Dips while you cook your triceps

Published: Sun, 12/09/12

Sometimes doing extra works pays off with regards to building muscle & sometimes it doesn't but at least it's fun
 
I filmed this Dip Video 2 days ago and it was simple reminder to just do simple extra work
 
I said to do chair dips while you cook not just to be funny but because doing extra work like this will help you build muscle
 
This principle of over training a certain muscle to get it to grow works
 
It was the first thing I ever did when working out:doing 100 push ups a day
 
I didn't do this consciously, I simply did it because it felt right...And it made my triceps bigger!
 
But this doesn't work forever
 
Eventually your body gets used to the endurance & lactic acid build up of high rep training (usually after 3 wks you'll get used to high reps...specially since it's only 100 reps....so you can cycle this 3 wks in, 2 wks rest & then do another 3 wks, but this time do 125 push ups instead of 100 and so on, always increasing the # of reps each cycle by 25 or 50 if you need to)
 
The main thing here is that you wanna do 100 push ups a day in order to get your tri's to swell up with lactic acid
 
You can divide the reps in 50/50: one after your workout & one before bed (goal being to build lactic acid in those 50 reps, so do them slower if you must)
 
You simply wanna get your triceps to get used to the "pump"
 
If you have ever done dips you know that they give you a massive pump, so doing this while you wait for your food to be ready can actually help you build muscle
 
How much muscle?
 
Well depends: the more experienced you are with high rep training you have the less effect it will have on you, but if you haven't done much bodyweight then this can be an extra way to help your tri's grow
 
I personally do pull ups, handstands & dips throughout the day and this has helped me to get my arms thicker & stronger from the constant tension work
 
Am not ripping my shirt off when I flex or anything, but I do feel my muscles a lot more fuller
 
Your body eventually adapts to anything so doing extra things like this extra 100 reps can actually help you build muscle in the short term (2-3 months)
 
Simple things like these always make a difference, if it's not physical, it will get you used to doing more work, will build up your character & will train you to not be satisfied with just doing enough
 
You always gotta be hungry for more & simple things like these can give you a mental edge over your competition
 
That's it for today, Give it a try & let me know how it goes
