Tricep vs. Bicep
For no particular reason, I happened to remember something my high school weight training teacher had said: that the amount of weight used for the triceps should eventually be the same amount of weight used for bicep workouts. I'm curious how many of you actually use the same weight for both muscles (of course the question's not just limited to those two particular muscles, but they illustrate the point best).
I currently use a set of 15 lb. dumbbells and a set of 10 lbs. I had started with a 10 and a 5 and both muscles have gotten stronger at the same rate. Is it realistic for a women to do a tricep extension with the same amount of weight that she curls?
