Triceps

[Johnnie Walker]

It's the combination of a short torso (limits muscle mass somewhat compared to the same development over a long torso), short humerus (not long enough to hold considerable mass in the triceps) and long forearms (triceps need to work harder than usual)

But that's not really an excuse anyway. It's just what I was born with and what I have to deal with. I am not suited to squatting either but still mange to put up decent weights. But basically I just need to bro it up. Neurological efficiency is all well and good when you have a considerable amount of muscle mass but trying to develop it when you don't have a good base of muscle mass is fucking stupid. I'll post my back at some point, a proper lat spread- that is why my deadlift is good lol

Exactly no excuse! Dont hear me whinging i have to bend down to far to deadlift lol. Put some musclse on

Tricep kickbacks is where it's at.

^^ theyre hard to progressively overload at a point



single arm extensions are my personal favourite (got them from alberto nunez)

You don't need to progressively overload when you're going after a pump

Thought's on tricep bars?
Partially thinking of getting one, or an ez bar, or just sticking with normal barbell

For me it's cost for the use you get
You'd get good use from a full length, rackable multi-grip bar

Something like this would be awesome, can use it for everything:

Band pushdowns - high reps, like 100 rep sets.
V-bar pushdowns

 

[Alpha Moth]

100 reps on a band? really?

 

[DREADLIFT]

Banded sets of 25 do me fine for flushing the triceps, 100 reps isnt the same effect with banded pushdowns as it is with 'poundstone curls'.

 

[0ni]

100 reps on a band? really?

Yes it's great
It's one of those things I am supposed to be doing every night but then go to bed and am like "oh I forgot do those pushdowns" but can't be fucked to get out of bed

100 reps on a band? really?

When I was having a crack at my 210kg bench I was doing 100 band pressdowns a day

I agree with that, i dont train my biceps much either

Biceps are one bodypart I find hard to train - its boring as all fuck - maybe max of 4 sets a week

 

[Johnnie Walker]

I just dont like lookimg like every other twat in the gym doin bicep curls lol. Been well put off! Would much rather massive triceps, my arms arnt that big but triceps already way out if proportion haha. Non existant biceps and they never grow anway

You wouldnt belev it man, but by training your biceps they will actually grow lol ?

every little bit counts

 

[Jungnaut]

standing one arm DB skullcrushers always gives me tricep DOMS the next day for sure. feelsgreatman. Next up would have to be tricep rope pushdowns, but done about 2 metres extended from the cable machine to get the best leverage, not right up humping against the machine like everyone else seems to be fond of. Biceps? Just do pullups lol. 5 sets of 10 and tell me you don't get a burn lmao!

 

[0ni]

Those incline skullcrushers were something else!

next day is nothing, when your still struggling 7 to 10 days later you know you hit em solid, all this "i hit them every day", well you didn't hit hard enough!!!
