    tricep workout

    i was just wondering what other people did for tricep work out

    At the moment im doing

    mon chest/tri
    tues cardio
    wed back
    thurs cardio
    fri shoulders/bis/a little extra tris
    sat cardio
    sun legs. i do these on my off day of my diet because i need comfort food after training legs

    i do tris twice a week because i figure that if the arm is made up buy 2/3 of the arm then bigger tris= bigger looking arms.

    so i just wanted to know what exercises can i do to hit all 3 heads of the tris

    i do
    mon
    dips 3x10
    cable push downs with sright bar 3x10
    cable push downs with rope 3x10
    skull crushers 3x10

    fri
    cable push downs with rope 3x10
    cable push downs 2x10
    another exrcise dont know what its called i use the rope and pull it above my the back of my head 3x8

    can anyonw advise me on what to do ?

    Weighted Dips, Skullcrushers, close/reverse grip bench, Close grip bench from the floor, I work 'em once a week or every 5 days when I'm on.

    i do chest and tri's on different days as to better the arms with heavy weight. some people do them together because the tri's are worked with chest but i feel it's better to do them apart for the same reason.

    I always use 3 exercises with 3 points of flexion. One pressdown movement, one pressing movement, one extension movement. 3 exercises, 3 different prestretch movements.

    this is good advice. soo many people do 3 or 4 exercises that, in theory, do the same thing.

    I can never understand why you would do tris on a chest day, doesnt make sense...

    I agree with Mad Matt, I used to do that but you get more out of your triceps by seperating them.

    I do a PUMPSET of Tri's on Chest day... after I complete my CHEST workout I ... do a set of 20 reps of Tri Pushdown's with a straight bar/rope/v-bar vary it from week to week...

    But I do know what you mean... I dedicate a whole day to ARMS and a whole Day to Chest and then one to Back and then Legs and Finally SHOULDERS !!
