Sore traps and triceps after back day??

[Pigwheels]

I did Dorian Yates back day http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/dori...ood-guts-2.htm yesterday, and my traps and triceps are sore; not my back!

None of those (other than the pull overs) lifts work tricep as a secondary muscle, and none of them (except the rows) work traps, yet I'm actually pretty damn sore in those two areas, with very minimal back soreness.

Anyone know what's up?

Lolzie so you not count traps as part of back

True, but I was expecting it to be more on the back part of my lats more than traps. And the triceps; WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? No idea how they're so sore

One of the functions of the tricep is shoulder abduction (? I forget the term), basically a chin up motion

apparently the word is circumduction

Judging by your avi pic, i find it weird you asking such a weird question lol.


On a more helpful note, traps are on your back and a part of your back... so hmm.

and triceps is weird lol

The traps are involved in all pulling/scapular movements, and pullovers activate the triceps.

Do you usually do pullovers? This moght cause tricep soreness especially if you bend you arms on the way down. Traps get work with back.

It's not uncommon to experience soreness in your traps and triceps after a back day workout. This is because these muscles are involved in exercises like pull-ups, rows, and lat pulldowns which target the back muscles but also require engagement from other muscle groups like the traps and triceps.

It's also possible that you may have overworked these muscles inadvertently while trying to compensate for weaker back muscles. To alleviate the soreness, try stretching these muscles after your workouts, using a foam roller to massage them, or taking a break from working out those specific muscle groups for a few days until they recover. Remember to listen to your body and adjust your workout accordingly if you experience excessive or prolonged soreness.

I do not quite agree, but thanks for the opinion.
