Good Tricep mass building excersises?

Weigted Dips, really build mass near the elbow

I prefer weighted dips between benches (plates on your legs)over dips between bar anytime, because i can keep my back straight and my arms inward behind my back and concentrate really hard on squeezing the triceps. As an afterburning set I might do dips between the bars with bodyweight to failure and use all the body english it takes to keep me going.

You must do some kind of overhead press / extension to make the long head give that nice flare.

Some variation of close grip benches / JMs / Cali presses etc are also welcome for overall mass and the lateral head (this could actually use some improvement overhere, maybe I will try the reverse grip benchpresses)

You could conclude your session wit heavy pressdown or decline skullcrushers, doing skullcrushers BEFORE overhead exercises I could no longer use enough weight for the overhead presses.

Close-grip presses, weighted dips definately. You can use the dips between benches with plates on your lap until you get strong but eventually it just looks silly and hurts your shins when you get over about 5 or 6 plates, plus its a bitch to talk guys into spoting you and stacking the plates on. You can also do partial reps at the top in the power rack on close grip presses with extremely heavy weights.

Skull Crushers Skull Crushers Skull Crushers!!!!!!

I have NEVER found another lift that came close to giving my triceps the power and size that Skull Crushers gave me. When I initally started doing these, my tri's started growing like crazy. Within 4 months I had nearly put 3 inches on my arms from just tri's alone. This is no exageration. Strength went through the roof on tri's and bench as well. These, IMO are the best power/size builder for tri's next to dips. Everything else is just to polish them off...
