Tricep Exercises

[Smilee21]

I would really like to focus more on shaping my arms and work on bringing out my triceps.

Can you please help list some of the different exercises you do?

I prefer free weights and the cable machine, I have an injured shoulder/rotator cuff that kind of limits me right now.

I cannot do Dips unless their assisted and Push ups are a little too much for my right shoulder right now.

Thanks

Got nothin special for u bud. Other than dips could be the worst thing you can do if you have a shoulder injury.
That is straight from my (real athlete) and Sports Med Doctor

She is a Budette but I feel you and agree that dips + shoulder issues= more shoulder issues.

Stick to push downs and the rope pulls Smilee, remember to squeeze at the bottom and hold it for a second or two before repeating the motion.

Thank you Zeek. I will remember to sqeeze at the bottom and hold it for a second or two before repeating the motion.

Last night I did a variation of a Skull Crusher using the 45lb barbell and positioned my elbows a little higher above my head, while I raised my hands towards me, (my training partner C helped me with my form as I did it). Felt awkward bc it is a new exercise for me, but I did like it, seemed to work a lot more of my tricep, hits it differently than I am use too.

I like DB or cambered BB presses behind the head, but with the shoulder injury, probably like others said, stick to cable press downs switching up the handles until it heals.

I do this exercise on Tricep days however I do them as singles instead of rotating one from the other. I like these ones, they do not seem the bother my right shoulder. Thanks for attaching a demo for us to view.

This^^^ destroys my triceps. Great exercise

skull crushers, overhead extensions, pressdowns...these won't hurt your shoulders too much. The best are dips and close grip bench (but as you said, they can hurt the shoulder)

Exactly, that's why i do it too.

I love close grip bench press, if it is ok on your shoulder-flat, incline, or smith machine. Cable pushdowns are a close second. Right behind those, skull crushers with an EZ bar.
