Just how much could we possibly pack into one day? Let me tell you that my family and I did quite a bit on our first day in Singapore. We had arrived from a seven-hour flight from Sydney and we were keen to make the most of our short two-day stopover on the Island nation.
Rising with the sun at 6.30 a.m. we enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast at the hotel's cafe. Not wanting to miss any opportunity to sample local delicacies I piled (name the things that I ate) on my plate. I enjoyed the chance to try the famous Roti Canai, a fried paratha that is rolled out until wafer thin, then folded over so that it forms layers: similar to puff pastry. This version was served with a pickle made from carrots and zucchini.
Something that I was keen to master was the art of using chopsticks in the correct manner. According my Japanese-loving sister, the way that I held my chopsticks, at a 45-degree angle and pivoting the top stick vertically between my thumb and pointer, was "American".
"I don't get it" I said, trying my best to mimic her movements.
"How many times do I have to tell you. It's so easy," she said. Looking across the table at her hands she held her chopsticks horizontally and scooped her food from the side, as one would with a spoon. When she picked up a piece of fruit the sticks would form a cross at the end before clamping around the food (see note). In the end I put the chopsticks aside and picked up a fork.
A highlight of the buffet was the option to have your eggs cooked by the chef. Whilst my parents enjoyed an Indian-style tomato, green capsicum and chilli omelette, I wanted bacon and mushroom. The chef cracked 2 eggs into a bowl and whisked them briskly before pouring them into a iron pan. The egg splattered and billowed up into a fluffy pillow, onto which the he sprinkled diced bacon and sliced mushrooms. Using his spatula he flipped one-third over and sealed it with the other end. Perfect.
- 1 tbsp butter (or olive oil if you're watching your waist)
- 2 free-range organic eggs
- 20g of the filling of your choice (cured meats, mushrooms, green capsicum, olives, tomatoes, cheese, herbs etc.)
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and mix lightly with a fork to the whites and yolks together. Avoid the temptation to make a soufflé.
Heat a shallow-sided frying pan over a medium heat. When it starts to smoke add the butter and swirl to coat the base.
Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan so that pan is coated with the mixture. Top the omelette with your preferred fillings. Fold over a third of the omelette, then the other third to form an envelope. Serve.
Note: when you master the art of using chopsticks you can do this.
Happy Cooking and Keep Smiling,
Brendon 🙂

Rover, Sky Crane, Heat Shield and Parachute Located from Orbit by HiRISE
More awesomeness from HiRISE! A new orbital image shows the Curiosity rover sitting on Mars' surface, along with all the accoutrements needed to get it there safely: the heat shield, backshell, parachute, and the Sky Crane. The High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera captured this image just 24 hours after MSL's landing.
"This is like the crime scene photo here," HiRISE team member Sarah Milkovich said during a press conference on Aug. 7.
Of course, yesterday the HiRISE team revealed they had captured MSL in the act of landing.
In re-inacting the scene of the crime, er… incredible landing, the heat shield, lower right, was the first piece to hit the ground, followed by the back shell attached to the parachute, then the rover itself touched down. Then, and finally, after cables were cut, the sky crane flew away to the northwest and crashed.
The heat shield is about 1,220 meters (4,000 feet) from Curiosity, the backshell and parachute are about 610 meters (2,000 feet) away from the rover, and the Sky Crane is about 620 meters (2,100 feet) away.
The relatively dark areas in all four spots are from disturbances of the bright surface dust, revealing darker soil underneath. If you look closely, even visible are the black streaks where the sky crane thrusters kicked up dust. Malkovich said scientists have looked at the streak patterns to verify Curiosity's orientation — which confirms the information from the rover's first pictures from surface.

The darkened radial jets from the sky crane are downrange from the point of oblique impact, much like the oblique impacts of asteroids. In fact, NASA said, they make an arrow pointing to Curiosity.

HiRISE's image of MSL's landing site shows the rover and the hardware doing their jobs exactly as they were designed to do.
The image was acquired from a special 41-degree roll of MRO, larger than the normal 30-degree limit. It rolled towards the west and towards the Sun, which increases visible scattering by atmospheric dust as well as the amount of atmosphere the orbiter has to look through, thereby reducing the contrast of surface features. Malkovich said that future images taken from a higher angle will show the hardware in greater detail.

Your crop of the sky crane seems to be flipped relative to the context overview.
First impression? Dust.. extremely light dust, on the surface anyway is to be expected. I am beginning to see a reason for Curiosity to visit one of the other impact sites… NASA so far thinks otherwise. Tay, take spectroscopy with and without a dust covering….
So the dirt that was exposed to the rockets has a darker color. Similar to the footprints of the moonlandings.
disregard post…:)
By "dirt", you mean the underlying darker strata? Am wondering what kind of excavations might be done with jets of compressed N2 or other inert gas? Too bad NASA dint include a "leaf blower"? One mounted, on say, a miniature robotic arm?
Am leaning toward a lens cleaning/rock dusting 'leaf blower' mechanism…. By the way… I could design and document that idea… if anybody's interested?
with a little more fuel and code that skycrain could have landed and been repurposed as a solar powered weatherstation/seismograph logger.
lovely little bugger. the coordination of those 8 motors is most impressive.
good idea, it seems only litter now . .
I wonder if in 500 years time it'll be some poor bugger's job to clean that mess up…
If that's the case, I'm sure you could substitute "poor bugger" with "archaeologist" and "clean that mess up" with "preserving the artefacts at the Smithsonian". You could easily claim that anything we dig up today at archaeological sites is "garbage". It probably was at the time.
Good point.
I hear that was at one point a consideration, re-purposing the crane as a secondary science unit, but per the added complexity to the over-all mission as well as weight added for extra instruments, it was scuttled.
"…solar powered weather station and seismometer…" I like your thinking! 20-20 hindsight eh?
Looks like Curiosity is just 300 m from the alluvial fan due north. It is a pity they if wouldn't go and take a look before reversing towards Mount Sharp. It is what, 1-2 weeks excursion time?
I agree, but I'd say they would wan't to focus on the mission priorities ATM. It'd be a shame if this rover died and there was little science returned.
Mars scientists are well aware of the rock varnish story and its significance as bio- signature. Actually the MER's already got some nice hints in regards to the FE/MN ratios in certain samples for instance. BUT Mars scientists are trained to stick to mission objectives therefore such interesting things are mostly ignored – detecting life extant/extinct has been no mission objective since Viking on Mars.
Here is some nice information about rock varnish: http://alliance.la.asu.edu/dorn/VarnishPages/GeochemicalSediments/GeochemicalSediments.html
Lets hope the participating MSL scientists are a bit more free to also address things beyond the mission scope – I read that parts of the MSL science team trained in Australian areas with ancient stromatolites and other (micro-)fossils from billions of years ago. 🙂
Gale crater though was the worst landing spot of the remaining 4 from an astrobiology point of view. For astrobiologists Mawrth Vallis or the Eberswalde delta would have been the place to go.
A request here: I am trying to find a more zoomed-out image on which I can pinpoint the geological features seen in the image at the top of this article (particularly the boundary between the light rock and the dark rock). I want to see precisely where that is in the wider context of Mars geography. Anyone know where to find one? Images that show the whole of Gale Crater are too zoomed out for the same features to be recognisable.
have you checked
I was hoping not to have to resort to the five hundred megabyte file, but if need be I guess I can leave it downloading overnight if that's what it takes. 🙂
I've created my own by downloading the enormous TIF and trimming/resizing it: http://outerhoard.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/curiosity-landing-out.jpg
Hirise website is down….I took the liberty of correcting their error message
this is how a bottom of a huge crater looks like? I mean the place where Curiosity was supposed to get in .
@Deejay – I don't understand what point you are trying to make. Curiosity *is* inside a huge crater, next to an in-crater mountain – so these images really are what the inside of a huge crater looks like from the viewpoint of a satellite orbiting overhead.
Ya, the crater is about 96 miles in diameter with a central peak rising about 3 miles from it's bed. The large size makes it look uncrater-like from the middle.
I believe these robotic probes sent to Mars prove that robotics is the way to explore the solar system.
Has anyone seen an image like this showing the landing ellipse? I'd be interested to know just where in the landing ellipse Curiosity touched down.

Author: Gregg Rosenblum
Edition: Hardcover
Published: January 8, 2013
Publisher: HarperTeen
Pages: 265
Source: Bought from National Book Store
Category: Dystopia. Sci-Fi
Trailer: not applicable.
Twenty years ago, the robots designed to fight our wars abandoned the battlefields. Then they turned their weapons on us.
Only a few escaped the robot revolution of 2071. Kevin, Nick, and Cass are lucky —they live with their parents in a secret human community in the woods. Then their village is detected and wiped out. Hopeful that other survivors have been captured by bots, the teens risk everything to save the only people they have left in the world—by infiltrating a city controlled by their greatest enemies.
Revolution 19 is a cinematic thriller unlike anything else. With a dynamic cast of characters, this surefire blockbuster has everything teen readers want—action, drama, mystery, and romance. Written by debut novelist Gregg Rosenblum, this gripping story shouldn't be missed.
Transformers. Reel Steel. Terminator. Battle: Los Angeles. These are some of the films I loved that are all robots inspired. When I read the synopsis of Revolution 19, I can't help but gasp because I have never read such kind of literature. So I bagged a copy home though I've devoured it after a couple of months. I've seen a lot of negative reviews about this and I respect them so much. But still, those didn't make me falter and am just so glad this review is a positive one.
Couple of decades back, the human race created robots to be the front lines in battles. However, robots started to increase their intelligence and eventually took over the race. Several years after, humans were all being governed by robots and anyone who tries to escape or rebel against them gets killed immediately. Nick, Kevin and Cass, together with their parents, live in a small community with the other survivors of robot revolution. With very little means, they have been resourceful and their parents teach them whatever they can. While in the forest, Kevin picked up an unusual device only to find out later that it was a tracking device. Their community was attacked, most of their friends died but their parents were missing. They agreed to go to the City, where humans are held hostage and are used as slaves, and find their parents. So then the fight begins.
Wow. This novel was just.. wow! How am I even supposed to review this thing? The plotting was a very strong depiction of a world where mechanism rules. A very very strong one. Everywhere you try to look, you'd see abandoned towns, scraps and metals and a very hard life. It was always about survival, not from hunger but from metals trying to capture you and turn you into something controllable. Or even death. These robots can shoot simply because of a random movement analysis. It was all high tech!! Being in the IT/Tech Industry, one would be able to appreciate Rosenblum's attempt in encapsulating real data with fantasy. He created a movie-worth novel that I absolutely drooled over just because! The technology Rosenblum developed is possible to occur in the future and I appreciated how he molded the story for people to at least learn basic things about the ever growing technology. This defies the norm we see in the young adult genre and I liked how bold Rosenblum was in venturing in such prose that highly risks the success of it. There were also inconsistencies and some "glitches" in the novel that wouldn't go unnoticed like how on earth these "kids" would be able to save human race from robots and why the adults get captured when they should be more logical and ahead when it comes to survival tricks. But I feel like there would be a lot explanation in book 2 so I am still giving it a chance to patch those up.
The fact that despite the scarcity of the basic necessities in life, Nick's family remained knit. The novel exhibited how intact a family should be when faced with struggles. I think the siblings are stronger together. I don't see how each of them would survive with one another and its as if their talents compliment each other's. Nick is overprotective and sometimes he becomes irrational while Kevin needs more attention but I like how skilled he is at his young age. He's got so much potential. I appreciated Cass' love for her adoptive family and how much she is willing to risk to protect them. However, I don't understand Lexi's character. I know she helped the siblings but why trust a person who is all over their wanted list and why help just because you are bored? I WASN'T EXPECTING ANY HEAVY ROMANCE IN THIS AT ALL BECAUSE I THINK IT DID FOCUS MORE ON SCI-FI ASPECT but I just didn't understand her. Or maybe she's a child flirting with a child. Or something like that.
Revolution 19 is a novel that would make you paranoid every time you turn the page! It is highly recommended for those who are into futuristic technology and loves battles with robots! It is built in a foundation of cynical people that you would wonder yourself, who to go to! Decent pacing, filled with action and full of surprises!

Power Flushing
Did You know corrosion within central heating systems accounts for 90% of all system/boiler failures.
Rust occurs in all central heating systems producing an (iron oxide) sludge causing the following problems:
- Dirty black or brown water present when bleeding radiators confirms system corrosion.
- Radiators cold at bottom due to sludge.
- Radiators cold all over due to blocked valves and pipes.
- Irritating boiler noise from sludge, a warning sign of imminent costly problems.
- Boiler cutting out and no circulation due to blocked pump or pipe-work.
- Radiators cold at top and need bleeding due to gases, a by product of rusting.
Benefits of a power-flush:
- Efficient central heating and hot water
- Optimum working hot radiators and hot water
- Lower fuel bills
- Corrosion protected central heating
- Scale protected system
- Peace of mind
- Central heating system cleaned as thoroughly as possible
The power-flushing process:
Power-flushing is the process by which central heating systems are forcibly cleansed using water and chemicals at high velocity, but low pressure, so that no physical damage is caused to the system. A power-flushing machine replaces your heating pump or radiator and your system is drained down and filled with fresh water and heavy duty cleansing chemicals. Each radiator is then cleansed individually until they are clean and all sludge is removed. Once every radiator has been treated and the water is running clear inhibitor and anti-freeze is then added to your system to stop any further corrosion.

I spent the end of last season saying that Chelsea's sudden improvement after AVB left was proof that their players weren't trying the hardest for him. So when he was made manager of my beloved Spurs I was willing to give him a chance. But now I'm not so sure we can afford to.
First there is the debacle of this transfer window when he allowed some of our best players to leave without decent replacements and he tried to offload others and when he couldn't he includes them in the squad for match days. Do he really know what he is doing?
And to top it all off it seems that he doesn't understand that Spurs play attractive attacking football his tactics in the last two games are more reminiscent of the man in the mac than of a manager in the spurs style.
My fear is that he will turn out to be another Christian Gross. I really hope not so please AVB prove me wrong show me and all spurs supporters that you do know what you're doing and that you understand how a Spurs side should play. COYS!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Hey all!
I know I have posted about this one before, however brief, but I just had to do another post on it since I finally got my hands on a bottle a while back and it needed it's own post with more photos!
Raindrops was re-releasd back in Feburary for the Valentines day collection Broken Heart. It is a sheer cool toned grey with silver fleck through out, it needs 3 thin coats to reach opacity but drys quite fast and applies with minimal effort. Swatches below show 3 thin coats with 1 layer of Poshe top coat.
I really like this polish, it's a good pallet cleanser and a bit more "work friendly" than all my other polishes.

Post by: Tales From The Surface
It's almost noon. A time of day in the jungle when I can move about in relative safety. Most predators hunt under the cover of darkness save the big cats. I have to be careful not to stray into the proximity of the tigers acute senses. Surely I would fall prey to such an agile predator before I was presented scarcely an opportunity to defend myself. As of now, I see mostly the occasional jungle fowl or gamecock, hardly intimidating. Aware of the danger, I stay the course. The prize outweighs the risk, and the risk of being discovered changes by the minute.

An Electrical Facility Management Distribution System GIS Solution
Publication Date
Committee Chair
Karen K. Kemp, Ph.D.
Committee Members
Nader Al-Alem
The amount of electrical distribution system data the University of Redlands Facilities Management Department (FMD) manages, and the dynamic nature of such systems makes the procedures of controlling and effectively managing this type of service very difficult.
The FMD is currently managing the electrical network in a manual way based mainly on hardcopy maps generated by consultants. Practically, the FMD relies totally on the consultant for planning and executing any electrical work. This dependency increases the cost of ownership of the network and makes small tasks, like finding a defective device, time consuming which affects the quality of the electrical service provided on campus.
The GIS solution, the subject of this report, will be an efficient and cost effective alternative to the existing situation. Two pieces for such a system were planned and implemented: a data automation component and an application to support the decision making process.
The data automation part is aimed at the development of the geodatabase that integrates all the spatial features of the electric network. The geodatabase will be the foundation of the application development process.
The GIS application developed is the foundation for a full-scale automated mapping/ facility management (AM/FM) solution. Outage management, emergency response, and periodic maintenance are the three major components that were addressed.
The developed GIS application is an easy-to-use windows application for an unlimited numbers of users, tailored to the user's limited GIS skill level, with a flexible design and intuitive look and feel. For greater ease of use and maximum productivity, everything the user needs is in one place and the graphical interface content is adjusted based on the flow of information. With the use of this application, finding the defective device or the affected buildings by a certain decision or planning for maintenance and many more functionalities are now easy tasks to achieve.

By Mark Gleeson
BRIGHTON, England (Reuters) - Both Samoa and the United States have much to live up to when they open their Rugby World Cup campaign on Sunday as Brighton woke up still buzzing from the sensational Pool B start on Saturday.
Japan's 34-32 win over South Africa in the opening group game is the tournament's greatest ever upset and has the city in the firm grip of a rugby fever, displacing excitement over Brighton and Hove Albion sitting top of the English Championship soccer standings.
The intensity of that game in front of a near-sell out crowd, just short of 30000, will have gone a long way to making inroads for rugby on the south coast of England, leaving the Americans and Samoans under pressure to deliver similar drama to keep up the momentum.
It is only the second ever World Cup meeting between the two countries, with Samoa squeezing through 25-21 in St Etienne eight years ago, but they also won earlier this year in the Pacific Nations Cup by five points over the Americans in San Jose.
Samoa will field a much stronger team on Sunday as they set their sights on a quarter-final place, even though the expected permutations in Pool B have been dumped on their head by Japan's heroics.
The Pacific Islanders have twice before reached the last eight at a World Cup and will have their sights set on making it three this year.
The U.S. have played in all but one World Cup but have just three victories in 21 previous clashes.
United States captain Chris Wyles promised "a huge amount of focus" from his team for the game at the Brighton Community Stadium.
"It was a close loss against Samoa in the last meeting. We know they've got a changed side, but we've also benefited from having quite a bit of time together now, which we don't usually have, so it's pretty exciting.
"We know they're going to be very physical, and ultimately if we are able to bring physicality to it, a lot of others things will fall into place."

Over 300 members of the Kerrisdale community turned out at two meetings Tuesday, June 20 to learn about the agreement Park Board wants us to sign. There was overwhelmingly strong support for asking Park Board to revisit the agreement it's offering.
Great crowd turnout to both sessions of yesterday's Community Meetings. We heard your feedback on the Joint Operating agreement. We are listening to YOU and trust Park Board are too. Thank you for your support KERRISDALE! Kathleen Bigsby, President
We appreciate how our community has supported us for the past five years as we have fought this challenging and frustrating battle. Your e-mails, letters, tweets and calls to Park Board Commissioners have worked. You've come out to community meetings. You are a vital part of our getting this far in the process.
Please call 3-1-1 and tell the Park Board that you want them to speak to us about the changes we need to see in the document before we can sign the agreement.
Please click here for sample tweets and e-mail copy to send to the Park Board.
Park Board Commissioners are elected officials. In the simplest terms, they work for the residents of Vancouver. While we always encourage you to be respectful and considerate, it is also important to clearly communicate that you, as a community member, are unhappy with the proposed Joint Operating Agreement presented to the Kerrisdale Community Centre Society.
It is important that we tell them – in a manner that is loud and clear – what we want in this contract, and demand that they listen to us.
Tell them that the Kerrisdale community doesn't want a bunch of Park Board bureaucrats running our community centre. We want to keep the community in our community centre.
It might not seem like it, but we have made great progress. However, we need to do more – and we need to do it right now. And we need your help.
If you have questions or concerns, please e-mail us at: email@example.com
Write to Park Board Commissioners:

Tank tops are no longer confined to just your gym sessions. But in order to rock that Suns Out, Guns Out tank top you need arms worthy of being categorized as guns.
Building strong and aesthetically shredded arms does not start and end with training only your biceps. You need to work your triceps just as hard if you want the huge arms you desire.
Triceps are often forgotten about when a lifter thinks about building massive arms, but actually make up two thirds of your upper arm. Your biceps are a smaller muscle group than you triceps. In order to transform your upper body you need to train your triceps with the same focus and intensity as you would your biceps.

Triceps AnatomyAs with any muscle group, educating yourself about the anatomy of the muscle is the first step in understanding its development.
The triceps bracchii is made up of three muscles:
- The lateral head
- Medial head
- Long head
Triceps Training TipsStretch and complete adequate warm up sets before blasting your triceps. This is crucial in getting the blood flowing into the muscles, and also for avoiding injury. Know that some triceps exercises can put a little more stress on your elbows compared to others.
Completing at least 1-2 warm up sets of 12-15 repetitions with a weight 50-55% of your max will get your triceps engaged, while allowing you to confirm if you feel any fatigue or inflammation in your elbow joints. If so, you may want to perform a couple more warm up sets with this lighter weight, or consider stopping that particular exercise and focus on a triceps exercise that puts less stress on your elbow joints. The most important thing is to always listen to your body and adapt accordingly.
You may be asking,
What's the best day or time to train triceps?It really depends on you and your training schedule. If you have a day in your weekly routine dedicated to only triceps then more power to you. But, most of us on a 4 or 5 day split routine need to pair our triceps gains with another muscle group.
The 4 Best Triceps ExercisesNow that we've got the basics covered it's time put in our headphones, crank up the Metallica, and hit the weights. These 4 triceps exercises are a great addition to your arm workouts and proven to transforms your triceps from boys into men.
Close Grip Bench PressYour triceps are engaged when performing a medium or wide grip bench press. However, with the wider grips, your triceps become more of a secondary muscle group; the chest being the primary muscle group engaged.
Moving your hands closer together takes the focus from your chest and places more of it upon your triceps. Your hands should be about a foot apart from each other, bringing the weight down to the lower part of your sternum and pushing up, as you would with a normal bench press.
This exercise can really add some strength and thickness to your triceps so I recommend hitting these heavy and at the beginning of your triceps exercises when they are the least fatigued. Use a weight 85-90% of your max weight, 6-8 reps for 4-5 sets with a 45-60 second rest in between each set.

Rope Triceps PushdownsExtensions are one of the first exercises that come to mind when thinking about triceps training. Pushdowns are a staple exercise and should be a part of your triceps repertoire. There's a 99.9% chance all of you reading this right now are already performing this exercise when exercising your triceps.
But, are you performing this exercise correctly? Some of the most common mistakes made when performing rope triceps pushdowns include letting your elbows drift too far forward or letting the weights come up too high on the negative movement.
You shouldn't be using the muscles in your back to push the weight down. You want the pushdown movement to be focused on your triceps. Keep your elbows tucked and tight against your body, control the weight as it comes up, and push the ropes out towards the outwards of your thighs on the way down.
Add some variety to your routine with this exercise by ending your triceps workout with this exercise as a quadruple drop set for a total of 50 reps. Start with a weight 75-85% of your max weight for 20 reps. Drop the weight by 10 pounds and by 5 repetitions for each subsequence set with no rest in between sets.
Example, based upon a 165 pound max.
- Set 1 - 130 x 20 reps
- Set 2 - 120 x 15 reps
- Set 3 - 110 x 10 reps
- Set 4 - 100 x 5 reps
Triceps DipsDips are a great exercise to blast your chest, but also just as a good for blasting your triceps. But, in order to place the emphasis on your triceps you need to change your positioning.
Instead of leaning forward, keep your body straight in a more upright position. Dips are one of the best exercises to add to your repertoire because it works all three heads of the muscle group at once. In order to get a full stretch on the triceps you want to lower yourself as far as possible on the downward part of the repetition.
Triceps dips are another great exercise to hit at the start of your routine for warming up your entire triceps muscle group and also for hitting hard and heavy. If you can perform more than 12 repetitions try using a dip belt to add some more weight for building some serious strength.
Reverse Grip Straight Bar Pushdowns (Straight Bar and Single Arm)Reverse grip pushdowns are a crucial triceps exercise in creating that aesthetic horseshoe on the back of your arms. A great isolation exercise to pair alongside any of the exercises just discussed, reverse grip pushdowns focus on the lateral head.
Similar to a regular straight bar pushdown, attach the bar to a cable machine. Instead of gripping the bar with your palms facing down, grab the bar from underneath with your palms facing up. Pull the bar down until your arm is almost completely straight while feeling the squeeze on the back part of your triceps with every repetition.
As with rope pushdowns, focus on your form and don't lose control of the weight as it's coming up on the negative movement. Keep the weight lighter, 70-75% of your max weight, with the repetitions in the 8-12 range. With this exercise you really want to focus on getting the blood flowing to your lateral head.
You can also perform this exercise as a single arm exercise by attaching a smaller handle attachment to the cable machine. Grab the handle the same way, with your palm facing up, and pushdown while turning your hand out towards the outside of your thigh. If your triceps are stronger or more defined on one arm compared to the other this exercise allows you to focus on isolating a single arm at a time so you can perform more reps or add more weight for your weaker arm.
Again, keep the weight light as form and feeling that squeeze in the lateral head is important.
Big Triceps, Big ArmsSome of these exercises may be new to some of you. Many of you are familiar with all of them. Either way, you want to keep your body guessing. And, the best way to make your triceps grow is to shock them.
These exercises are guaranteed to give you the strength and horseshoe triceps you desire, but you need to hit them hard. If you're just going through the motions on your pushdowns or consistently performing 3 sets of 10 dips week after week, you are going to be stuck at the train station without a ticket for the Gains Train.
Switch it up. Hit your triceps heavy or superset them with another triceps exercise, or finish your workout with an intense quadruple drop set because you've got your bags packed full of tank tops and sleeveless tees now and there's no going back. It's time to destroy your triceps because the Gains Train is leaving soon and I expect to see you sitting in the seat next to me.
