I need bigger tri's

Dumbell Shoulder Press: Muscles Targeted: Deltoid, Anterior
Synergists: Deltoid, lateral;Supraspinatus;Tricepts Brachlii;Trapezius Middle;Trapezius Lower;Serratus Anterior, Inferior Digitations;Pectoralis Major, Clavicular

By the way, Trapezius means "traps". Yes, They do workout triceps. Maybe even more so than traps for most. And of course, judging from that picture (if that is you in the avatar) you have no trap development so I can see why you beleive this exercise would not target traps. I never said it did not workout triceps. I would never put myself above anyone else because of my studies, but when someone like you tells me something ignorant and sais my justified response "makes no sense" I have to speak up. Just because you are ignorant on what muslces are triggerd in MY OWN body doesn't mean I should take your advice. Genetics? maybe that plays a role in your traps. Sure shurgs are probably king, but for years all I did was shoulder press/military press and traps grew like Goldberg. Anyways, I simply said I did not want to execute it because I did not want it to trigger traps at all for now. Even so, This exercise (if you want to take a poll, feel free) is a distant one for tricep development. As you can see from all the other posts (judge for yourself) you are the only one that chose this as a tricep workout. I can care less what you belive or don't belive regarding my own body. But don't worry , I trust you. You obviously know more than I do and the rest of some of us here and feel confident to take a poll on this. Feel free. Let your voice be heard. Good luck - str8cubano

LMAO! You sound to me like one of those guys who walks into the gym and immediately goes for the heaviest dumbells he can handle, because 'people might be watching.'

I agree that you can definitly hit traps doing shoulder dumbell presses , but have you recorded any videos of your form? If you're getting alot of trap activation and not much tricep activation, I can't help but to think your form has issues.

Weighted dips

+1

You probably already know this... but do partial dips to focus more on tri and not to activate the chest too much.

I would also hit your triceps early in your workout to maximize focus and strength.

I'm sure I get tricep activation.
