Episode notes
Pre-Exhaust Superset
- Try a pre-exhaust superset: rope press downs immediately followed by dips or close-grip bench presses.
- Use light weight for the compound lift, as triceps will be pre-exhausted.
Best Tricep Exercises
- Do close-grip bench presses and weighted dips for bigger triceps.
- Use a shoulder-width or slightly narrower grip for close-grip bench presses to protect your wrists.
Tricep Training Tip
- Prioritize elbow position over grip when training triceps for optimal results.
- Include exercises with elbows at sides, in front, and overhead.
