Skull Crushers for me. I like to get the blood pumping by doing pressdowns or soemthing similar first and then get stuck into the skullies.

What is in your experience the most productive triceps exercise ?
I get most out of the one-arm lying dumbell french press.

The basic function that a tricep perform is that it extends the elbow.Dip is the best exercise in this regard.Keep your body as upright as possible to put the stress on your triceps rather than your chest.Use a belt with a chain to add weight to your body if you can do more than 5 reps at bodyweight.

Close Grip Burnouts: (3 sets of whatever): This is an excellent finisher. Just grab a barbell, or better yet, an EZ-Curl bar, and rep out, baby. No need to add any weight (maybe nickels if you’re using an EZ-Curl Bar) – just hit it for as many reps as you can muster. If you have a spotter, finish the set with 10 negatives. Have her lift the bar off your chest… you just lower it as slow as you can.

Although Skull Crushers give me a thrill, the cable pressdowns are my favorite and I get an insane pump with that knot growing and growing.

There isn't one best exercise. Pick a heavy compound, nonisolating movement and go nuts. CG bench, heavy dips (If your shoulders can handle it) 3 or 4 board press....up the weight.

that would kill your range of motioin bro, wouldnt u be better with flat or decline?

It hits the muscle really good. And if you always have done them prone try it out to switch up the routine. I started doing them recently myself and the ROM is very similar but there is constant muscle engagement. Lower weights work well the first couple if times to get used to it. They are killer bro. Highly recommend them in any tricep routine.

Those are great workouts, i would say do those but make sure the reps are high. the triceps are strange muscles and for some reason work better with high reps
