What tricep exercise do you swear by?

[mesmorph78]

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.

Skulls and seated extensions are king but they are really bad for the elbows
Why do you advise against using the rope attachment?

[cephissus]

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

why's that?

some of the best, most elbow-sparing sets i've ever done have been with the rope.

[wes]

No need to have bad elbows if movements are done correctly.

I don`t know why but I find the rope inferior........hard to explain.

[wes]

Let me add that if your elbows bug you from skullcrushers,don`t do them to the forehead,but just below the crown of the skull.

Way too much pressure on the elbows if done to the forehead or nose,plus it`s a good way to whack yourself out.

[leadhead]

Skulls and close grip bp. I normally workout chest before tris so my elbows are warmed up although my right elbow still bothers me every few months.

[robcguns]

weighted dips with a 140lb db on top of my 265 lbs and overhead db extensions 1 arm at a time up to 80 lbers is what brought my arms to over 22" cold.So in my opinion the best.

[dyslexic]

Explain this..

"1"

I'll pulldown each side, left and right and hold one side in a static hold. The triceps will already start burning. Then I will proceed to do a "crossover" but concentrating more on the extension of the elbow (triceps activation) than the crossover that actually compresses the pec.

In the process, each time  I crossover with movement and extend with the opposing arm, the other will have forcefully pushed (punched) downward and extended into an extension. There is no balance, at least not the kind you would get with two hands on a pushdown bar.

So basically, you are doing a type of burn, but you are also doing a compound exercise. The triceps on both arms will be burning the whole time whether it be from the process and R.O.M of extension, or just a static (balancing) downward hold.

I guess it's not that easy to explain. They work for me as a finishing move. The triceps pop and the whole UB gets some final work B4 I go home...

[CalvinH]

I could and do all of them but still I don't get a good look to my tri's

[Deicide]

Reverse hand masturbation...

[no one]

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?

whatever one that doesnt leave my arm looking like this.

love these. nothing gets more blood into my tris than these.

[Palpatine Q]

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..



"1"

HaHaHaHaaaa

OMR has that random, left of center sense of humor. That's funny to me

[Howard]

then these

I love those 1 arm DB ext in the middle or end of a workout.

[Palpatine Q]

Here's a trick I do.

Two arm kickbacks. bend over at the waist and try and keep your body parallel to the floor. do your kickbacks with both arms at the same time, and at the top of the movement turn your palms to the ceiling...or at least try to. Really snap them and flex your tris hard....report back to me tomorrow.     

[Soul Crusher]

If you really bust your ass on barbell flats and inclines, your tries will explode.   Most of the fags at the gym I work out at spend more time doing tris than they do flat bench, inclines, dumbbell inclines, etc.  

GMAFB.  If you want want real caveman strength, you need to fuck off with the pussy machines and tri exercises and bust your ass on the barbell presses and incline barbell lifts.  

At 36 yo 210 lbs - last night alone - 315 x 10 flat bench, 315 x 7 incline bench barbell.  Focus on the basics and you will grow.  focus on rops, cables, machines, and you are a fag and a pussy.    

[Evo]

Well my elbow is fu*ked at the moment so I can't do much....manage a few sets of v bar push downs and a little overhead work.

When at 100% I like dips and heavy overhead extensions with a d/b, uni or bilateral.

That's a great finisher, but why with 2 arms? Doing singles I can put more focus more on the contraction, since there's always a strong and a weak side.
On a vid I saw a guy doing them with his bicep on a ankle pad, I will try that one later.

[Soul Crusher]

I see these skinny little pussies in the gym doing cable push downs, rope push downs, etc.  Not one of them can bench over 315.

To build your arms and tries - you need to kill it on the basics first - incline barbell, flat barbell, and incline dumbell press mostly.  

If you have all that energy for tries after that, all it means is that you are going too light on the basic exercises.

decline reverse grip bench press

best no question

 Nope

[Soul Crusher]

You are a fag and a pussy.

I'll take anyone on at any time at any gym on any lift pfb.  i'm clean as as whistle at 36 210 and will outlift most.  clean my whole life.  

If you do your basic exercises right for the big body parts like Chest, Back, Legs, etc, the smaller ones like arms are easy and ancillary.  

The weaklings and pussies at my gym who can barely bench 225 do arms all the time and neglect the basics and wonder why their arms dont grow more.

You cant be a bitch at the gym focusing on arms and abs and expect to grow.   I have been at this for years, competed many times, competed in track n field events  in the throws at D1 level, and know the deal.  I have these 20-30 year old fags always like "yo bro - what you takin?"  

I'm like - hey idiot - who is here Friday night killing it on bent over rows, squats, bench, militaries, etc?  

No easy way to bigger arms.   People need to STFU - put the cell phones away, tell their boys to go away, and just pop on the thrash metal and go nuts on the basics like barbell bench, incline barbell bench, deads, squat, bent over rows, etc.  

Otherwise - have fun being Jersey Shore twink who cant bench over 225 or squat over 275.          

[Roger Bacon]

Nope

huh, maybe that's why my triceps are small as fuck

go back to reading brawn.............. why the hate on training arms, the show peice of a bodybuilder

as i said in the training forum, for me over head extension with ez bar is the king, kills the long head, but kill your elbows also!
