[$uperman]

sup swole ups , lets face it... everyone has a lagging body part. It may be the bi's , shoulders , legs , penis , ect.... Mine happens to be my triceps. I have really good bi's but my tris suck dirty ass. Now, would you freaks be so kind to post ol $uperman some of your tricep workouts and help a brother out. thanx

Just happens to be one of my favorite body parts so I really like to hit them hard on arm day.
Here it is.

1) Dips w/body weight 5 sets at 35 reps each

2) 5 sets of Tri cable pushdowns( if you have a rope instead of a bar it really hits the tri's alot harder. Try turning your wrist out at the bottom of the movement.)

3) 5 sets of Tricep extensions 20lbs,20lbs,25lbs 25lbs 75lbs
( Ok I lied about the 75 lb dumbell! 25lb actually)

4) 5 sets on the Tricep machine with weights. Starting at 65lbs and go up a plate with each set

5) Skull crushers 5 sets at 50lbs each set

6) Close grip bench press 5 sets at 95lbs (25lbs on each side with a 45lb bar) This excerise requires a spotter. Place your hands directly together on the bar. Works the forearms as well.

After my morning workout I'll hit it agian at the gym at work during my 1 hour lunch break. After work I'll go back to the gym but this is usually just to spot my girlfriend yet I do hit a set or 2 on the arms again on various machines. ( Gotta stay pumped for my baby!)

Tobey can you move your arms the next day LOL

I train triceps after shoulders as these are mostly press movments and I find it warms them up nicely!

I do

Tricep pulldowns with a rope attachment (Pull the two ends of the rope away from each other at the end of the movement)

3-4 sets 8 reps

Tricep pull downs narrow grip 3-4 sets 8 reps

Cable cross overs (I get a really good pump from these)

3-4 sets 10 reps

- Triceps pressdown (cable)
- one arm cable pressdowns
