Examples include close-grip bench presses, upright dips and bench dips with your hands behind your back. Do at least one EZ-curl bar or dumbbell extension in each tri workout. Examples include lying EZ-curl bar triceps extensions, two-arm dumbbell overhead extensions and one-arm dumbbell overhead extensions.
If you do two pushdown exercises, one should be done with an overhand or parallel grip to emphasize the lateral heads and the other should be underhand to emphasize the medial heads. Solutions Lock your elbows in place for all reps until you reach failure. For pushdowns this is easy to do by pressing your elbows against your sides and not allowing them to deviate from that position. After reaching failure with strict reps, you can then loosen your form to eke out a few more reps.
Do this by moving your elbows forward during the negative half of the rep and backward during the positive half. Cheat as little as you must to keep the set going. You want to start by decreasing your overall training time from over an hour down to about minutes maximum for the best results. You should be able to easily fit in your entire arm workout within this amount of time since the muscles of the arm biceps and triceps are rather small muscle groups compared to other larger body parts like the back and legs which carry a lot of muscle mass.
This means that your overall number of sets for your arms will be in the range of sets per workout versus a much higher load of sets for your back and legs. The larger the muscle group, the more overall sets you need to do in order to stimulate growth. So keep your workouts short and super high intensity in order to break down the muscle fibers and make your arms grow.
Another important item to point out is the influence of the arms in training many of your other body parts. For example when you train your back, your biceps are the secondary muscle group being worked and the overall load on the muscle will be significant. What this does is create an overall load on your arm muscles and you could end up running into overtraining issues if you train your biceps and triceps too soon without letting them rest up and fully recover.
To combat this potential issue, try to focus your arm training on days that you do not train your back, chest or shoulders. But, how much training is enough? Since most athletes know that triceps are larger than biceps, they mistakenly assume that they should their triceps harder. However, your triceps help whenever you train your chest and shoulders, thus receiving a triple whammy without enough recovery time. Triceps are actually relatively small muscles, so you should keep your repetition range between eight and Scheduling your high-volume triceps training sessions just two days per week will be appropriate for seeing results.
Completing two to three chest exercises while working out your triceps two days per week will tone you up rather quickly. Chaps, I am currently training with weights 3 times a week splits. The mainstay of my chest exercise is bench press, and the mainstay of my shoulder exercise is the shoulder press, both of which are 'compound' and, I understand, both are 'musts' I also, once a week, do isolation exercises for the triceps.
I am sat here now with aching triceps, again!! Am I overtraining my triceps? If so, how should I modify what I am doing? Digger 12, posts months. When was your last triceps isolation session? Have you added a new isolation exercise in the last few days?
