 | Tricep Building Hi, i'm Will, and 18 years old. I've been training now for the best part of 9 months, so not a long period at all really. I feel that I have made some fairly impressive gains since when I began (considering i'd never worked on any types of weight lifting before), and i'm currently really enjoying training. The pic of me posted shows me a month or two ago, and I have slightly improved since, however I feel my gains a becoming less obvious and I would really appreciate any tips on how to over come this stall in my training. The area that i'm mostly concerned about are my triceps. I tend to train triceps on the same day as my chest work out, and have about 3 - 4 seperate exercise for the triceps, including dips, rope/bar pulldowns and French Press. However, i'm really looking to improve the main 'bulk' of the tricep and don't yet feel I really have this. I know a well built triceps are the key to a full-looking arm, and I was wondering if anyone here knew any good techniques on tricep building. Thanks in advance, Will. |

   | You are probably overtraining your triceps dude. Leave them alone, work on the compounds, get in enough protein/calories and you will grow. Take a read of the first link in my sig "How to Grow" which should give you some tips. You look very impressive in your pic by the way. You are extremely lean and have got an extremely good base for bulking with for only 9 months training. You look better than many people do with years of training. I don't see any problem with your triceps in the pic. If I were you, I'd just look to get bigger all over, and worry about lagging bodyparts (if there really are any) later.

| i agree with big, imo to many people waste time with lots of cable movements for tris. my tris grow from heavy benching, overhead pressing and weighted dips. if you do want a specific tri exercise try close grip bench presses on a smith machine making sure you keep your elbows tooked in, a couple of heavy sets should do the trick. |

| All is said above. Very lean bro, you look really good. Triceps get hit in bench, inclines, declines, military press. You dont have to add much to that other than maybe dips and or close grip bench.

| I agree with big, it will be very difficult to increase arm mass to a substancial degree without increasing overall mass. Stick to the basics, eat, eat and eat some more and grow like a weed... Eat clean but dont worry about putting on a little bodyfat, your exceptionally cut and you'd have no problem stipping it back im sure..
