For me the key to a good tri workout (or Bi) is to flood the muscle with blood before I start to work it. I do this by lying on a decline bench with my arms back over my head and flex my tris for 30 to 45 sec. I do this between light close grip bench press sets. I do as many short sets of both untill the muscle cramps. Then I work my tris. For me to bring out all tri heads is to work slow sets with med weight and really flex the muscle at the extention part of the exercise and hold it. That has helped me.

you problaby should focus more on bench and close grip bench the more you can press the bigger your triceps will be or at least should be

Try close grip floor press, 3x10. That's the best tricep exercise I've ever done.

 

[jocktheglide]

close grip, dips, decline close grip other than that if they dont grow something is wrong.

- what do u do for triceps bro, what doea ur routine look like?
- are u getting enough rest? how is ur form? enough weight?
- the best tri exercises are:
close grip bench
dips
floor press
close grip floor press
reverse grip bench
skulls
california/jm press
if you want big tri's choose 2-3 of these per wo and do 2-3 sets of each heavy, full rom, good form
peace

Dips are what made mine finally grow noticeably.

There are dozens of good tri excercises out there. Pick 3 that you like and do them strict, 4 sets each excercise once a week and your arms will grow over time assuming you sleep and eat right. Make sure to change your arm workouts up all the time too so your muscles don't get used to it.

Dips!

similar to cali press, try this the next time through.
a combination of three movements: skulls, a roll, and close grip. Lying down, extend your lower arms with your elbows as your pivot point (just like a skullcrusher) but bringing it down to your throat instead (controlled!!!). from there, roll the bar right along your front past your chest and to the upper abdomenal. after a slight pause, close grip that son of a batch and there's one rep for ya. Lot of lifters have little to no problem with the lateral and medial heads of the tris. The long head a bit more challenging, especially running down towars the elbow. This exercise ive found, really hits all three heads of the tricep.

I like one arm skull crushers, they really hurt the next day.

 

[tednatas]

weighted dips, heavy push downs witht he bar, and then the rope. "dimond push ups" are a great alternative to the close grip press.

Don't forget French press with a single heavy DB. Great mass builder.
