What tricep exercise do you swear by?

[loco]

Inclined Barbell Bench Press

Seated Barbell Military Press

Dips

Cable Push-downs (Rope)

[breakmore]

1. Close grips.
2.  Dips.
3.  Skullcrushers.


Do skulls later on in the workout, when the tendons are warmed up sufficiently.

The three above are for mass.  For cut/shape, look to cable exercises.

I agree, these are the best for mass.

Close grip bench w/thick bar and J-presses.

[DroppingPlates]

Doesn't feel right for the wrists with a straight bar. Racking the EZbar is a bit troublesome that's true.

Don't you have issues balancing the bar?

"1"

I lie down reversed on a bench press and use a shoulder width grip. I like some variation, so during another workout I do lying single DB extentions. I like the balancing work, it feels more natural, esp for the joints.

[MONSTER_TRICEPS]

Weigted dips, skullcrushers.

[HTexan]

Extensions with the v bar.

[Palpatine Q]

Me...

Overhead tricep extensions standing at a 45 degree angle
with the rope, some folks call 'em superman rope extensions.




What's the "1" tricep exercise you would pick for triceps if you only had one to select?

I do them exactly the same way.....INSANE pump i get from them. I do em last because I can't even move my arms they get so pumped

Flat Barbell Bench as basass as you can go.   

I never do arms and kill it on the heavy exercises.  If you kill it on flat bench, incline, etc, you dont need to do tric seperate.

Fail.

With weight---skull crushers, and one arm dumbells skullcrushers, while having your front half on the bench--head off, they could be called tricep extensions

Without weight-dips, elbows facing out, and three point pushups (hands facing like two cars passing)

[JasonH]

Skullcrushers and once failure has been hit, continue and conclude the set by doing close grip benches with the bar, almost like a superset. Fries the arms like no other exercise - even my forearms get a workout from that.

That's exactly how I feel after my routine, unable to even move my arms..

I also typically dress exactly as the animation provided below.  A skin-tight tanktop and a pair of skin-tight black shorts that always fall high above the knee, while wearing nothing but socks..

[cephissus]

I've had problems over the years with every tricep exercise, but in the end I think the exercises I really like are

1.  Close grip bench press
2.  Cable pushdown (all variations, especially the one 1 and groink posted).
3.  Dips

If I do skull crushers, I'll do them off the floor these days.  Easier on the elbows.  I also like the seated overhead extensions with a dumbbell, but those can be touchy (again, elbows).

[dyslexic]

Medium grip bench press

Weighted Dips

O.H extensions with rope


finish with cable crossovers with an added one-arm downward punch (each side) and static extension (burns like hell)

Dips.  When I can do them.  I am old...

Hammer strength seated dip machine.

I agree, but only one gym I visit has this piece of equipment.

I didn't look at all the posts in this thread, but a tie for 1st of favorite triceps exercises would be the pullover and press.

[Ursus]

Weighted dips.

[mesmorph78]

For me skulls and seated extensions are the best but they both mess up the elbows
Normal dips I feel in my shoulders and chest I only feel dips in my tris when I do them knuckles pointed in
Close grip I feel in the chest once I start going heavy.. I already have enough chest development which is why I use close grips sparingly

[wes]

Seated French Press....back supported on Preacher Bench.

Skulls and Dumbell Skulls

Triceps Dips Between Two Benches

Never use a rope on extensions or pressdowns.......trust me on that.

Cambered handle or v-bar is much more effective.........fuck you if you don`t take heed! 

Those that listen,can thank me later on down the road.
