1 x 5-8 reps Machine Shoulder Press Total daily volume: 12 Sets
2 x 6-10 reps Lateral Raises
2 x 5-8 reps Machine Pec Deck
1 x 5-7 reps Chest Supported T Bar Row
2 x 5- 8 reps Lat Pull Down
2 x 6-8 reps Preacher Curl
2 x 6-8 reps V Bar Pushdown

After:
45 Minute Zone 2 Cardio

idk if I should sacrifice stability and opt for a rope pushdown instead, although I do 10kgs less for the same amount of reps to failiure, the rope attatchment seems to give me a much better pump (ik more pump ≠ more hypertropy) and a "deeper feel" in the concentric movement (The rope pushed down).

My arms seems to be my #1 most lacking part of my body in this order from most lacking to least lacking: (biceps, shoulders, triceps)

Im stuck on if I should reprogram so that my biceps/triceps are near the start of the workout to "bias" my lacking muscles

Train legs at least once bro, skinny legs with a muscular upper body you’ll be built like an improper fraction

if youre trying to better bias lacking muscle groups just unilateral them along with isolation exercises
imo best way to grow triceps is one of these attachments ( image ) along with a cable machine
helps isolates your tricep.
and yes lacking muscle groups shld alw be programmed first

I do my extension on a lat pulldown, with this attachment it would be even more peak.

theres smt called a tricep rope attatchment for this lol and you perform sagittal pulldowns with this
totally optional but works wonders for my lats and its a pretty easy setup

I pretty much do the same plus an incline press and an exercise for the lateral and medial heads of the Tricep e.g. JM press
