What inner Tricep exercises to do?

[cobracock1979]

Im a MASSIVE fan of tricep canle extensions (at least thats what they are called here) - not great form from this guy but all I could find. I use this for shape not mass and it works great but form has to be perfect.

Tricep Cable Extension Exercise

For mass I do weighted dips an skulls, occasionally close grip banch.

OB - u find a reverse grip works better on a close grip bench???

I feel like its a different movement. I use an underhand grip that is shoulder width. I bring the bar down slowly to the bottom of my pecs. A slight stretch should be felt, then keep the mind on the tris to explode back up.

The close grip bench never feels good on my elbows. There's just something about it that doesn't feel right. Its probably just me and not having mastered the form. Its definitely a mass builder.

Agreed, kickbacks are pretty lame. Most people do them half ass anyway....

Here's a routine from back a while ago that I did yesterday:

Close grip bench 3/6-8 reps
Dips (weighted if you have to) 3/as many as possible
Close grip bench 2/12-15 reps
Overhead extensions
Seated dips (weighted if you have to) as many reps as possible
Pushdowns 1/25-30 reps

With the OH extensions I use 2 25 or 35 Iron Grip plates instead of a dumbbell. Takes all the pressure off the wrists....

I refuse to do more than 3 excercises on such a small muscle group. I only work Triceps on their own for vanity.

lol, some dude posted in a thread last week i think and it went something like "when i'm on the beach the chicks only care about how big my arms are, nobody asks how much i can bench". That didn't do it justice but it was a hilarious quote.

Take note cobra, take note. Next time you feel like doing squats you better check those tris. Is the horseshoe defined yet? If not then the only thing you better be doing in the squat rack is db kickbacks!

Horse shoe effect is when the outer triceps looks like a horse shoe...things that emphasize that are reverse pressdowns (with palms pointing downwards instead of upwards)

Best mass builders for triceps:

heavy narrow grip bench press
heavy military press / skull crushers
heavy dips
heavy pressdowns
