IMO I always preferred doing chest/tripces, back/biceps and legs on the third day. Doing biceps on back day is the best way to go, since half of the exercises hit biceps while you do back. Also, I'd never suggest doing biceps it just grows way too slowly. If you wanna focus arms you gotta kill the triceps, it's what will give you size.

Also tiny triceps with big biceps just look creepy. Thanks, will try mixing things up a bit next week.

Triceps are possibly my weakest muscle group.

You should really focus it, because stronger triceps will increase your strength a lot on other exercises (shoulder press, bench, dips etc.).

So I've heard.

You're not fapping well. There are some fapping exercises that strengthen your triceps. Old school fapping is for biceps, I should teach you the new fapp apps.

Thanks :toast: I'm pretty sure I can handle more weights on squats, though. I'm just increasing slowly, 2kg per session.

They have gotten bigger, compared to last year they are huge now so I'm satisfied

Thats the good approach, never jump to high at once. I used to had a tendency to do that, and lowering weight cause form is bad, is demotivating.

That's impressive. I have back pain and I barely lift much when squatting.

If you have backpain, it might be better to go nuts on leg press and if avaibale a hacksquat machine, instead of regular squats.
It needs a healty back.

I've had a good share of backpains, and i goddamn hate it.

Thats absolutely normal. Apart from physical labor style work and sex, you dont really use those triceps alot.

The bright side of this, is once you start focussing on them in trainings, you can get good results pretty fast, cause of all the unused potential.

lying triceps extentions (done right, you MUST feel it burning in the tricep) , close grip benchpress (hands±20 away from each other, 15 reps, 3/4 sets), and cord pulldowns done correctly (keep the ellbows in place, only move forearms)
Is a good combo of excercises to attack that tricep area.

doing incline or flat benchpresses with dumbels is also an excellent excercise, but they require more advanced development to work well
- you need good balance. if you are starting on triceps, you dont have it. Took me pretty long for a good balance.
- you are only really excercising the triceps if you do a good weight. so you need balance and a chest thats getting somewere

before 20kg dumbel inclines, dont consider it "triceps"

I ran 16 km with the double stroller and my two boys. Great run and I could feel the strength that I have gained from all the Crossfit I have done.

 

[Zacheryah]

Was meant to reply to you earlier Zach, but something came up and then I forgot.

Thanks for the advice, as always. I'm considering leaving the triceps on my "break day" instead of biceps, when I'm currently doing abs and biceps, as I'm getting too tired for a proper triceps workout after I'm done with a chest workout of around 5 exercises with 10 reps each.

Yesterday I had to drop weight to be able to finish triceps. Started with a weight of 15kg (3 sets, 10 reps each) for dumbbell extensions, 3 sets of dips till failure and then I could barely lift the barbell without any weight for the lying triceps extensions.

Yesterday I went outside in a park to workout with bars only (bodyweight training). I did 10 sets of 5 (wide pullups), 10 sets of normal ones and 10 sets of 15 dips. After only 3 hours I felt muscle soreness on my back. And today I feel soreness everywhere, it just killed my ass of. I like it.

 

[Klin]

Wide pull-ups are fucking hard.

 

[Dostoevsky]

The other day I did 15 and then stopped, I had more strength. But yeah, they are kinda hard.

sounds great !

doing failure reps on bicep/tricep are also very good in my opinion. just dont go over 15 reps. Unless its dips, you can max those.

But next time, try starting with lying tricep extention. do 12-10-8-6 reps with it, then the dumbell and then the dips till failure

did 6 clean reps with 80 pound dumbbells on shoulder press, and I keep getting lighter I'm at 160 now, about 25 lbs lighter than my regular weight
