show me your triceps!!

[The Red Dragon]

My biceps are bigger than my triceps sadly or at least the same size (too much flab under the arm)

I have some pics of my tris, but I don't have a way of posting the pics here. If someone wants me to, I could e-mail them the pics. Tho there is something very very gay about the idea of putting pics of my arms on this board. Not exactly sure why. Guess it is better than posting pics of striated glutes tho. tee hee.

Close-grip bench presses are responsible for any tricep size I have. Make sure you push away from yourself, and not up and over your head.

HEAVY dips, close grip bench, skullcrushers. This is basically all I do for tris. I like to think they are one of my strongest parts of my body.

People tell me, my triceps are one of my best bodyparts.

Most overall size I attribute to weighted dips between benches. It works much better for me than weighted dips between parallel bars, the benches give better isolation. Decline dumbell or decline barbell skull crushers are a good bread and butter exercise.

Somehow (maybe due to long arms, I don't get a good feel out of doing close grip bp variations, but they seem to work for most other people).

I got a nice sweeping flare in the long head, and it seems to me that doing some sorta overhead extension is mandatory for that, the 1 arm overhead extension or the kneeling overhead french press with a cambered bar seems to do the job...

I had a lot of tricep growth when I started doing dumbbell kickbacks: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Triceps/DBKickback.html

I definitely feel the burn doing these.

Thaibox, thanks for the "elbows back" advise, I've been doing skull crushers and couldn't figure out why I wasn't feelin it, I think it's cause I was doing my elbows wide.

i never liked tricep kickbacks much, seem like too much strain for little gain. im more into pressing lifts. incline db press and dips are my all time fav tricep and chest workouts.

There's a cable machine at my gym that's like a seated overhead tricep press...I get a massive burn in the long head if I let my elbows go back behind my head to start a rep, then bring them forward before doing the extension part of the movement. It's a little hard to explain, but if you have access to that machine, you'll know as soon as you do it.

Those, skullcrushers and rope pushdowns give me unbelievable pumps.

i also like tricep extensions a lot, good isolation excersize for wrapping up a tricep workout
