Triceps Exercises Ranked (BEST TO WORST!)

There are so many triceps exercises, but which ones should you be focusing your efforts on if you want to build bigger triceps and increase your strength? In this video, I’m going to give you the most popular tricep exercises ranked from worst to best and help you to determine which you should be doing and which you can probably ditch.

With that said, we have to lay out the criteria for the triceps exercise selections. The first thing is that it has to be a multi-dimensional exercise if possible. This means, if it is only good at hypertrophy but provides no opportunity for overload and for building progressive strength, then it is not going to rank up there with the exercises for triceps that do a good job at both.
Furthermore, if the movement doesn’t do a good job of stimulating the triceps muscle fully it is likely going to rank lower on the list than others. Remember, there are three heads to the triceps. Two of these only cross the elbow and are therefore only concerned with the bending and straightening of the joint. The other, the long head, crosses the shoulder which makes it uniquely engaged and capable of a better contraction with certain triceps exercises rather than others.
With that being said, we start laying out the list and work our way up the rankings from the worst chest exercise to the best triceps exercise.
WORST
1. Standing DB Powerbombs
2. Lying Crossface Extensions
3. Bench Dips
The Standing DB powerbomb or overhead dumbbell extension is not one of the best is and always will be at the bottom of the list for me. Not only does it place your shoulder joint at increased risk of injury due to the weighted internal rotation that you must assume to get in position to do the move, but it also doesn’t give the triceps the best stretch possible. A later variation of this does much better.
The lying crossface extension is a single arm variation of the Tate Press. While I have immense respect for the man himself, I am not a fan of this triceps exercise. The reasons are similar to those stated for the powerbomb. The position of the arm during the movement is the starting position for the Hawkins Kennedy impingement test. Too much internal rotation. Even though it’s not weighting the internal rotation there are simply better ways to load elbow extension.
The bench dip is one I’ve covered extensively here on this channel.
BETTER
5. Rope Pushaways
6. Basic Triceps Pushdowns
7. Diamond Cutter Pushups
The rope pushaway fails to be as effective as a triceps exercise as possible due to an issue with the physics of the movement. In order to maximize the force applied to the muscle you are working you want to maintain a perpendicular line of force to the forearm.
The basic pushdown has some of the same limitations. While the tension is high at the start of every rep, it declines as you approach the fully contracted triceps position at the bottom.
Diamond Cutter pushups are often times too remedial to provide a growth stimulus (unless they are being done as a high rep metabolic exercise at the end of a hard chest or push workout).
BETTER STILL
8. Cobra Pushups
9. Reverse Grip Triceps Pushdowns
10. Overhead Rope Extensions
11. JM Press
Cobra pushups are a harder version of the basic diamond cutter pushup and give you that long head engagement that makes their ability to stimulate triceps growth even better.
The reverse grip pushdown sets up the long head for better stimulation making it a preferred option.
The overhead rope extension fixes the physics limitations of the triceps pushaway.
The JM Press utilizes some momentum and a moving arm during the exercise to make it one you are able to load up on better. If you feel any discomfort in the elbow or wrist during this move simply switch to a dumbbell for a neutral hand position.
ALMOST BEST
12. Triceps Kickbacks
13. DB Incline Power Bombs
14. Weighted Upright Dips
15. Rocking Pushdowns
16. Close Grip Bench Press
These five triceps exercises are at the top of the heap when it comes to the best exercises for building big triceps. Watch the video to see the specific reasons why they stand alone.
BEST
15. Lying Triceps Extensions
There simply is no better triceps exercise for building a big back of your arms. Watch to see why.

[@eruptrl8893]

Hi

[@monviestomicollo6913]

Don't know if someone will read this, but every time I do the exercises that require to do something overhead with weights my lower back gets seriously injured, sometimes even rotating vertebrae out of their natural position, making it impossible to exercise or hold my back straight after. I know because I tried it multiple times to try and not do anything with my back while doing the exercise. So, even though they are ranked best and almost best here, maybe there is some extra information that can be given there to make it possible to do that without being a back breaker? Thanks in advance!

[@marekpadlewski4401]

Hi Jeff I have huge respect for your channel, which I’ve been following for about 8 years now. That being said, after watching this video, I need to adress the elephant in the room… If the bench dip (a.k.a rotator cuff ripper ) gets your big red x ( which i fully agree with, after messing up my shoulder with it a few years back ) imagine my shock, when I got one of your programs and saw that you want me to do this thing every week for a month straight in your „mobilization phase”. Are you planning to update the program with an alternative push drill ? Personally I will go for supported tricep dips maybe ? Stay strong Jeff

[@athleanx]

@@marekpadlewski4401 Hi Marek! Thanks for the question since it illustrates perhaps more clarification is needed than I included in the video? The bench dip is absolutely an exercise that can be performed safely WITH the modification of hand placement shown both here in this video and in the program you are referencing. If however, you still prefer a different exercise, then by all means switching to something that doesn't seem to bother your shoulder is the best long term action you can take. Hope this makes sense!

I agree Completely 💯

[@maitreyamittal2774]

I second that

[@dhanarajukatari8494]

Thank you sir for your good information

[@simplylean7297]

Great information Jeff!

[@JCBPARISPARIS]

The best move seems to give excessive tension in the shoulders/rotator cuff, for me it's not #1. Btw thanks for great content, please continue this serie.

[@richarddurnin3905]

Well, this explains several of my past rotator cuff injuries. Knowing what not to do is clearly as important (possibly more important) as knowing what to do. Science crushes myth yet again.

[@dasppg9737]

Currently have rotator cuff injury due to one of the first exercises he mentioned to not do

[@richarddurnin3905]

@@dasppg9737 Believe it or not I once ended up with a double (not joking, both shoulders!) cuff injury because of "advice" from a doctor(no joke, an MD). When ppl give you advice just nod politely and then check it against what Jeff is saying.

[@nicholaseads3538]

Absolutely love the videos!

[@PDeker]

Hi Jeff, took your advice and changed my triceps work out because I noticed I have not gotten sore or felt a good pump of my triceps after workout. So I did 4 sets of lying down extensions 70 lb curl bar followed by 15 dips. I have been sore for two days and that makes me feel soooooo goooood. Thanks

[@jameskerr1859]

These best-to-worsts are the best instructional videos I have seen. Well done; keep it up, Jeff.

[@sobster123]

The "rotator cuff ripper" ohh I love you Jeff!!! 😆💜 Skull crushers have always been my favorite tricep exercise :p

[@coehfelipe]

Please do more videos like this. Great stuff! Regards from Brazil

[@marcusrios8517]

Excellent video!!!

[@jamesbond7624]

You’re the best Jeff I’ve learned so much while watching your channel

[@davidkloucekcz]

I like weighted bar dips and ring triceps extension.. yeah, calisthenics.

[@konradhylton]

This is my favourite series. Looking forward to see the version for back muscles

[@AllArePreciousToHim]

Thank you, Jeff! Your videos are so helpful!

I can’t believe John Meadows died. This channel and John is all I follow. Be nice to see Jeff pay tribute to him.

[@raduflorindunarentu9257]

he did on ig.

[@smileorgobyebye6330]

I read as ' Shawn Mendes' for some reason But :(

[@iambodybuildingyt221]

On ig Jeff made a post where he mentioned John meadows passing

[@jihadjoe4957]

We lost one of the the Great ones. Rest in Power John.

[@savino02]

Super subscribed here! Thank you mate 🙏🏻

[@s.daniels9564]

Great video!!! I wish I can do dips. I get a ton of shoulder impingement.

[@3four4door59]

I've always liked that analogy of jeffs. Muscles dont speak numbers they speak time under tention.

[@indojojon892]

so I should maximize time under tension in my exercise?

[@GlitchmanVGM]

Very helpful video!

[@jivendelgado1351]

THANK YOU brother your a blessing. Your knowledge is very helpful.
