5 Month Tricep Progression

[Kasinova]

Okay so I am the proudest of my triceps, seems like all the weight that I gain goes only to my triceps. Because of this, I look pretty buff from the side, but from the front I still look pretty lean and skinny.

This is a 5 month progression picture and what I look like now.

Can anybody guess roughly what body fat percentage they think I'm at now? I've been doing a clean bulk all the way with periods of cutting diets every now and then.

Jeez, hard to believe I couldn't even do dips when I started working out. Now I'm adding a 25lb plate for weighted dips. And now I'm doing three 45lb plates on top of me when I do weighted bench dips. I'm shocked at how far I've progressed in five months.

For some reason only my triceps have increased strength like this. Bench press, I'm still doing only 10-15lbs more than before. Biceps, maybe 5-10lbs more than before. Why is this and what workouts can I do to make myself look buffer from the front?

I'm not much help on your questions but I just wanted to say great work and keep it up. You look great

nice tri progress, strange your bench has not gone up most times stronger tri will help in geting a better bench

Great job on the progress. Keep hitting the compound lifts hard and the strength will continue to rise

Yea IDK why, but my chest and biceps are the weakest part of my body. Takes forever to make gains on it. Biceps day is always so boring for me too, curls are the most boring exercise in existence. I do pull downs and pull ups with my palms facing me and that seems to help gain the strength better in my bi's.

I was able to do 39 pushups (real ones, not half-assed ones where you don't go all the way down) in 60 seconds yesterday, but as far as lifting heavy, I still can't do above 25lb plates on the bench.

Wow, good job Kasinova! Your triceps's have developed nicely.

As for your issue about chest strength. I have the exact same problem. I can do seated tricep extensions with a 140lb dumbbell, yet my bench sucks!

What i did was do pushups every night. I would run off 100 push ups each night regardless of how many sets it took (4 sets of 25 or 3 sets of 33 or 2 sets of 50 or..) and try to increase as many as i could in the first set each wk.

So wk one was 27 PU's for the first set. Then wk 2 was 35 PU's in the first set. Then wk three was 42 push ups for the first set. And so on and so forth until i could do 80 PU's for the first set.

Soon you will discover your chest strength increasing, and your bench will follow suit. Give it a try and do not forget to do your push EVERY night.

Good luck.

Every night? No recovery time in between? If you suggest that I'll do it. I mean, it looks like you know what you're doing.


Soooo does anybody have a rough estimate of how much body fat I have right meow?

 

[MickeyKnox]

Every night no recovery, thats correct.

And here's a rough idea on BF:
