Re: You want big arms? Work your triceps!

I do tricep extensions like this:

Lie flat on your back on the floor (not bench), grab a dumbell with your usual weight on it. Raise one of your arms straight up 90 degrees to the floor with palm facing body. Lower your forearm and hand down bending at the elbow until its 90 degrees or parallel with floor behind your head. Repeat this with your set reps. I use my other free hand to support my elbow and keep it dead straight at 90 to the floor. last 4 reps hold for a while at the 90 negative

Every session leaves my tri's sore next day!

what is the french press and technique?

Re: You want big arms? Work your triceps!

Never heard of any exercise being refered to as a french press. Is it similar to an overhead extension like this:

Re: You want big arms? Work your triceps!

Never know the name of this one. Probably simliar to weighted dips or manually seated dips.. I donno..

Anyway put feet on one bench, hands on the edge of another and put a few 20kg's plates on your lap. Can get upto 4 plates and after that it feels like someone kicked my tri's.

Yes, that is an Overhead French Press, a Lying French Press is what some refer to as skull crushers.

I would do the OH one seated with a back support though, on a high inc bench.

Re: You want big arms? Work your triceps!

Cheers for clearing that up, i do actualy do them, just never knew what they were called

Do you think 4 excercises consisting of 3 sets of 8 reps is overdoing the tri's?
I usually aim to do every bodypart with the same amount of workout

Re: You want big arms? Work your triceps!

My arms are lagging behind the rest at present. Is it necessary to work arms on separate day for best results?

I work my tris on push day and bis on pull day.

I think this approach is best,however,i'd say it probably depends on your overall current routine.

Given your arms aren't progressing it may be time for a change,whether that be training frequency,volume or exercise choices.

Re: You want big arms? Work your triceps!

thanks m8 thats good information!
my tricep routine is

warm up: dips 20 reps
3 weighted sets
1 x 10 - 20 kg dumbell
1 x 8 - 25 kg dumbell
1 x 6-8 30kg dumbell

close grip bench press

3 x 8 - 80 kg

overhead dumbell extension

3 x 10 15 kg dumbell

reverse grip pulldown

1x 10-25 kg
1x 8- 30 kg
1x6- 35 kg

is this a good workout for tricpes? or do you reckon they are being over trained i feel a good pump after my session.
