I'm trying to bring up my inner tricep, and would like to know what if any tricep isolation I can do to bring up this lagging muscle....

Currently, I'm doing straight bar pressdowns, weighted bench dips (plates on thighs), and skull crushers for triceps.

I'm thinking an overhead movement, like heavy two-handed dumbell, behind the head would bring overall tricep mass up.... what do you guys think?

Ahh.. one more... I'm having trouble developing lower bicep nearest my elbow.... overall mass and peak are great, but the lower bicep sweep is terrible....


Any advice for either or both would be greatly appreciated!

for lower bicep movements, anything that can be used like a preacher is good for that. also really narrow grip lat pulldowns (with palms facing upwards to the roof)

dips and skull crushers are good for tricep mass, also, try holding the weight for a bit at the end of the movement. squeeze hard and see how it feels.

Thanks, guys. I'll be putting those in my routine starting today.

I had a trainer at the gym suggest concentration curls for lower bicep development as well, and I'll be throwing them in at the end of my bicep routine.

Underhand tricep pressdowns...that makes perfect sense, and I've not done them in years.

Thanks again guys...if you or anyone else thinks of any other movements to isolate those areas, let me know!

Larry
