Triceps

[Edu]

How some of you don't work your triceps, only indirect work.
You see your triceps growth, I can't imagine a training withaut specifc exercises for triceps.

so you have never done any pressing movement heavy enough to work your triceps?

I dunno about you, but when I work a specific muscle group (i.e. chest or shoulders) I am concentrating on THAT muscle's involvement primarily and it's contraction to failure. So, I get only an indirect pump to other muscle (i.e. triceps). So, I require further direct stimulation to triceps to thrash them into growth.

Skull crushers 3 heavy work sets/low reps
Overhead dumbell extensions 3 heavy worksets/low reps
Pushdowns 2 medium work sets/medium reps.

My tris are def growing right now.

I used to think my arms were worked hard enough from compound chest and back work, but I noticed those lifts were going no where until I had an day just for arms.

I like to train tris at the end of the week with biceps. After all the indirect work they get all week they get hammered and then get the weekend off.
