It depends on how much experience you have and what your workout looks like.Originally Posted by bicepguy3

Depends when you work them. If it's after chest and shoulders then not many. If it's on their own you may want to do a little more. You're question needs more details.

You can't go wrong with 6-9 sets for smaller muscle groups (biceps, triceps) and 9-12 sets for larger muscle groups (legs, back etc.). If you're really experienced you can even do more of course.Originally Posted by bicepguy3

Merkava has some good advice. Don't overwork your triceps, as they get worked by several different muscle groups.
Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

Depends on what your split is too. How many days a week do you workout and what body parts are split up in those days?

you could manage anywhere from 9-16, personally when I do triceps I get about 12 reps in there

I do bis/tris on same day.. 10 sets for each usually.... 4x of a mass move like CGBP then like 3x skullcrushers and 3x cable pull down. Usually after that my arms are feelin good.

that is the worst advise you can tell someone its either you overload your tricep and grow or not bench is not enough to stimulate growth its a walk in the park for triceps they are muscle that are used alle the time so they are more adapted to trainning so more harder to grow them you need to put some serious stress and tension on your tricep and do more sets i do triceps once per week i do 15 sets minOriginally Posted by DJAuto

Your overworking them if your doing 15 min. Muscles grow outside the gym not inside.
