Biceps Article in Planet Muscle

So just a heads when you go to the magazine stand: the latest issue of Planet Muscle has one of my articles on biceps training. Pick up a copy when you get a chance.


"Hey James, I've recently gotten back into weight lifting, and unfortunately I have a couple of bum shoulders which make it hard to do a good portion of triceps exercises. I know of the most common ones out there and for the most part used to have a good routine. I've noticed that your triceps have really great size and definition (insert gay joke here), and so I was wondering not really of the exercises out there that I could do, but maybe your routine specifically."

Thanks for your help,
T.S.

My Answer: I change my program every so often, but these factors always remain constant in my triceps training:

1) I train heavy and rarely go over 6 reps.

2) I train my triceps with 2 different exercises: a press variation and an extension variation.

3) I go slow on the negative and explode through the positive portion.

4) I flex the triceps as hard as I can at the lockout position.

This is the game plan that I follow, and I outline in great detail in the triceps chapter of Strength and Physique, Volume One.
