Rule of thumb I do a mass builder at around 8-10 reps, followed by a peak contraction exercise for 12-15 reps:
Seated overhead tricep extensions: 2 warm up sets, 3 work sets
Tricep pushdowns: 3 sets
Skullcrushers: 3 sets
Tricep kickbacks: 3 sets
I do this 2 days per week. Sometimes I will substitute close grip benches for the skullcrushers.

Christ Wes, he was only on here 2 minutes when you screamed at him - surely that's some sort of record? You must be sat poised at that keyboard like a cobra or something.....

Wow, you really blew my mind throwing in the close grips!! I'm bout to get me some horseshoes :o

For maximizing those muscle gains,I recommend you ingest a frutty creatine drink,both pre- and intra-workout.

I tend to do a modified pushdown instead of regular skullcrushers since there's no resistance at the top of the movement while laying flat.
Instead of doing the pushdowns standing up with upper-arms fairly vertical, I'll bend forward just a bit at the waist and instead of having upper-arms mostly vertical, I'll bring my elbows up a few inches so my upper arms are about 45° in relation to my torso (or the floor, if that makes sense), & I'm pushing "out" as opposed to pushing down. That way I'm sorta doing a movement similar to a skullcrusher, except i still have resistance while in the fully contracted portion of the movement.
I also like to do overhead extensions while laying on a 45°/35° incline bench using a cable... Again, do to maintaining resistance throughout the entire range of motion. Similar to the movement I described above, except the upper arm is at this "\" angle, opposed to that "/" angle described above (obviously).
I generally prefer to begin my triceps work with arms overhead in an effort to engage the long head as much asnpossible while decreasing long head recruitment while progressively increasing lateral head workload.
Sorta like overhead/straight up "⬆",
then overhead 45° "↖"...
...However, I do conventional pushdowns next "⬇",
then to modified pushdown/skullcrusher-substitute "↙", because I can't use as much weight on those. (well, I "can", but other muscles get brought in to play at the "top" or stretched portion of the movement... Such as lats, rear delts, serratus, & abs)
-
I do pushdowns with lava rocks tied to violin strings from a one off Stradavarius, the same violin strings I used to stitch up a wound I got while defending myself against 6 trained killers at once in prison.
I will now go make steroids in my bathtub while entertaining vietnamese supermodels while on house arrest

I just do rope extensions and a few machine dips

You get bigger triceps from overload and caloric surplus
Stop making shit complex

You can overload tri's with closegrip benches and just regular bench press.... And we all know powerlifters have great looking triceps, right?
-
Close grip bench
Skull crushers
Heavy dips

Exactly, it's a combo of both volume and weight overload to advance in development.

Agreed. You and Wes had excellent fast-twitch responses ;D

I think you only need two exercises for triceps . . . Keep in mind to warm up, start light and move as heavy as possible until failure.
Exercise #1 - Dumbbell triceps presses : Placing two dumbells on the floor, sit on floor between bells, grasp and lay on floor as if benching ( the bells will be in your hands with the triceps resting on floor. ) Press bells to arms length and lower slowly. This motion will isolate your triceps and while similar to a close-grip bench uses only triceps ( no delts or pecs. )
Exercise #2 - Follow up with shoulder width press downs using a straight bar.
A total of 8 to 10 sets 12 to 15 reps will build muscle like never before.

Yep, but show me the long head of the triceps of a guy who does only 12 sets of pushdowns vs a guy who does 6 sets of pushdowns and 6 sets of overhead extensions.

Bay likely?

Probably, he says he is of Dutch ancestry, so almost as good as GERMAN but not quite.....

I only do rope extensions and machine dips, the tricep straightens the arm, thats it, you can straighten the arm in as many different ways as you like, you will end up with the same result.

Bay likey anything with a dick.

As someone with terrible genetics for arms, I went into my training with the idea to emphasise triceps, but I generally eschewed exercises like CGBP due to never having a training partner in favour of pushdown variants and skullcrushers. I eventually started doing behind the neck db extension to get a real good stretch, but the lateral head of my tris is far more developed than the long head - and the long head is what you need to have thicker looking arms from the sides.

Obvs overload with calorie surplus + more reps/volume

You're a good dude and all but man that tricep....
Are you part a-Rab? They have shit tricep genetics

Why u need a partner to do cgbp?Start doing them and dump push downs or just do push downs first to prevexhaust so u don't need much weight on cgbp and get that long head going.

I once saw a guy doing skull crushers with a 36kg dumble --> all of a suddenn the bottom half slipped/broke off and landed on his face :o it was a mess.

I've wondered about that happening with gym dumbbells.
Someone I know was doing triceps pulldowns and the cable snapped, luckily it did not hit his eye but the cable whipped him in the face, almost knocking him out, and left a scar on his forehead. He now has a lifetime membership...
-

Bro science.
Heavy pushdowns are great "mass builders".

I witnessed someone doing heavy cable rows with a very frayed cable. The cable snapped and they guy flew 15-20 feet across the room. It was funny as hell!

If you call EMG data "bro-science"
As EMG data shows greater long-head recruitment with overhead tricep extensions and greater lateral-head recruitment with pushdowns.

That was probably me. Was just about to mention that happened to me. Wasnt going too heavy just about 140 when a few reps in, something in the handle broke where it attatches to the cable (doing seated cable rows w/a str8 bar. Reverse grip)... Next thing i know im doing a backwards sumersault on the ground. Got quite a chuckle.

3 simple movements will lead to hams on the back of your arm...
1- any type of push down
2- close grip bench
3- some kind of overhead extension (db, rope, etc)
Do these movements every tricep workout and explode

Ok, what does this picture prove?
That you can push the long head of your tricep out with your body?🙄
This doesn't prove anything.....
I tell ya what Tin Cup...
Post an arm pic making a classic bicep shot and let's see how much "drop" you have with your tricep
Seeing the years of push downs and dip results..
Then I'll post a pic of me doing the same thing...
Heck, you can take yours in the middle of an arm pump at the gym
And I'll take mine cold before dinner.

Look on the bright side mate. With those genetics you have no reason to ever be arsed about jumping on gear. Would be a waste of time.
