best free weight exercise for tricep lateral/head?

[Thin Lizzy]

According to Be There it's all the same

It essentially is but if you want to get reeeeaaaally technical…

Personally, I’ve been at it too long to obsess about each individual head of my triceps. I just do one basic exercise and move on with life.

if you are going to get good triceps you will get them regardless of what excercises you do, if you have shit triceps genetics then no exercises are going to help you

stop trying to make it complicated...

[Zillotch]

Nothing. There’s nothing you can do. Triceps will just break your heart.

the narcissist is correct... its completely genetic. pushups r effective.... if ur not genetically defective.

couple sets of each

right... if u've got tri's... then your arms will look better with no training at all... than a dude with shit genetics who lifts weights and takes steroids. lol

This is not what I'm discussing here


This is

''no exercises are going to effect one particular head any more than another.''

there are twin brothers who train at my gym, both are in good nick with decent size, they have no tricep development at all, the back of the arm is totally straight, nothing they do will ever get them triceps

I do maybe 12 sets a week for triceps and mine are fine.

[Zillotch]

thats what a lot of guys do not understand – steroids and weight training will not turn u into bob Paris – nothing will. u just suk. Lol

Any movement you can use the most weight on. For me I treated loose form skull crushers and close grip bench as though they where lifts at a power meet. I would record my poundage and reps for both of these and strive to use heavier weights each and every week. I was able to loose form skull crush #205 for 3x8 and strict form close bench #315 3x5. My triceps where thick full and cut from shoulder all the way down to the elbow.

No, its any movement that you scan stress the muscle the best

Muscles dont know weight, they only know intensity.

[funk51]

two ways of doing kick backs.

[Zillotch]

Muscles dont know weight, they only know intensity.

tendons sure do seem to recognize weight.... by ripping from the bone... thats their way of calling u an asshole.

just ask any tard 'power' lifter, lol

[myosaurus]

couple sets of each

yes those close grip press with cambered bar is very under rated i dont know why more people arent doing it... and look at those arms on Larry and freddy, unreal....

overhead press will stimulate mainly lateral and medial head of triceps. doing them with strong lockout and doing them heavy will definitely stimulate them. also bench dips really squeezing them hard will work well.

[SF1900]

It's so odd that the tricep is shaped liked that. Just think how much bigger our arms could be if the center of the tricep was also filled with muscle.

But, that is how God made our triceps, so it is what it is.

No, you are incorrect. Intensity can be brought on by number of sets, number of reps, the speed of the reps and, the weight used. One can induce intensity using any one of these or all of them.

and using heavy weights opens you up to injury.

go for it , let your ego ruin your physique.
