Weird Exercise for Massive Tri’s
Q: I was checking out your X-Training Blog and noticed that you include dumbbell pullovers in your triceps routine. What’s up with that?
A: While the DB pullover is an excellent stretch-position move for the lats in Positions-of-Flexion mass training, it’s also one of the best exercises for the long head of the triceps. That’s the section that really fills out the back of the upper arm and gives it that eye-popping sweep when it’s down by your side or up flexing your peak.
That makes the pullover perfect for our direct/indirect workouts, getting some residual lat work on arm day (we also use undergrip pulldowns for biceps for even more indirect lat work).
We’ve noticed other bodybuilders using pullovers for triceps as well. Our friend and drug-free IFBB pro Dave Goodin uses the Nautilus pullover machine in his triceps workout. That’s even better because you get the long head engaged from the stretch position all the way down to a complete contraction. Dave said it’s helped pack new size on his tri’s.
Note: For more ideas and complete workouts for putting more size on your bi’s and tri’s, see X-traordinary Arms.
Q: Do you guys think you would make better progress if you trained more than four times a week?
A: Maybe, maybe not. We did make the gains you see at the X-Rep homepage training five days a week (see the Mass-Detail Workout in our very first e-book, The Ultimate Mass Workout, for that full X-Rep transformation program).
Now we both have families, and there are a lot of responsibilities there and at our jobs with IRON MAN magazine. Four-days-per-week training simply fits us better at this point in time–and it’s working fine. With efficient mass-training tactics like X Reps and 4X sequences, we are at our highest in-shape bodyweights –Jonathan is 207 and Steve is 202, and we both have abs. We’re hoping to get back in the studio and look even better than previous years…
One of our goals is to find the minimal dose of exercise for the maximum muscular response, staying within our parameters–four days a week and training on our lunch hour, although sometimes our workouts run somewhat past an hour.
After our experiments with 4X training, X Reps and Power-Density workouts in addition to what we’ve learned about sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar muscle-fiber growth recently, we are convinced that most trainees can achieve a bodybuilder physique very quickly training about an hour four days a week–perhaps even less.
Till next time, train hard–and smart–for BIG results.
