waylander -> RE: best tricep exercises (May 5 2008 20:59:05)
close grip bench, dips, skull crushers, I like fixed bar tricep extensions to finish also works abbs!

Although you'll look like a wierdo doing these in a commercial gym, board presses and rack lockouts are excellent.

and lay on bench holding bar with arms straight above head and lower hands to head by bending elbow but keep upper arms straight-the name exscapes me
Thats a lying tricep extension or skull crusher or if lowering behind the head a french press.
What does your whole routine look like thats a lot of movements for the tris and not the best choice either for a beginner
been training for over a year now just wanting some sound advice on triceps as having difficulty building them.
whats a good routine to build size mate?
currently arms are at 14 1/2 inches but most is bicep

p.s tricep push downs at gym= dips on a machine
waylander -> RE: best tricep exercises (May 5 2008 21:29:37)
dips 3x8 close grip 5x5 and if you want a comp fixed bar tricep extensions esp with narrow grip I do it on the smith machine dropping the hight with each set untill you can do no more
fun meter -> RE: best tricep exercises (May 5 2008 21:32:11)
Bench and Overhead Presses will build your triceps. But for direct work, Tricep Dips, CGBP or Skull crushers work nicely. Just stick with doing one of them and focus on building up the weight.

waylander -> RE: best tricep exercises (May 5 2008 21:43:06)
I do chest triceps together Bench 5x5 flys 3x8 dips 3x8 close grip BP 5x5 fixed bar triceps or scull crushers I feel dips as a good cross over between chest and tris
