the best exercice is the one that doesnt give you joint pain

[@user-xi9mc2uu8n]

Literally any tricep excersize gives only my left elbow joint pain. I just did tris yesterday and my left elbow joint is inflamed righr now. I was hoping that it wouldd go away as my left got stronger, cause my right is stronger right now. I've been having an issue cause when i do presses my left tricep doesnt fkn kick in no matter how hard i try to focus on it. The focus i put on it also throws me off and still doesnt even work. I believe it is possibly because of mobility issues and training through it causing more imbalance. Ima go get chiropractic work done for the first time hopefully that works.

I worked with a guy who only did three different exercises in the 1980s and early 90s when we started working out. He did chins with different grips, squats and dips. He added a weight belt with progressively more weight as he progressed. I used mostly weights and the common every day exercise routines, bench press, military press, curls, etc. After a couple of years he outgained me in muscle mass by a great deal. He looked incredible! He never deviated from his routine. Frustrated with my results i followed his 3 exercise routine and after about 6 to 8 months people could not believe my transformation. And thats ALL i did for about a year and my gains were great! Yes! Dips for chest and triceps! My triceps seemed to double in size after a year of dips!

I think the most overlooked part of any muscle building is the mind muscle connection, I been training 5 years and I always knew it to be true but it’s only the last 6 months that I feel like I actually understand what that actually means, Also the isolation to compound can be true, but I think it’s not about isolation to failure it’s about getting some blood in there to feel the muscle

[@BigTank90]

Yes dips and close grip bench press. My triceps pump up hard.

[@varnadorel]

It depends, close grip bench press might be a good triceps exercise for some but a chest exercise for others. I personally find that isolation exercises work best for me. Dips and close grip bench presses, for me personally, are chest builders since I don't feel them in my triceps but in my chest. The great strength coach Christian Thibaudeau talks about this in great detail. This shows that we are all different and best exercises for a muscle group shouldn't be prescribed universally but rather according to their body type.

[@EriPages]

Here's the thing about dips: They are a COMPOUND movement, not an isolation exercise. For that reason, my chest but mostly my shoulders EXPLODE with dips. I can target the triceps with them on a narrow dip, but if the dip is a standard width, it's pure shoulders & chest for me bro

[@dave93x]

You can fire up your triceps on dips more by going to lock out. If you're barely going back up then it's more chest. But, as the guy above me said, dips activate a lot of muscles, even in the core when you get to weight them.

[@mannymotta2174]

Dips done with a closer grip and a straight posture will hit the tri’s. Wider grip leaning forward hits the chest. Close grips … keep elbows in and hands slightly closer. Remember that pushing exercise puts on more mass than hinged.

[@lacerdafelipe]

6:08 This message is huge and makes a lot of sense.

[@roebuckmckinney]

Way back when I started, a guy taught me an exercise that he called "Cutting the Stack" that is still my favorite, especially for the lateral head. You get a long rope or two regular ropes (one long rope feels a little better to me, but they're not easy to find) and kneel down on the floor facing the cable machine. Set the weight to something you can do for ten reps, and as you reach the bottom of the movement, let your elbows flare so your hands are all the way down at your sides. Do those ten reps, then move the pin to 1/2 of the weight you were doing and do 20 more. Then do another set. If you're dialed in right, you probably won't be able to make it through a third set. We did these as finishers on a push day, but I'm sure they could fit other places. I've always kept them in my program ever since I learned them.

[@BodyOpt]

rope is a poor choice, as explained in my post at the very top. And my explanation contains the reason that you realise longer ropes are better than shorter ropes (there's less spreading apart, relative to the actual line of resistance).

[@roebuckmckinney]

@@BodyOpt DOES NOT COMPUTE. ONLY EXERCISES THAT ARE OPTIMAL MAY BE PERFORMED>> ELIMINATE >> ELIMINATE

[@BodyOpt]

@@roebuckmckinney not sure what you're on about dude. You can't argue with physics just because you know what caps lock is. Using a rope unilaterally is fine. Using it bilaterally means you have to spread apart. The spreading action means you are no longer ALIGNED: that part of your outward effort is not opposing the line of resistance. It is wasted effort, and only gets worse the more you spread. That's WHY it feels so hard, but it's not as efficient or effective. That's why you cannot use the same load with a rope vs a bar. The return on your effort is much lower. You need the resistance to DROP OFF at the bottom, not INCREASE! If you don't know anything about muscle mechanics or resistance mechanics, that's fine. But you're obviously devoted if you are reading this and watching Mind Pump. And I recognise that. Please keep an open mind and go to personal training.com on KZbin. Tom Purvis, he's the guy who taught me since 2014 and it's changed my life. If a trainer doesn't know the physics, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Training is about anatomy and physics. Very few have a grasp of the latter. I appreciate I may sound dismissive but I already spent 2000-2014 learning from many other "experts" until I realised they're all full of crap.

To the last point you guys made: I think once people reach a certain level of advancement, it becomes very systemically fatiguing to continue progressing heavy compounds once you get very big and strong. A lot of people build their base that way, but your shoulder, elbows, wrists, etc begin to take such a beating that it makes much more sense to still get a good tricep stimulus through isolation without all the other stress that comes from compounds. If you’re not close grip pressing 2 or 3 plates for reps, you’re probably not at that point, and you could benefit greatly from heavy compounds.

I recently bought a Tricep Bar and tested some presses with it, Man it was amazing. Whats your take on a regular bar vs a tricep bar for presses?

[@repentandfollowjesuschrist6170]

Tricep dips and cable press

[@eiric6958]

Weighted diamond pushup. Helps a lot. Helped me too. :)

[@Yanniskats111]

Very good analysis and interesting…👍

[@Kaniala-l7s]

dips fo sho in a superset fashion with diamond pushups. You can isolate with single cable rope pressdowns. Those 3 are top in my opinion.

I get good activation from rings when I isolate my triceps. It’s an inverted skull crusher but with body weight.

[@clifforddang5947]

I have been using the ab roller piece of equipment for the last year and my tricep has grown so much just from doing that.

[@mikehawke2172]

Tricep extension, underhand flat bench, and french presses seem to work for me.

[@HaasKage]

Can anyone give me any examples of tricep exercises that are in front of the body.

[@mikemiller551]

Close grip shoulder presses. It's not a shoulder press, but the same movement, just close grip.

So back in 2010 I got on the juice and worked my tri’s almost every day I got so wide so quick that I was running in to door frames and shit because I didn’t know how wide I was, actually have a scar on my arm from a nail that was sticking out on a door frame. Now years later, I barely have to do anything to my tris when I get back to the gym after a year off or so. They grow like crazy
