Tricep

[ethan12]

I do my tricep exercises and chest exercies in the same days. is that bad, since chest excersies also work out your triceps a bit. Am i wearing them out or over working them?

i do 2 types of exercises for both chest and triceps each of 3 sets

 

[Hellawulf]

I would focus on the chest, then hit the triceps as an assitance, but thats ok, in my opinion.

split your upper body workout-

one day- chest, front delts, biceps
another day- back, rear delts, triceps

 

[ExtraMile]

split your upper body workout-

one day- chest, front delts, biceps
another day- back, rear delts, triceps

Or you cuold always do:
Monday - Shuolders, tricep
Tuesday - Back
Thursday - Chest, Biceps
Friday - Legs

Abs can be done on legs and back day...

Or you could do

chest shoulders back legs tri's and bi's Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday 15 reps 4-5 sets each LOL. No offense to anyone else but he didnt ask for another routine. No one bothered to ask him his goals or anything.

No, you are not over training. Post up your goals and diet ect.

I workout my triceps and chest two times a week though. ex. mondays and thursdays

 

[moya]

It's fine.

I do chest and tri's on the same day. You most likely taxed your tri's already doing presses, might as well top it off with a few tricep excercises. No big deal.

i think you would find better results doing heavf barbell bench presses as your main move and then doing one assist move for chest and tris each... twice a week...
read the 5x5 training sticky above...

Do your bench pressing first ALWAYS. The majority of growth stimulation comes from the heavy compound movements such as the bench or a squat. In fact, at 137 lbs you could completely skip tricep-specific excercises and your triceps will growth and virtually the same ratewhether you did skull crushers or not.

Isolation excercises should always take a back seat to te compound movements.



And why are you doing decline bench first? or at all for that matter? Just do flat and incline presing. Both Dumbbells and barbell.
