He said, “Following the pump is a rule I like to follow. So, I work my triceps right after my chest. Pick a good routine and train triceps twice a week, get a pump on every set. The Dumbbell pullover is my last chest exercise and it not only hits my serratus and ribcage, but it also pumps up my posterior triceps head. That’s the long head at the rear of the triceps and when it’s developed it adds a fuller look to the upper arm.”
The different exercises that he performs are dumbbell pullovers and he maintains the exercise in his routine twice a week. The God of Aesthetics has also advocated for quality over quantity in the gym before.

Zane’s method for optimum physical growth
The 81-year-old legend emphasized the fact that a minimal amount of training and focusing on the concentration areas is of utmost importance. After reducing the volume of exercise and workouts, according to him, an individual can channel their energy more efficiently to the muscle group that needs them. This ensures that the rep is performed with maximum focus and intent.
He said, “I’m always more motivated when I know I have less to do. Just the thought of doing fewer sets makes me want to do them with more intent and focus. Training less frequently enables me to be rested, stronger, and grow more.” His approach aligns with scientific evidence that supports the significance of rest and recovery for the muscle.
