Sunday, July 18, 2004 9:30 AM
I'm trying to figure out the best exercice to put mass on my triceps. 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

Lying triceps extensions are great for mass- So are close grip bench presses. 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 No Light f***in weights, if you complain just shut the f*** up and go home!!!! Fall 05 pledge class-SiGeP

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.

50 seconds per rep?! There's no way I could motivate myself to do that consistently.
