    How I tackled my overly greedy triceps. Is this a sound method?

    I work triceps on the same day as my chest. The reason I came to that conclusion is that after I came back into the awesome world of working out, I noticed that my triceps would always "steal" plenty of the work in certain chest exercises. No matter how I tweaked my grip on bench or hand and arm pla***ent in push ups and the various variations, they would literally hog most of the burn. So... I ended up putting a day aside for tris and chest. I am noticing a more evened out feel as far as the workouts are concerned. I just wanted to know if this was in my head or if there was some basis to this at all. I am looking for real critique and criticism, so don't hold anything back. I lost my ego a LONG time ago.

    There's no tricep work in flat bench flys, incline flys, cable crossovers and pec deck.

    I should have mentioned that I always include the push workouts on chest day. That is my bad.

    And that I don't have the money for a gym membership as of right now. Feeling like a real noob here not explaining the full breakdown. Ugh...

    Do you only have a barbell and not dumbbells so you can't do flies? I think can you can flies with plates too, their diameter would limit the RoM, just keep in mind the biceps will get tense too, but the difference being, the more work they do, the more the chest does also (long leverage) so it doesn't steal work like triceps.
