Triceps, triceps, triceps

Band pushdownI’m well aware of my need to increase tricep strength. After a few sets of inclines, I decided to give the close-grip bench the low rep/high set treatment (video - 4MB, .wmv), which seemed to work well. Following this were a few sets of skull-crushers (I dropped the weight a little on these in favour of a strict and slow movement) and some band pushdowns - after this they were beginning to tire a little.

Decided to give the Neider press a quick whirl, using a plate rather than the bar. I think I can add this to the same list as triceps. There’s room for improvement.

Warmup: push-ups

Incline bench press (15 deg) 20@20kg, 5@30kg, 5@40kg, 5@50kg, 5@60kg
Bench press (close-grip) 8×3@60kg
Tricep extension 20@25kg, 3×8@30kg
Band pushdown 50@blue, 50@green
Neider press (plate) 10@5kg, 10@10kg, 4@20kg
