IMO it should be as heavy as your presses were for building your triceps strength. At the end would be a better place for RP'ing your triceps. My favorite RP was with skullcrushers.

I see what you are saying about toasting the tris and that doing a type of powerlifting movement would overwork the tris... didnt' even think about RPing the tris... What about doing some OVT on the flat press with Decline flies?
I will def. do the RP for Skullcrushers.

Def. thinking along those lines... most likely doing 2 sets of 6 for high pulls and 2 sets of 10 for side laterals so I don't develop too much lactic acid from higher rep ranges....

Def. will. I know back problems and know what my body can't do. so I will pay very close attention to this.

It's a great technique for strength and mass, and Dante's DC training success plays a big part in that. I was thinking along the same lines as you with the incline press and flyes, but I felt that it would be too hard to keep increasing the weights after the 5x5 we just did. You'd have to decrease the weights negating all the progress you made over the past 8 weeks. At least with the smythe, it's a completely new movement, and a new style to adjust to.

I was debating on it, and I do see what your saying about trying something new for a different type of stimulation. But if I take it out do I still do the flies. I've never really done DC RP so I don't know what would follow the bench.
your rebuttal ;)
