My triceps hate me....

[03trubluGT]

As most of you know, I'm a little older than the average person here, but on Thursday I decided to to back/tri-s with a little enthusiasm.

I always do back first, and then hit the tri-s.

I stretch and do reverse grip bench first, and always start out light and work my way up.

135x8
135x8
185x8
225x8
225x8
275x5
275x5

And here's where I messed up. I went back down to 225 but.....

225x10
225x10
225x10

And then went to 50lb dumbbells for skull crushers.

50x8
50x8
50x8

Next was cable push downs. The stack is 250, but it probably weighs less

250x8
250x8
250x8


I was sore Friday, and still sore today.

Just a quick question. Why back and tris on the same day?

Ya, I do biceps with back. Tris with chest.

I used to to same groups, but found one group would be pre exhausted after finishing the other. This way I can work both groups when fresh and use more weight.

In their own way.

A lot of ppl are using back/tri and chest/bi.. more for the money, its like having two arm day in a week. Plus you can hit it a lot harder too.. So at the end of a back/tri, or chest/bi my arms are fully pumped along with my chest or back.

And doing chest/tri, and back/bi is like having one arm day a week? I've talked to multiple trainers at work and a back and tri day just doesn't make sense. Muscles get stronger when they repair. And while you can kill back and tri's in one day, it's gonna take a lot longer than doing chest and tri's. Muscles that support eachother. I don't wanna tell anybody that they're workout is wrong, because at least they're working out, but it could definitely be more efficient.

i used to do the back/bi and chest/tri thing, but like the other guys said, i get better results when i do back/tri and chest/bi. i think its better because you do a push pull combo instead of a pull pull or a push push.

You get better results how? You're able to lift more weight/tire out slower?

No, you're able to lift a donut quicker and faster without any problems.

This is one of the few forums that I post in to be serious and for information. Not looking to make fun of cops. Especially when the thread was started by a cop that has no problem calling other cops out on their bullshit.

I agree and thank you and everyone that contributes to this section for this!
Hopefully this section of the forum continues to stay this way as well.

I can't help much from personal experience though... mainly because I just do one muscle group a day.
