best free weight exercise for tricep lateral/head?

[TRIX]

so many conflicting articles on the internet

lets say you work out at home, and dont have access to a lat/tricep machine to perform pushdowns, what free weight exercise targets best the lateral head?

or is it just a size/bodyfat issue?



weighted dips? close grip bench press elbows flared? lying down across the body dumbell extensions?

[MAXX]

Z bar skull crushers and heavy benches

[Henda]

In addition to paused close grip bench, lying triceps ext (I prefer straight bar) lowering bar behind head rather than to forehead and lying dB ext one arm at a time again lowering behind head/shoulder.

Prefer pushdowns though

straighten your arm under tension and it will work the tricep, no exercises are going to effect one particular head any more than another.

Just pick an exercise you can feel stressing the triceps and that you enjoy doing it
I only do rope extension for triceps and the occasional machine dips

MRI analysis has proven that overhead extensions stress the long head more, while rope press downs stress more the lateral head.  

MRI has also revealed that regular bench presses do hardly anything for the long head... it's almost all lateral and medial heads.

When in doubt go with the exercise that lets you use the most weight:

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

In time, your tendons will snap like circus tent ropes. Enjoy.

Not true .

[robcguns]

Stick with ngb,skulls and overhead ext.All you will need and if tris don’t develop from those they prob won’t.

Hoe much weight are you hoisting on this exercise bro?

I don't do it because I only feel my inner tricep working .

Im beginning to think joon isnt this good of a troll and its really you who is so fucking pathetic.

why would it matter what anyone else is lifting in an exercise, it has no bearing on you at all.

I don't know , with rope extension my whole triceps gets pumped with kick backs only the inner part.

Well, for starters, no rope is used.

Worlds stupidest twat isnt a real contest...

Everyone’s built differently,you can’t assume that will happen to every single person who performs that excercise, to me the straight bar feels more natural and have never had any issues from it

The long-head originates from the scapula and as a result part of the function of the muscle is to bring the elbow up and back. So, kickbacks are a good exercise for this. However, the poor leverage of the move allows for very little weight to be used. I believe the rope extensions are superior as you can load up a bit.



My apologies to getbig for talking about training.
