3 Best Tricep Exercises For Mass

[Gym-Rat]

I agree with 2 out of his top 3.

I like:

Close grip bench / JM Press
Skull Crushers
French Curl (tricep over-head press w/ curl-bar).
[Same thing he's doing though he's using a d-bell]

                                      good post, however ferrigno plates spotted so.......

[Rambone]

McDougal extensions

Inverted rope pushdowns w/gravity boots

And lets not forget Zooterman kickbacks

[Henda]

Loved the close grip bench for years

Now just typically go

Pushdown with straight bar

Dumbbell extensions lying on side on incline bench

Palms up single arm pushdown standing sideways to pully moving cross the body

Few sets to failure each at end of deltoid workout

[IroNat]

Why no tricep kickbacks?

Seriously, any kind of heavy pressing.

[MAXX]

Z-bar skull crushers hands down

[BlackMetallic]

Narrow upright weighted dips

Narrow upright weighted dips

yup, excellent point.
I like those as well, good mass-builders.

[ThisisOverload]

Dips
Overhead DB extensions, both hands on one heavy DB
V-bar or rope cable press downs

That's what has worked best for me.

I can't do skull crushers anymore due to the pain they give me in the elbows.

One thing that has worked good for me recently since i can't go heavy anymore, is super setting movements in the 12-15 rep range with a good pumping action. I swear my tris look more full now that i have been doing this for a few years. Just blast them hard at the end of a workout.

I had the same problem but am able to use this machine with a warmup.

Interesting.

We have something similar to that at my gym, i'll give it a go.

With all the pressing guys do, why isolate a muscle with exercises that end up destroying the elbow joint over time?

[ESFitness]

overhead extensions with a close grip. upper arms as vertical as possible.

skull crushers with upper arm as perpendicular to the ground as possible.

and either close grip bench on a decline, or pushdowns, leaning over the bar with elbows out wide (kinda mimic's the same movement of a close grip bench on a decline, except you can get some body-english in the mov't.

there.. all 3 angles.

That's whats fun about bodybuildering.

Does it really destroy the joint? I get pains but I figure it is from the tendons and bursa. I never thought it would cause a problem to the joint in the same way that benching might affect the shoulder joint.

Masturbating in a one handed handstand position against a wall with a slight elbow bend for constant tension in the tris.

Close grip benches though I liked them, always fucked up my wrists even if I taped them with athletic tape.

Therefore, I`d omit them and go with :
Skullcrushers
Seated French Press
Triceps Dips Between Benches....preferably with weight in your lap.

Dips

  Have the body in a straight up and down position (180 degrees). The body will tend to lean a bit forward when dipping, calling on the delts and pecs to  assist. If targeting the triceps, you do not want that. May have to have a training partner help steady and hold that 180 degree position for you. Or prop the feet/lower body against something; bench, chair, etc.

Would suggest a "V" bar for dipping. With focus on the tricep you want a closer to the body, elbows in position for the complete rep.  Flairing the elbows out during the rep takes away the full affect of the exercise on those triceps, calling more on the delts and pecs for aid.  If not having a "V" bar, than any device that would help with a closer dipping hand position.

 Going to fine also that you will not be as strong in that true straight up position dip than your are in the regular dip at first. It can be an ego buster for some.   But well worth the effort for tricep mass.

Good Luck

I don't do them but maybe 1-2 times a year, but  I find wearing a slingshot band around my arms takes the pain off the elbows for some reason.
