Tricep to tense?

I have been training for a little over a year now, took a lot of off time though with sports.

I've been noticing that over the last few weeks, and I also noticed it a few times in the past, just did show any atention to it.

So today I was doing arms, and I always get a pretty decent nice pump in my bicep.

Now during that, I can flex my ticep and feel my little horse shoe

But when I start working my tricep, I can't feel it anymore, and it dosen't flex. Almost like it gets to tense. My I feel like I have a pump, cause my arm feels more "full", any answer's on why this occurs?

Might be the fact that when you get through a thorough arm workout its harder to flex in general.

I have a very similar thing dude, its just that the medial head gets more pump than the lateral and long heads. wouldnt worry about it too much. at least ur gettin a good pump! if u want to focus on certain heads of the tris u could try exercises such as db kickbacks for the long or vbar pushdowns for the lateral. Compounds such as dips and CG bench will use all 3 and take to focus off 'particular' heads.

just my 2

Haha...trust me man, you should be able to tell the difference between a pump and an injury...feels vastly different.

I get more or less the same problem with my forearms, they get too pumped that I cant grip the dumbells anymore and have to tie em to my wrists with straps to finish my arm workout.

Why you don't pump up your tri's much before you go on stage. It's one of the muscles that are harder to flex with a pump. Same goes for legs and abs.

No worries.
