tricep growth ?

[buffchic69]

What do you all do ? this is what I do.

I used to train my tri's 2x a week, but I heard training tri's only once a week is optimal for growth.

What I am currenly doing for 4 weeks, then I will change sets, reps, etc.

I do:

close-grip bench press---7 sets-10 reps---40 lbs
skullcrushers ---7 sets-10 reps---35 lbs
OH triceps extensions ---7 sets-10 reps---35 lbs
pulldowns or kickbacks---5 sets-10 reps---25-30 lbs

I just did my tri's yesterday, they are so damn sore. hopfully that's a good thing.


Is this an alright routine to follow for the next 3 weeks ?


Thanks !!!!!!!!

That is A LOT of sets! You are doing 26 sets for triceps alone! IMO, that is about 20 too many!

I usually do 3 sets for each exercise, 2-3 exercises per body part. I can kill triceps alone in 15 minutes.

I bet if you drop the number of sets you can increase the weight and hit them harder with the INTENSITY, instead of the sheer amount of sets.

I like doing: dips, skullcrushers, and pulldowns

Hi Daisy. No I think you misunderstood me. I do 7 sets total for all the exercises. not 7 sets for each exercise, I think that would kill me !! LOL

Double your intensity and cut the sets inhalf....you can train LONG or INTENSELY...but not BOTH
