Which exercise is best for huge triceps?

[Wyllis]

Inline barbell press

Flat barbell press

Decline barbell press

Barbell shoulder press

Seated French curls

Lying tricep extensions

Pressdowns

Close grip bench press

Dips

 

[needsize]

weighted dips between parallel bars

 

[Wyllis]

Personally I think its the heavy benching exercises.

 

[DR. NOE]

Close grip benching full range and then do particles using twice the amount of weight in only your strong range of motion, so only move the weight about 5 inches. Power factor training will make your arms grow like mad.

Theres not many guys posting on this,

come on you must have an opinion about this.

i have to say pressdowns got my triceps much bigger and have really made them my strongest bodypart.

 

[MonStar1023]

Lol your first 5 choices are definitely primarily chest and delt exercises bro.. haha.

For me it is a toss up between dips and close grip bench both tear my tri's up. But I have seen more mass since I added close grip bench along with the dips I was doing

 

[The mann]

all extensions............

 

[The Shadow]

Decline nose breakers. Period.

 

[mekannik]

Dips.

Close Grip Bench Press.

Decline Skulls (nose breakers, forehead crackers, eye poppers, whatever)

All done with strict form and HEAVY weight (in the case of dips - with a dip belt)


later.

 

[Scottygunz]

heavy close grips, and pushdowns.

 

[yogibear59]

tricip size

dips~closegrip benches with a ez curl bar~tricip extensions

 

[macDbol]

Decline nose breakers. Period.

gotta try incorperating that in my routine,,i like he inclines

 

[HighIntensity]

close grip presses followed by skulls then one heavy french press

then hit the extensions till swelled, I do weighted dips but more for my chest

 

[Wyllis]

I only included the heavy chest and shoulder barbell exercises in the poll because I read an article by Kevin Levrone and he attributed his monster triceps to heavy benching.

Anyone else think like he does? Or is it all down to direct tricep exercises?

 

[Juice Moose]

I feel heavy benches in my tri's a good bit, but what really made mine take off were strict and heavy french presses, skull crushers were next, and then close grip bench.

 

[Welsh power house]

Personally I think its the heavy benching exercises.

Yeah i agree with you there...heavy fuckin bench pressing.
Dips are good too, but benching is king of upper body mass in my books.

 

[Wyllis]

Any more??

[The mann]

i'll bump for ya brother,......i compete in bench meets and i'll tell you this for mass and power i keep rotating all types of extnsions,ez curl bar,straight bar,d/b as my main moves.pushdowns,and other stuff is secondary........just my .02

 

[BigRed54]

1.Heavy Close grip bench
2. Nose Breakers (what those tendons!)
3. V-bar pushdowns~to really get the pump going.

 

[Island Son]

Decline nose breakers. Period.

Definitely. I use dumbells myself, palms facing in. I made better gains in 4 months than with pressdowns for over a year. Reverse the grip and do pulldowns instead of pressdowns, one arm at a time & slow, those are great!

I agree with The mann on rotating.Close grips and skulls with the straight bar are my favs.

 

[~~~]

Seated Tricep Extensions along with Pushdowns work great for me.

 

[big4life]

Elbows out extensions work great for me.

 

[Dogfox]

giant set of dips supersetted with dips

 

[needtogetaas]

Ya I am going to go with dips followed by my fav push downs

 

[ExtraMile]

Ya I am going to go with dips followed by my fav push downs

what sort of handle attachment do you use for pushdowns?

 

[1cent]

If had to choose only one, it'd def be weighted dips. Very heavy tri extensions would be my second, they'll pump you like mad if you do em right.
