i see workout routines which involve tricep and chest on the same day
but when u workout triceps..wont u be tired out from heavy pressing..?
unless the weight is reduced for triceps from i normally do...but wouldnt that hit the triceps less.. - intensity?
i tried it before..and the bar just collapsed onto my stomach when i did my close grip bench press

You always should work the bigger muscle first. Never do triceps before chest on the same day.

agreed, your chest is a bigger muscle, work your chest first, and therefore it pre-exhausts the tricep, so you will not be able to lift as heavy, it doesnt mean its not as intense you are just exhausting the muscle completely.Originally Posted by iliketodoit
