favorite/best tricep exercises?

[needtogetaas]

So no ones going to say tricep pushdowns? fuck that I will say it. I love them!!!

Speaking for myself, I have shoulder trouble and I have to be very careful with skull crushers or any movement that puts my upper arms straight up with any weight. So I use my high pulley for tri pushdowns, which works great for me. I also do prone tri extensions (called many different names); lying on stomach on flat bench, with dumbell. I also do weighted dips, but I seem to feel the burn better on the pulley pushdowns.

For me, I like 2 exercises for triceps but since they're compound lifts they hit a lot of other muscles as well. But, they're more tricep dominant than most compounds:

1.) Weighted Dips

2.) Incline Close Grip Crazy Bell Bench Press (yes, what a mouthful, right? )

A really controlled DB triceps kickback gives you a nice contraction and is easy on the shoulder.

reverse grip bench.

reverse grip bench.

You know I've heard of that exercise a million years ago but I've forgotten about it, I might have to try it. I need a replacement for overhead DB triceps extensions because putting the weight over my head screws one of my ribs up and only my chiropractor can fix it. I can't do dips because of shoulder and elbow problems.

reverse grip bench.

i am liking the look of this exercise very much and am going to give it a go soon.

does it hit your chest with a wider grip and tris with a closer grip like a regular BB bench or does it hit tris harder regardless? What is the main difference between a reverse grip and a regular grip

That's right Why do you think I mentioned it? I know big strong men with horseshoes chiseled out of their upper arms would never consider a wussy ass exercise like a kickback.

But if you've got fucked up shoulders you gotta do what you gotta do I mean, if you're going for pure power, one thing, but you wouldn't be too focused on isolation movements then, anyway. If you're going for definition, then there's nothing wrong with it IMO.
