Hitting All Heads Of The Tricep

[Legion Kreinak2]

What are the different heads of the tricep, first off?

Second, which head does the Closegrip Bench Press hit?

Third, what are two accessory exercises I can use to hit the other two heads without sacrificing my joints. (i.e., no skull crushers or extensions, and most likely no dips) I want to secure my joints (namingly elbows and rotator cuffs here) for a while.

i asked my trainer that 2 years ago...he started laughing. Can you flex just one head of your tri...no. Therefore you cannot work just one head of the tricep. Someone else im sure will get into muscle fiber recruitment but its not worth it for me to try. Its pretty much the same deal as working ones lower abs. peace

well i don't know what you could do if you don't want to do tri extensions or skulls...well close grip of course but you already mentioned that yourself. maybe some pushups with your hands closer together? i don't know...
