Tricepts get burned on EVERY excercise!

kieas Posts: 41 Joined: 2005/05/19	2005/07/03, 06:02 AM In doing my workouts it seems that when I hit 'failure' its ALWAYS because of my tricepts. I do shoulder presses, tricepts get tired and I cant do anymore reps. Shoulders still fine. I do decline bench presses. Tricepts give out even sooner. I do incline presses, same. Hell I even do rowing to work my back and my tricepts are so exhausted by then they cant take it. I cant even imagine working tricepts intentonally, every good excercise requires them! I feel Im only doing bicepts and abs to the max (alteast in upperbody). Am I doing something wrong?

I would say it's not a form issue, you need to work on strengthening your tri's -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.
