Check this out,I have been lifting on and off for 10 years and i cant figure out why i am loosing my pump in my tris when i do dips.I warm up then do skull crushers then do weighted dips and then my pump in my tris goes away untill i do more tri work.I am using good form so what am i doing wrong.
First of all, do skull crushers, a close grip bench press, pushdowns, and then really deep dips.
Tell you don’t have a pump then. Just add volume to your workout and you’ll get a better pump.

You might have the perception that you are losing the pump in your triceps. You are doing an isolated movement like skull crushers which pump the tri’s directly. Then you move to more of a total upper body movement like Dips. So you perceive the pump less in the tri’s because your pec’s and other muscles have now been worked.
Try to reverse the two doing the skull crushers after the dips and see if you feel more of a pump.
Give it a try and post back to me and see if it makes a difference.

Not sure why you care about the pump you get during a workout.
But maybe you are using your chest more on the dips (leaning forward a lot, elbows out), so the triceps are not hit as directly. Both are valid ways of doing dips.
How many sets/reps do you do for the skullcrushers and for the dips? If you are doing less reps for the dips, even if the weight is heavier, then less fluid will have a chance to build up in the muscles.

To be honest, yes.

Really. Care to provide a cite? I’m sure a study that included allwieghtlifters would be authoritative enough for me. On second thought, what is a “wieghtlifter”, and what do they “now”. Feh. Forget it.
Here’s your pump.

Lol, you’ve only been here for a day, so read up a little before dumb close-minded comments.
There are many ways to train to produce results, and seeking a pump is just one out of so many.
If you’re primarily into powerlifting, I agree that the pump isn’t important. On the other hand, I think you’ll find that in bodybuilding, your best bodyparts are the ones that get the best pumps.
