like protein... training doesn't mean much. If u have good genetics, push ups will develop magnificent triceps. If u do not have good genetics, it doesn't matter what u do.

That's right, but there would be no point in training then for 99% of people out there. Exercise and the coupled workload do make a difference in muscle size - be it tiny tit territory or at Lord Humungus levels.

Also many people do not claim that an exercise is magic but enables them to have a pain free workout and thus get some stimulus.

For a guy who's triceps have always been shit and finally brought them up the only thing that ever worked was overhead ez bar extensions leaning backwards on the preacher curl bench. On the negative let the bar take your arms all the way back and stretch the shit out of the triceps. There is a lot of evidence that putting the muscle in a pre stretched position before firing causes more growth. Ex deficit deadlifts, dumbbell bench presses, etc.

I did them today for the first time in a while. The regular close grip bench press didn’t feel quite right today, so I switched over to reverse grip presses. Felt it slightly more in the pecs but triceps definitely took most of the pressure.
BUMP BUMP :D

I have always found that weighted dips work best for tricep development for me.

YMMV.

I agree 100%

It's even better when you add thick bar grips

Now people, you can't make a topic about reverse grip bench press without mentioning the late Anthony Clark

Reverse Grip Benches are a good way to decapitate yourself.

Very difficult for most to maintain a strong grip when heavier weights are used.

Not worth it IMO......so many better/safer options.

I tried reverse grip once but tbh it's all upper chest, you are lifting with the strength of your upper chest. You wanna hit triceps ? Do one arm dumbell extensions, kickbacks, dips and pushdowns
