Tricep exercises

[fallenangel]

normally i do:
three sets of close grip bench
three sets of seated french press with a dumbell
four sets of (slow) pushdowns

definelty seems to have improved my tri's. i normally do dips when i'm doing my chest

Sofa has a good point but I have always been a fan of working each side individually for symmetry. Thus I like 1 arm rev grip pulldowns with a cross-body movement (WOW!) and...don't laugh...kickbacks. Believe it or not kickbacks also hit your rear delts something fierce when you go heavy! LOL!

Lying Dbell Tricep Extensions...

Or do them this way...

Reverse grip bench, excellent exercise for the triceps.


Or any kind of board press works well too.

Reverse-grip skulls. They are cheat-proof, and therefore isolate better than regular skulls.

I always end my chest workout with 2 or 3 sets of close grip push-ups, that's right, push-ups..sometimes weighted with a 45 pound dunmbell, then start in on the tri's. if you really hold, and feel it at the top of your push-up you can really kill your tri's.

I have a friend who swears by reverse grip bench presses. He does about 380 lbs. with them. You have to be very careful with them though. I tried them, and never really got the hang of them.

I like something I call "lying tricep pushes." It's basically a close grip bench with an ez curl bar. I do them high on my chest, and I really feel an incredible pump in my tris.

I'm with metal gear on this one.
For mass, dips are number one followed by close grip benches.
