triceps

Next is a superset of cable pressdowns followed by rope pulldowns(this is light whilt the pressdowns are heavy). I do three sets of those for 9 total. -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!

I always start with full dips, 3 sets of 15, then I go to lying tricep extentions or seated tricep extentions with the curl bar, then kickbacks with the dumbbells, then cable press downs (straight bar) then rope cable extentions. I also work in one arm reverse cable pull downs for variety and a real blast of the tricep. I generally end with the dip machine as heavy as I can go. I don't do more than four of these exercises a workout day, and I have only done 3 sets of ten on all, except for the warm up dips. I also work in bicep exercises in between the tricep exercises. I am with MUTT these days, if you can still itch your nose or your ear, give up another set.
