all but one

I set my ego aside and dropped the weight on most of my excercises. I had the best chest workout of my life and was sore for 2 days after ward in every part of my pecs. I trashed my biceps and they hurt everywhere. And I totally did a number on my back. I have found that form is everthing. But I can never get my triceps sore and it is really starting to get frusturating. Can someone give me some tips. I am trying to gain mass and have been doing the compound excercises with about 1 isolation excercise in everyworkout. I just cant get my triceps sore. I dropped weight on close grip and did it with perfect form, along with pressdowns and dumbbell tricep extenstions and I wasnt the slightest bit sore. ---------------------------- "Imagine what you could do, if you could do what you imagine."

If you position yourself correctly between 2 benches, hands back on one, only feet on the other, and go DEEP. Pretend all other muscles in the body are useless, and you can only move with your triceps, or you are stuck. With a good spotter, you can add weight on your lap for a great burn. 8-10 reps are good. The next best would be incline French curls. On an incline bench, about 30 degrees, have someone hand you the ez curl bar with your amount of weight. Very important on these, come down behind the head for a full stretch. And close grip of course. These 2 exercises in combination are sure to produce mass! Hope this helps. And rremember, quality is important.
