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).

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.

Bent over flies. Even light weights now make me wake up the next day feeling like I'm being knifed in my shoulder sockets

Skullcrusher after a certain weight felt like I was somehow using my lats more, very weird.
