Most chest exercises use the triceps, so do I need a seprate workout for them?

January 18th, 2010 | by admin |

If I’m working my chest 2 times a week doing bench presses, dumbbell flyes, push-ups, and dips do I need to do triceps focused exercises too? All of those chest exercises use the triceps, and sense I’m working my chest 2 times a week wouldn’t they get worked enough?

You need a better split:
chest/back
Cardio/abs
Bi/sholders
yoga/ abs
Tri/legs
this way you have a day between excersises that would have secondary muscles.

    It depends upon what results you’re seeing at the level you’re working. Everybody responds differently.
    Push ups and dips will work best because you’re using your body’s own weight as resistance.
    If you’re not seeing results with what you’re doing try adding a few French press. They work quickly.
