If you are fairly well experienced, been lifting for a bit, this is quite possible. I know I never get it any more, unless I do something very rare, and then it is just a little. As long as you are gaining..growing, then I wouldn't worry about it. Are you doing triceps and biceps the same day? May try splitting them up if so. I have a hard time hitting both well when I do them the same day. Usually better workout in one than the other. So I do them on opposite days. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!
