My triceps suck balls

Volume brother. I know your a strength guy who loves the low volume heavy work. Maybe try to smash your tris with a lot of sets using a higher rep range.

SL You are right. I also like what ghetto said about doing the big boy exercises but doing more volume and higher reps. Also when I do dips i lean forward, I will lean back for now.

definitely a good idea with dips. You'll feel the difference instantly

Your muscle attachment points for the tricep and/or fiber ratio might not be the greatest.

I would guess based off your photo and what you said about your cgbp that your tricep strength is lacking in comparison to your chest and shoulder strength.

I would personally focus on fairly heavy, high rep cgbp around 12-15 reps and then as other's have suggested cable pushdowns heavy in the 6-10 range.

I prefer to keep it KISS in lifting and if the benching and pressing isn't enough I still think you are better off using the big boy tricep building exercises rather than kickbacks or skullcrushers.

I can take a hint, boys. MuscleMom will keep her opinions to herself from now on.

(I'd actually do cable pushdowns if I had the equipment, I work out from home and none of my machines have the right ergonomics).

biggest thing...press downs. Shoulder width grip or a little less with a straight bar. Also try taking the camber curl bar and load it up and do CGBP to the bottom of the sternum. Also try your straight BB CGBP with a reverse grip. Try CGBP on decline too.
Bench dips too with plates on your lap.

Set up your split so you have enough rest between tri and chest but have a seperate tri day. Just go and demolish them by themselves.

Definitely agree with burnthiscorpse, weighted bench dips, slow and deep but high rep, are downright murderous on triceps!

Per the master blaster Vince Gironda, you need to keep your head up and back and your bod upright to hit tris on dips.
If you are tucking your chin into your chest then most likle your bod is leaning forward and you are working your chest.
Just an FYI guyz
BTW Muscle Mom you always welcome to comment anywhere you like, always weldome and always appreciated babe:

Dips, skull crushers & cable press downs in that order...

Charles Poliquin rates these as his top 5 tricep exercises:

1. Parallel dips

2. Close-grip bench presses

3. Decline close-grip bench presses

4. Seated EZ-bar French presses

5. Decline dumbbell triceps extensions

just throwin it out there

OK so I am having trouble coming up with a routine for strength but then with 1 day for just triceps. Can Anybody help me out? It can be 3 4 or 5 day a week routine
