![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why do you train your triceps before shoulders? The triceps are smaller than you deltoids. I've always went by training larger body parts first and smaller body parts last. ------------------ IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() that would be 27 sets if he added two more on Monday, too much IMHO. I think your workout looks good, maybe time to look at rest and diet. -wb IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() I would still add the third triceps exercise on monday and the other biceps exercise on wed. If that's too many sets make your workout 4 days instead of 3 days and then make it like: mon - workout That's just what I would do...the thing is to experiment and do what works best for you IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() You have a pretty solid routine. I would, however, make a few changes: 1. Move shoulder before chest so Monday you work shoulders, chest, and then triceps. ------------------------------------------ Train...........................(S)mart IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why would you work shoulders before chest? I'm just curious. Everytime I do this my shoulders always fatigue while I'm doing my bench presses. My advice is work bigger body parts first. Unless you have a smaller body part that is lagging. If you're happy with your chest and your triceps, but not with your delts, then I see why it would be okay to train them first. But for a normal routine, I would train body parts from biggest to smallest. ------------------ IP: Logged |
