upper tricept??????

[USAF OKIEONE]

i am having trouble targeting the tricep
area right below the rear delt. has anyone had this problem.if so what exercise targets that area? if any one knows an exercise
please post it.

tricept routine:

close grip bench
skull crushers
close grip push downs
rope pushdowns
one arm reverse pull downs

Seated french presses. Basically seated skullcrushers. You don't need all those cable movements. Stick to cable pushdown, the rest is a waste of time.

Sounds you like you have a problem similar to mine. It's hard to specifically target any of the given three tricep heads. It can be done but probably not to the extent you want. Muscle bellies and overall shape are 85% genetic. It sounds like you are referring to the lateral (outside) head. If so, any action that takes the other two heads out of play will be most effective. Try heavy cable pushdowns. This keeps you from putting the medial (inside) head on stretch, thereby minimizing it's involvement in the exercise from an anatomical viewpoint. Good luck.

I was having a problem similar to that awhile back as well, I have been doing an extra amount of weighted dips, and throwbacks (aka donkey curls), and I've made some decent progress ... hope that helps a bit.

in my opinion you are doing WAY to many exercises for such a small musclegroup. limit it to 3 exercises. SKullcrushers, kickback and presdowns..and you will find that it will grow in every area

you cannot isolate a specific portion or "head" of the tricep.

close grip bench-2x6-10
skull crusher-2x6-10

simple, and effective.

I'm going to kill JoeWeider for spreading this crap, you can't make PART of a muscle contract while the rest does not.It simply cannot happen. The triceps either contracts- or it doesn't. Dips, close grip benches and pushdowns have done the most for my triceps.

I don't know about you but I can flex the triceps in different places and isolate the 3 heads separately. I have seen many pros do this in posing routines as well. Muscle control can only be attained through practice.

i gotta agree with strenghtmonster...think about this..when yur doing different exercises for for instance triceps..dont you feel a different burn for each exercises, maybe in different areas of you triceps? i surely do
