Where you do dips in your chest and/or triceps workout depends on your strength. If you can't do at least 10 body-weight dips, do them at the beginning of your workout when you're fresh to help build more strength on the exercise.

Focus on Your Chest First In general, we advise trainees to start with chest-focused exercises, such as the bench press, before moving on to triceps-focused exercises. Exercise order matters, and compound movements should usually be done before isolation movements.

Definitely. Your pushing days should focus on the muscles of your chest, shoulders and triceps; pulling days on your back and biceps; and lower days on movements such as squats, deadlifts and lunges for those legs.

Created by world-renowned trainer Sagi Kalev, this cutting-edge program fuses advanced muscle-defining and fat-shedding routines with a highly targeted eating plan to help burn fat, carve lean muscle, and completely transform the body in 90 days.

To that end, beginners should plan on doing four total chest and triceps exercises per session. Advanced lifters can aim for six to seven. Due to the triceps being active on pressing lifts (and the fact that they're smaller muscle groups), you should generally do more chest work than triceps exercises.

Absolutely. “Your triceps are working when you perform bench presses or push-ups, so it makes total sense to pair the two together,” says Caley Crawford, NASM CPT, Director of Education for Row House. But remember: The order of muscles you workdoes matter.

Never Train Delts Or Triceps Immediately Before Chest Same goes for the delts. When a muscle group is compromised because you just trained it, it's easy to guess which area will give out first when moving over to chest exercises.
