dips for more weight if I use my belt. I can add 100 lbs and do reps. But I usually switch the two around because CG seem to overload the muscle better than Dips.

I like CGs better because I have a "completely stable" platform from which to perform the lift, where I feel crawling around with dips would put me at greater risk of injury. I would assume though that I could do more with dips also, because I'm already in the 250s and I know I could do dips with a dumbell, never used a belt, haven't done dips in near a year.

I always try to start with whatever exercise I can push the most weight with first and work my way down. Originally Posted by ihateschoolmt

As long as you have a proper warmup routine, whatever you are pulling around more weight in should be done last. Due to muscle Memory...
Muscle Memory
Despite the small amount of research done in this area, it has been clearly found that muscles retain a memory like function which helps decide how much adapatation the muscle must go through during the next Hypertrophy cycle.
Thus making a bit more clear why the 1 heavy set programmes work just as well as the multi-set programmes.
Muscle memory is particularly related to strength gains, ending with a heavy rep set would be a wise descision inorder to exploit muscle-memory and ofcoarse as we all know, with strength comes size and vice versa.

This is why i strongly suggest against the "cool down" sets, light days and pyramiding down.
