#tricepstraining One of the best way to #exerciseefficiency is the #progressiveoverload principle . The higher the resistance, higher the #musclebreakdown higher the post exercise benefits. And which exercise for triceps loads the most weights with the greatest efficacy?Triceps kickbacks, triceps extensions or #parallelbardips dips? a great mass builder for the #tricepsbrachii . Most people focus extensively on the biceps brachi which can #hypertrophy with heavy back training and don’t really require direct training, BUT they forget, if you want bigger arms that not only look good but also assist your big compound pushing movements, efficient triceps Training is the order of the day!!! I am a strong supporter of #strengthtraining training for obvious reasons and strongly encourage all to compliment your current exercise program with strength training. Here I am on my push (chest, shoulders, triceps) day hitting triceps with weighted dips. You want to always overload the resistance once you can perform 10 reps. Adding a Dumbell or a weight belt increases the overload on the muscle. #muscleoverload Parallel Bar Dips Exercise Type : Compound bilateral Muscles trained : Triceps brachi + anterior deltoid 2 x 8 reps at 65kgs bodyweight + 10kgs added weight Be careful how low you go subject to #shouldermobility Keep increasing the poundage and watch your triceps hypertrophy!!!

I did chest and arms today and what a day it was. For chest I did single arm dumbbell presses rotating in pushups to failure between sets. I did cable flys. I then moved on to the hammer strength chest press. I also did the peck-deck followed by the traditional chest press machine. I pretty much destroyed my chest today. For arms I did 5 sets of preacher curls. I rotated in tricep push downs between sets. I ran at 7mph for 25 minutes on the treadmill. For abs I did crunches followed by plank ass-taps then Roman twists using a 5lb ball rest in between. After I ran I did 3 sets of chin-ups to failure. I must have been on a high from the run because I am usually fatigued after any cardio session. For me this was a good thing. Sometimes it’s good to test our own limits. Once we reach those limits, set some more. I believe knowing that we can go beyond our own limits will not only help us reach our fitness goals faster but will help us in all aspects of our lives! Plus we begin to remove any remaining doubt that we may be unconsciously holding on too. I have been reducing my rest period between sets and exercises for the last few weeks. I have noticed my endurance improving. I also have noticed my muscles going into overload. This helps gives me that killer pump and increases my vascularity. Plus this helps get the blood to my muscles faster which helps them grow. I do get a hit when I’m in this state and I must say that I do like it.
