I need bigger tri's

[seagrave]

One thing that I did not see mentioned was reverse grip benches. You can go heavy and it seems to really stress my tris.

When guys have tris that are not developing... 99.98% of the time it is because they are emphasizing the wrong exercises. French press and close grip bench with a spotter are king. Everything else (except dips) is a distant second... (but with dips you have to know how to do them to target tris.)

by not leaning foward right?

i split my tris into two days.. one for compound, one for isolation.

day 1
close grip bench
skull crushers
dips

day 2
french press
pullbacks
wide grip pull downs
reverse pull downs
and then mayb rope followed with some dips

(obviously not back to back)

I triggered my traps by doing shoulder shrugs for many years and it's been one year and everytime I do military press I trigger my traps. Everyone is different, but dude, for some reason you are giving me advice yet you have no clue what muslce's work out what. I have been workngout out for 10 years and have a master's in exercise physiology and can tell you that almost all shoulder movements will trigger a trap response. I am simply asking adivce on triceps, and your teling me shoulder press? you have no clue.

lol...what you get from experience you can't get from books. I've read a lot of shit too. Just cause I dnt have a degree doesnt mean I dnt have a clue. Why you attacking me for? All I said was that dumbell presses dnt overwork the traps. Fuck your exercise physiology for all I care. Experience is the best of teachers. Dumbell presses involve the traps to a very small degree. They involve the triceps a LOT more.

You got it G! Leaning forward def involves more chest than anything.

have to agree with that i feel it a heck of a lot more in my tris than in my traps

eliminate all compound exercises and focus strictly on the long head of the triceps.

this is from a trainer who does all national level and pro bbs. he said it, i did it, and it works. it is a completely different way to hit the muscle but it works.
