Many of us see the current crop of top tier pro bodybuilders like Roelly Winklaar, Eduardo Correa or Paul Demayo through the 90’s support horseshoe shaped thick/striated triceps many of us would only dream of. Rarely do we see this on an amateur level, and even more rarely on a natural amateur bodybuilder! Well, we contacted a man who we believe has one of the best sets of triceps in Australia in Guy Mason who competed this year for the first time. Below Guy gives us a little history about himself along with a typical tricep routine letting us know how he built his crazy triceps!

“I train at home in my garage with my wife Lavinia, and prepare for contest myself. I’ve had 2 bad motorcycle accidents which shattered both my legs, 1 arm, my jaw, ribs & tailbone. I now have 12 plates/screws in the left leg, & the right is 3cm shorter, hence me being off & on with training.

I train triceps once a week with back as I favour a push/pull routine i.e. Chest & biceps, back & triceps. I have been training arms off & on since the age of 20.

I only started eating every 3 hours when I started dieting for my May 2012 comps, which diet went for 6 months. Before this I would only eat lunch and dinner.”

Guy Mason’s Tricep Routine to HUGE TRI’S!

Exercise notes:

Skull Crushers- Performed in a strict fashion. Guy typically works up to 50-60kg. In his younger years Guy went as heavy as 75kg.

Avanti seated bicep/tricep machine- Cheating, swinging to get the weight up to total failure. This exercise gives Guy a pump & burn like no other.

Avanti seated bicep/tricep machine (single arm) - Spot myself with the free arm on this exercise.

Note: I don’t believe in exercises such as tricep kickbacks, and focus my routine around compound exercises.
