Either that or he panicked when a few vicoden fell out of his pocket mid-set  ;D

Related story.....my ex-partner and i were in the bank on a Friday, we had just picked up some shit and were getting cash to go out. So i'm digging into my pocket and i had one of those old-school glass vials filled with coke in it, and it falls out and hits the ground with a loud *CLINK*....everyone turns to look at what made the noise and there's me and my buddy standing there with a vial of coke at our feet.  ;D

I'm thinking about changing my arm routine as of next week
I think I need to improve my arms
I'm always open to learn from anyone
 my bis grow like weeds even though my tris are good my bis standout
so post up your arm routines mainly tricep routines

chin-up / dip superset
add/remove weight as needed

Haha,
years ago when I used to smoke I got pulled over for speeding.the cop made me get out of the car so he could search it.he told me to put both hands on the trunk and I knew he was gonna pat me down next.I had a big bag of pot in my pocket so I pulled it out and kicked it under my car.after he searched the car and me {he found nothing} he gave me a ticket....so I'm sitting in my car wondering if I pull away would he see the bag laying on the side of the road! he wouldn't leave so I drove away.later that night I parked around the corner,{I was worried the cops would be waiting for me to come back ::)}snuck through the woods like I was in the special forces and mad a dash and grabbed my bag back.

Another classic ;)

A buddy of mine got pulled over on the Jersey tpk.the police searched his car and found a bag of pot.
the cops said "I'm not gonna arrest you".so instead the cop emptied the bag on the hood of my buds car and told him "'I'm gonna follow you for three exits,now drive"

....dude watched his stash blow away :D

@ Parker
the dip machine phil uses looks nice .. The one we have in our @hardcore gym was isn't as good I just feel it in my shoulders dips I feel more in my chest and delts
I know the excersise your talking about with the cable row attachment I tried that excesis can't say I felt it in my triceps felt a lot is my shoulder.  May give them another try

i was going to suggest trying isolation exercises too. dorian yates advocates the same thing. he never did compounds for tri's because he felt like his tris already got ton of compound involvement during chest and shoulders. i like doing single hand grip,  pallms down, push downs on the pulley machine for a good 4-5 sets and then do single arm overhead dumbell extensions with real strict form 4--5 sets and maybe do some single hand grip, palms up, push downs on the pulley for 3-4 sets. depends on my strength. last workout i was doing negatives with the whole stack on single hand grip push downs and using real god form and lowering the weight super slowly. this was after i had done 4 good sets with 100lbs stack with each arm.

@sauce
that's it? Over head dumbell extensions hit the the inner long head and close grip apparently hits the overall tri ... What about the medial and lateral head don't you do anything  to hit these exclusively?
Do your tris grow from your current routine?

I do, do close grip presses immediately after skull crushes which I stole from ronnie's videos.

I haven't noticed much growth in recent years but I've been going for 13 years, so progress is relatively slow anyways.  For the most part I treat arms as secondary muscles on back and chest day.  My tri's are usually exhausted from the amount of benching i do beforhand so I go heavy with a limited amount of exercises.  I used to do pushdowns and dips for years but I don't feel they work the tri's nearly as hard as those other two movements. Specifically skull crushers. (if I were to choose only one exercise for tris that would be the one I'd choose) also if you're used to doing two hand tricep extensions switch it up for a couple weeks to one arm, should burn for a good week before you're body gets use to it.

Phil does relatively light weights compared to most pros.  I've only watched his first vid but he was only doing around 415 for deads at like 8 reps or so if my memory recalls.  He really is a genetic freak..

I think  it's still too early to tell.  Right now, no.  He doesn't look as good as those guys, except for maybe cormier and baker. 

He's only been doing this for what 8 years? if that?
who knows if he could eventually pull ahead.  I don't think he has as good of a structure as flex he's more or less closer to levrone in that area. but like Ronnie maybe he could carry just as much mass and still look aesthetic then you might say he is one of the most genetically gifted men competing today.

Heavy Close grips and Skulls 6-10 reps, then pump the shit out of them with pushdowns, machine overhead extensions, etc. for light sets of 15-20.

By light I meant 5-6 sets of 15-20 until you hit failure because your triceps are so full. Obviously that necessitates a fairly light weight.

But if you like 4 rep max pushdowns, by all means knock yourself out with those, my friend.  :D

Good choice. High rep hammer curls are good for that too.
