I need bigger tri's

[str8cubano]

I have been struggling with this for 10 years. currently on a nice test cycle at 750mg/week (first time) and my biceps have always overpowered my tricepts. Maybe this is because when I was 12 years old untill I was about 18 i did bicep curls and never once did triceps....yea I know. Anyways, other people have told me to simply work out your triceps harder, and even though my arms are still pretty big, my bi's always overpower my tri's. I truly feel that the only way to make it equal or overpower them is by NOT working out bi's and hitting tri's like 3 time a week during this cycle. What do you guys think?

And when it comes to working out, you can give me your training feedback as well.. I always go as heavy as I can (skulls, pulldowns) and high reps as well. Something I don't always do is close grip....

French Press, narrow grip bench presses, heavy shoulder presses, heavy chest presses.

can't do shoulder press anymore because after 2 years maxing up to 90lb dumbells on shoulder press My traps became toooooooo big. Now I have to target delts without targteting traps

I like heavy pressing followed by isos like kickbacks and rope pulldowns

I do reps with 120 lbs dumbells and my traps aren't too big. That makes no sense.

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.

Man, don't hate me - but the obvious question now is "why are YOU asking anyone else?"

Weighted dips

any mass building exercise.. no machine stuff

so like was already said-- close grip, french press, skull crush...

I don't think you should skip biceps altogether. It's the antagonist pairing to tris and will help keep everything balanced and in good working order when you increase your workload for triceps. Since it's not a priority, though, 1 exercise 2x10 at the end of the workout once or twice a week should be enough.

Training a bodypart 3x a week is theoretically OK, but research has shown that unless you're a beginner you'll get just as good gains going 2x a week and better strength. Probably not necessary advice, but since you're looking for size, you may want to back off on going heavy. A moderate rep range and good intensity usually does the trick.

I always liked to pump some blood into my tris when I was concentrating on them. Either higher reps ( my favorite for this was Cable Extensions) or some sort of drop or rest-pause set(s) at the end of a workout.
