My triceps are stiff was created by Pumped
Hey guys i have been training for about 8 years now but whenever i train my triceps they are stiff for abot 4 days afterwards even when on juice and my diet is solid , i get around 250grams of protein per day.What is the perfect balance of sets and reps for a massive tricep?
Because i might just be overdoing it.

Help please chaps,shot.

You guys might think I'm crazy,but i know how to achieve greatness.

3 Exercises of 3 sets each.
6-10 reps per set.
I find if i do more than that, they dont grow, as i am overtraining them.

Give it a shot, you're only TESTing it...

You try stretching them between sets and post workout?

Sorry guys Apparently it is true, cause its happened to certain people already, so I’m not taking any chances !!

My tri's grow pretty quickly. But i hammer them with volume - they seem to need it.
4-5 warm-up sets with ropes, lat machine, reverse grip etc. Elbows take time to warm up for heavy sets.

3 Drop sets ropes. HEAVY as you can to do 8 on the first and then 6-8 on the 2 that follow.
same for the bent bar push downs.
4 sets close grip bench press.
4 sets lying tri extention/skull crushers
as many sets to finish off the tris on dips. normally about 2.

I can feel i trained them when flexing 4 days after. They have always been my best bodypart.

Thursdays are long. No fart-assing around and we get done in 1:20. But there is no other option. Bi's/Tri's and forearms. Luckily Bi's get fried quickly and uses much less time. Forearms pretty much the same - sometimes i squeeze out only 1 or 2 hammers, reverse curls, wrist curls.
