best excercise for mass for triceps

[rolinhgh]

For me the best mass builder is the close grip bench press.

Close grip bech press

Skullcrushers

Dumbbell kickbacks

Pressdowns

But I also like weighted dips

Yep, close grip bench, especially in PL style where the triceps are the primary mover in the bench.

JM Presses would be a close second.

I'd go with weighted dips done in proper form

The best exercises are:

Close Grip Bench Presses
Parallel Dips
Lying Tricep Extensions (Skull Crushers)

i like close grip bench, dips, and seat barbell tricep extensions.

The way I see it, you should have one isolation movement in your tricep routine because the long head runs across two joints, the shoulder and the elbow. What this means is that, during a press or a dip, the long head will shorten at the elbow, but at the same time lengthen at the shoulder. So for mass, I say include a tricep extension. I prefer overhead db extensions, since the long head is put in the stretched position. For the remaining two heads, I say either close grips or dips.

My #1 Pick would have to be JM Presses

JM Presses? And PL style. What do the abbreviations mean

I like overheads because its the only excercise that will fully extend your tris. Its the same idea as incline curls for bis. Where bis are fully stretched only when your elbows are behind you, triceps are fully stretched only when your elbows are pulled tight over your head.

J.M. Blakely is a Power Lifter who started a move called the JM Press.

PL is just powerlifting. Powerlfiters bench with different form. We move the bar primarily with our triceps, as our goal is not to isolate the chest. You can double whammy this tricep bench by doing it close grip...hits 'em even harder.
