    12 sets tri/mass

    is 12 sets too much for triceps when i am trying to get mass. I am doing power movements (close grip bench, behind neck press, lying press, pushdowns)

    is 12 sets too much for biceps also, when i am trying to get mass. I am doing power movements (standing barbell curl, alt dumbell curl, concentration curls, prescher curls)

    thanks - you guys are the best.
