I cycle a variety of exercises However, at the moment,I follow my chest routine with.. 3 sets of dips 3 sets of cable pushdowns. If this doesn't work, after giving it a go for a month or so, change one of the exercises. Personally, I think triceps are one of the most overtrained bodyparts so don't be tempted to wildely increase the amount of exercises if you're not seeing any results.  |

Personally i hit them compound with close grip bench presses, and then isolation with rope pulldowns and skullcrushers, 6 sets per week only. ______________________ - Obsession is what lazy people call dedication - |

I used to do them after shoulders with skull crushers (4 sets) and pushdowns (4 sets) last set on both was a drop set and they have always grown incredibly. Now my competition days are over and I don't need them to be so ridiculous I do 4 or 5 sets of pushdowns with the last being a drop after my chest session, if feeling particularly strong I'll preceed the press downs with 2 or 3 sets of parallel bar dips, no longer weighted tho since I became a blouse! With Tri's more is definately not always better, a lot of it is genetics but they get hit hard from chest and shoulder pressing work so bear that in mind when constructing your workout program. www.extremenutrition.co.uk ______________________ www.extremenutrition.co.uk - 25% OFF FOR ALL MC MEMBERS, discount code MCD25. www.betterbodies.uk.com Seriously cheap sports nutrition!
