Triceps training minus presses and dips?

[ledhead]

Yeah! not being disrespectful or anything but you have the heavy weight syndrome.. That's where you get injured! my philosophy is this if you can't do the weight for less then 10 reps and being able to control every rep your training incorrect,bulking or cutting.I been training for 20 some odd years and the best gains I made was with moderate weight and moderate to high reps controlling the weight. I used to train heavy all I ever did was get injured, and have minimal gains. Now if you can push heavy weight at high reps then God bless you...

I can't bench heavy negroid. pec injury......




I hit the shoulders and tris hard today. Working them first in the week made a difference.


Standing strict press 175x8 drop set 135x12. Used some legs on the 135

Seated rack press from top of head. 225x3x3 as a cluster set. These smoked my tris. I should be able to move up in weight on these fast. Cool exercise.

Single arm DB lateral raises 4 sets slow and controlled.

Single arm cable laterals triple drop set

Shoulders were smoked at this point.

Rolling DB extensions 50 pound db's for 24 reps rest paused. Tris were screaming after this

Seated french press 60,70,80x12

Rope pressdowns triple drop set

I'm smoked and still pumped. No pain what so ever either. Last week the Db extensions and pushdowns bothered my pec. Hopefully I can move a little more weight when I hit chest on Thursday.

Good workout bro..how'd your tear the pec? damn...

 

[SouthernLord]

It's not a tear, or at least a serious one.....

One day I trained chest and it was sore. Felt like I trained chest the day before. Ever since then it's hurt to press. Kinda odd.

SL, if you can afford it a FAR infrared heating pad is a fantastic investment. Penetrates up to 1.5" into the tissue, whereas conventional heating pads penetrate maybe 2mm at best. The latter just roast your epidermis. IME my FAR infrared pads have hugely accelerated the healing of various muscles strains over the few years I've had them.

 

[SouthernLord]

I'll look into that. I have a cheapo hearing pad that's never used.

I've been doing Joe Defranco's upper body warm up daily along with some diesel crew shoulder mobility exercises. Even though I can train shoulders close to full blast I'm thinking since it hurts at the tie in that my shoulder is part of the problem.

Did you hurt your pec minor bro, cause I know all about that shit?

 

[SouthernLord]

It could be. I've felt pretty good though the past few days. I'm gonna hit some light chest today and test my pec.
