3 Exercises for every Tricep Head

SmallButGettingThere · 06-08-2005, 12:02 PM

If you guys aren't doing these 3 or something similar you are not hitting every head of the tricep and getting max growth. Skull Crushers (My name for em really called lying tricep extensions", then Dumbell Kickbacks, then one armed tricep kickbacks(When you do these make sure you do not grip cable bar with palm facing the group switch you hand around as it works the tricep better. If you are new to bodybuilding and you don't know much bout all the heads make sure to do these 3 and watch those triceps grow.

Hmm... I would say beginners should perform closegrip benches,dips and cable pulldowns. IMO these are more basic movements.

the basic the better. I say once you get more into them then you do the ones you named.

well maybe you should. If your competing they really widen the tricep. But you a competitor already knows that of course.

Pushdowns and Closegripp presses for mass, and reverse pushdowns and skullcrushers for some detail.

jumping jacks for mass, then you can do cartwheels for detail

kick backs just feel weird for me...what kinda weights do you guys throw around for them?

SmallButGettingThere · 06-08-2005, 06:54 PM

well they are really effective. Really one of the only ones that gets your back head properly. Just bend knees keep back parallel to ground and hold elbow and level up your back. You do all those and do kickbacks youll feel big growth after short period of time. Give em a try you wont regeret it.
