tricep death excercise

[DADAWG]

we call it TRICEP DEATH
it requires workout partners and some wood , the boards should vary from 1-4 boards thick for a total of 4 boards .all sets are for 6 reps with the first set to the chest , while locking out the 6th rep a 1 board will be placed on the chest and 6 more reps immediately performed , after 6 reps to the 1 board a 2 board is quickly swapped in , so on and so forth till the 6th rep with a 4 board .
this is a total of 30 reps and if the right weight is used the last rep should be near torture , and the next day your tricps will feel like they are being tortured

fuck i'd die. Sign me up!! I train alone...so i'll just have to borrow one of the guys at the gym for a few minutes. Of course, after i stop by the hardware store to pick up some wood! BOOM!

what type of weight are we talking about? What's do-able for 6 full ROM reps for all 5 sets?

 

[hellawaits77]

Brutal. I'd LOVE to try that. But unfortunately, I workout alone too. I will have to grab one of my buddies that lifts at a different time and some 2x4's and will DEFINATELY "tri" this.

As a side question, like Vadar asked, what type of weight should you start out at? And after this, do you do any more work for tri's, or do you call it a day?

 

[Vadar]

after this, do you do any more work for tri's, or do you call it a day?

i think if you do it right, you'll be begging to go home to see your mamma, needing a big drink of milk & a nap

if you do it wrong, you'll do it at the start of your work out and will be a bit of a weird warm up

 

[hellawaits77]

Definately gonna pick up some 2x4's and try this.

Have done something similar ... my gym has the sturdy foam pads for doing things such as this ... it's tremendous!

 

[Mudge]

I'm gonna have to give this a run in a few days!

 

[hellawaits77]

Yeah, those pads are nice. Wish my gym had them.

Gonna have to just guess the weight to use. I bench around 400, so I'm thinking probably 245. Pretty light, but w/ this shit, I bet the weight feels real heavy real quick.

think of your 5RM, then subtract 10% from that! If you go too light, you wont get the full benefit

 

[DADAWG]

only way to find the right amount is to experiment. as info its usually less than you think it will be.

 

[Scarz]

i'm going to give it a go ONLY because its coming from DAWDAWG, but I will use a spotter just in case, and I advise everyone else going to try it to do the same.

it takes a few people , at least 1 guy holding and changeing boards and 1 spotter . there is no rest between boards , just long enough to set up the boards and then press.

Call me crazy, I guess I'm the only one who didn't understand your explaination but I have no idea otherthan the wood part what you're suggesting to do.

1 set after another without racking the bar , you pause the bar at the top while your buddy changes the boards.
