Heavy deadlift from the ground. If I ever do it again, it will probably be the rack pull.

I used to do heavy scullcrushers but eventually I got to were I was spending more time rubbing my elbows between sets than I was lifting so I reluctantly gave them up.

i found with them that the EZ Bar is the worst thing you can use ..so i switched to a Tri-bar with a parallel grip & no problems.
I think if using a straight bar a slightly wider grip is better ..look at pictures of Bill Pearl who had MASSIVE triceps, he used a wider grip.

That was my favorite tricep exercise ,at my strongest, I did with with a cambered bar with two 45 plates on each side and my arms grew half an inch while pumped I did this weight for two workouts (2 weeks) and have been suffering from bursitis tendinitis ever since to the point I can't do the damn exercise at all  ... (I'm a lifetime natty btw).


WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Cook,try doing 3-4 sets of triceps pressdowns for high reps (20-30),followed by the Skullcrushers.......just don`t go as heavy,higher reps, with one minutes rest between sets.....less rest makes lighter weight feel heavy really fast...............or tell me to mind my own fucking business!   LOL   ;D

Dips. I can BTN and front press till the cows come home, but unless I'm super picky with the type of dip bar, they kill my shoulders.

Decline Press, never a fan, and as 38 mentioned, I don't like the head rush.

Squats. Not totally forsaken, but I go lighter, and sub in belt squats, podium deadlifts, and machines now more.

The worse for last. Push ups. Makes me feel like a pussy, but I don't like doing them without push up handles. I can set up for a bench press quicker and more comfortable that I can for push ups now. It's weird.
