Close grip bench press is real nice. Shoulder width grip

tricep extensions
dips

yeah about skull crushers, tried em once got the biggest burn and my tri's were sore for about 3 days.... ever since i tried them that day i've been doing them but have never felt that same burn that i experienced, i think it's because i'm "cheating"... i can feel the resistance in my triceps but not the burn after i drop the weight? any directions how to perform this technique EFFECTIVELY?

Time to do close Grip Bench. Challenge yourself and try something new

Agreed with Hammer. Close grip benches and seated overhead extensions with elbows back

i'd say my triceps are a good size....(relative to the rest of me)


and I've done the whole spectrum of this and that throughout the years.....I think it is good to switch up exercises for the tris every so often.....I have done skullcrushers consistently throughout the years, and used to do up to 8 sets of pressdowns using different grips at the end of my workout.


but, I find that when I do something different for a few weeks, they respond well.

Right now I am doing a DC type routine, so I am mainly doing overhead extensions, skullcrushers, dips, and close grips (on different days)

also, I would say go as heavy as possible......

believe it or not ive gained some good definition and size in my trics by just following up bench with tricep pressdown using the rope.lol

DIPS

I do close-grip benches, skull crushers and dips. I've got good gains doing those on the 5x5 plan. I had poor form on my last set of close-grips though, and my shoulder joints are paying for it this week.
