    I assume you do your tri's on chest days? If not, I would do that while they are already getting worked as a secondary muscle group.

    No I do them on my delts day. I find triceps get hit a bit on chest day so I'd rather be at my maximum when hitting the triceps, hence why I do them on the days I hit my delts and traps.

    Yeah man, definitely hit the triceps with some isolation exercises after your chest work. Wait for a few minutes or so and then finish them. I'm stuck only able to do overhead tricep extensions, but a good mass builder while you are working your chest is a close grip bench press, IF you don't already do those, I cannot stress enough to make sure your form is good first though... the balance of the bar isn't quite as easy as it may seem lol don't ask me how I know this.
