hypertrophy cycle

[ashley]

Hey there just an update after a night of thinking and planning when doing triceps workouts, I think 2 a week is fine one following chest and the other following shoulders, also to ensure you are getting the correct mix of training on triceps I suggest the following, if you are on a full upper body hypertrophy cycle:

After Chest:

4 x 6 Close Grip Bench Press
3 x 8 Lying Triceps Extension
2 x 12 Powerlifter Pushdowns(flare the elbows out and get over the top of the bar and push straight down)
1 x 24 Hindu Push ups

After Shoulders:

4 x 6 Heavy overhead lockouts (set bar at top of head height in power rack and just push to lockout, great for medial head of triceps and serratus as a bonus)
3 x 8 Weighted Dips
2 x 12 DB Kickbacks
1 x 24 Band Pressdowns

Biceps after back:

4 x 6 EZ Curl Bar curls
3 x 8 DB Twist curls seated or standing
2 x 12 DB Hammer Curls

cheers, ash
