Thread: triceps

In terms of isolations movements, I have always liked overhead DB extensions and Tate presses.

cg bench,overhead ext,skullcrushers,tricep pushdowns???

easy man. very easy. if its one thing you do bro trust me. i asked curse like a few months back the same shit. yo curse i need triceps whats up? He simply told me Skull Crushers. Hey ive been doin Skull Crushers, Reverse grip Skull Crushers and Tricep Push downs. My triceps are so fuckin dope now its like damn. I only wish I would have done this shit b4. people are like damn man u never had triceps wtf. its crazy skullies r da shit. my tricep workout is like this.

Skull Crushers 4-5x10
Reverse Grip Skullies 4-5x10
Tricep Push-Downs 4-5x10

oh and I always try and drop set all of em on the last set.

post your split, maybe your tris aren't getting enough recovery time

its 2 on 1 off, so 4 or 5 days a week total

i like doing tris with back so they are fresh

day 1-shoulders/abs
day 2- back/tris
day 3- off
day 4- legs/calves
day 5-chest/bis
day 6- off
day 7 repeat cycle

Just try something different. Lower the volume, raise the volume, decrease the frequency, increase the frequency, change your split, change the exercises you do, change the rep ranges used, etc. It's really impossible to tell how you are going to respond. Trial and error is most likely what you'll have to use.

However, you really should post your whole workout week for the best responses.

you are basically hitting your triceps 2 days in a row here. I would put do shoulders/tricpes on day 1 and back on day 2

yea i am hitting my triceps when i do seated presses, but its only one exercise.. i dont think that would be too much. anyway here is my exercises that i do

day 1- seated mil press
side raises or upright rows
standing calf raises

day 2- deads
bb rows
weighted pullups
cg bench
weighted dips

day 3-off
day 4- squats
hack squats
sldl or leg curl
standing calf raise

day 5- flat bb
inc. bb
db curl
preacher db curl

abs done on day 1 and 4, side crunches and crunches, 2-3 sets of 20 reps.

for the rest of my routine it is 2-3 all out sets of 8-15 reps.

Well, it couldn't hurt to give LAM's advice a shot. If you go pretty hard on those overhead presses, then your triceps will take a serious beating.

I agree with Mr. Lam

Here's what I would do.
1) put tri's with shoulders
2) put Bi's with back

3) Use the following for the tri's.
A) Close Grip Bench
B) Reverse grip bench on a slight incling placing the hands just a little wider then shoulders. Keep the chest high and the shoulders pinned down to take the front delts out of the movement. Make sure the bar comes down abaout a inch above the nipple line.
C) pick one of the two for a third exercise. Skulls or dips.
Rotate these three exercises every other time you do tri's and beat the weight use last time or beat the reps.

Tough
