SAVAGE MIND

This is part of one of my go-to tricep compound sets. I actually have a 3 exercise and 5 exercise giant set versions I perform. I'll save that for another day. Tease.

The main purpose of this compound set is to work different heads of the triceps.

When I perform compounds (2 exercises of the same group) or giant sets (3 or more) and using the same weight I ask myself what is the hardest exercise?

And then proceed to perform the exercise from hardest to easiest. Why? why? Why?

Well if your working different areas of that muscle usually the easiest is the one that uses more muscle fibers. This may be due to the angle, range of motion, or the size of the muscle being used.

If I want to make it challenging through all the sets I will perform the hardest first, fatiguing specific muscle fibers then proceed to the next where those muscles are pre-fatigued and make the easier exercise just as hard. Boom.

Oh and play with your tempos. If I perform these daily, I switch up my tempos from quick 10 reps at 1 sec positive & negatives, to 8 reps with 3 second negatives, etc. I'll just adjust the weight accordingly.

Oh Savage Coach, "What weight should I use?"

Whenever I suggest REP numbers (usually on the illustrations) then the weight you use should be tough for that suggested REP.

10 reps means that the 10th rep is tough, maybe you can muster up 1 or 2 more reps but that's it.

Otherwise, you're just warming up, Gladys.
