    it's like you do every possible exercise for your chest and triceps.

    but everyone is different. you should just find something that works. maybe cut out a few exercises for a few weeks and see how that goes.

    might want to also readjust your workout schedule. bicep's after a back day / tricep's after a chest day never did me a bit of good.

    The chest, biceps and triceps are small muscle groups compared with legs and back. 10-12 sets max for chest, 6-9 sets for bi's/tri's/delts, 10-14 sets for back and legs works best for me

    Of course this all depends on how many calories and how many hours of sleep I'm getting.
