Right now I'm only doing 9 sets of cable pushdowns but I wanna try someting else. My bis are progressing faster than my tris... Anyone with experience can tell me the best exercice for mass on triceps?? thx

If you do three sets of each of those, and three sets of the cable pushdowns, you should be packing on some tricep size soon enough.

I agree with CPL 3 sets of 3 exercises go heavy as f**k I cant stress that enough. Be in the rep range of 6-8. Try to vary ur exercises every 4 weeks, thats what I do, and I like it. It keeps me more excited. Always renovate ur exercises, sets, and /or reps!!!!!!

Bench-305(5 partial reps)
Squat-450(4 reps)
deadlift-435(2-3 partials)
front squats- 225(6-8)
leg press-835(8reps)
at 19!
priceless

Close-grip bench press is definitely my favorite tricep exercise. I do it on a decline bench as suggested in another thread (http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/STRONGEST_MAN_IN_THE_WORLD%21%21%21/m_22521/tm.htm). I like them because it's a heavy weight (I use 185 lbs) and it's a nice full range of motion.

The other tricep exercise I do is overhead rope extensions.

I tried skullcrushers but always felt unsure of my form.

Skullcrushers are definitely sorta scary when you're first learning the form, and the amount of weight you should be using- But once you get the motion down, they really hit the triceps well. This is actually the exercise I meant when I said lying triceps extensions in my earlier post, by the way...

I find the best exercises to build tricep mass for myself are compound exercises.

Weighted Dips and close grip bench press seem to work. Lying Tricep Extensions (skull crushers) are great too.

starting tomorrow I'm gonna incorporate close grip presses, lying extensions and some over the head too.

But any form of lying tricep extensions, I tried em and I feel like my elbows are taking a bad hit. Are they good for elbows? I'm pretty sure I got good form cauz they're working like crazy.

You can try Rope Pulldown, 50 seconds by rep, 5 stop position, 10 secs each stop

1st Stop: Arm 90 degree
2nd Stop: Between 90 and 180
3nd Stop: Arm 180 (Bottom end position, each side of the quads)
4nd Stop: Between 90 and 180
5nd Stop: Arm 90 degree

Take a 2-3 mins break, raise your weight and repeat :)
