On day 2, you’re going to be hitting chest and triceps with me in the gym. This is where you learn how to “push” weight properly. The triceps are a secondary muscle when training chest, which means they help support the pectorals in many of the exercises common to chest training. With the blood flowing through this portion of the body, and the triceps warmed up, it’s a great time to train them.
