Have you ever wondered which triceps exercises are the BEST? Thats what we will look into in todays video! For this tierlist, i chose these exercises: overhead dumbbell extension, overhead cable extension, close grip benchpress, diamond pushup, skullcrusher, lying crossover triceps extension, triceps pushdown, straight bar triceps pushdown, triceps pushdown with a rope attachement, single arm triceps pushdown, vbar triceps pushdown, triceps kickback, cable triceps kickback, dips, cross body triceps extension, leaning overhead extension, dumbbell extension behind the head, and the cable extension behind the head. All of the rankings are based on my own experience, and not on useless scientific studies. But you should always keep in mind, that everyone is different, and something that works for me, might not be so great for you. So dont forget that!

can you please do a calfs tier list

[@GabidenAssassin]

Weighted dips + Skull crusher is where its at and I'm not even exaggerating. Both these exercises are truly S tier. Dips blew up my chest, triceps AND shoulder size.

[@ThePhysicalReaction]

Skull crushers and dips, with proper intensity and full range of motion (no half dips, no tiny skull crushers), are plenty enough to get massive triceps. A person truly doesn't even need to mess around waiting for cables to open up. Of course cables are fine, but many people have lackluster technique with them. For skull crushers and dips, you either go down and up all the way or you don't, its very straight forward and effective.

[@Jedilord882]

What about the tricep dip machine?

[@Gab566]

​@@Jedilord882 limits your range of motion, your core is not engaged so the workout is less effective, and the machine makes the workout less intense

S tier

[@sumarnoatika2904]

​@@ahmedmousawi7:11 It should be good for the triceps. If you want to focus on the triceps then the legs should be straight down, not bent and the position should also be upright and add a weight plate or vest to the dips/weighted dips. Well, that's for sure the triceps burn more, I'm currently doing it and yes, my long head triceps pump perfectly. So in conclusion, if you want to get bigger, add weight to the dips, not just body weight. KEEP IT UP.I don't really care about tier issues, but B tier is also good💪👌😊⚡

I would definitely put lying triceps extensions on S+ tier. This exercise single-handedly saved me from skinny arms in record times, and it's super easy to progress on.

As a regular gym goer I really love adding diamond pushups to failure after finishing a triceps pushdown to failure. I found it to be a sweet combination for triceps gains and the results have been phenomenal. And it quickly became a favourite part of my routine!

[@Lev782]

I usually agree with Trainer Winny but I would put Weighted Dips in S Tier. Seated Machine Dips with Plates for Stability/Isolation and Body Weight with Chain Belt Dips for the Deep Stretch and ability for Progressive Overload from the plates you can hang from under your belt once body weight becomes too easy (i.e. Reps over 12-15). You get a great stretch from both especially using the Power Tower for the Bodyweight Dips the deeper you go (and you look cool doing it, trust me on that), just be careful with your shoulders and don’t go too heavy when you first start out. I agree with Cable Pushdown for S, but I would place EZ Bar Skull Crushers on flat bench over the Upright Overhead Cable Extension/Leaning. I personally find those Overhead Cable variations the least stable as you increase load.

[@lonestar9513]

[@youknownothing9556]

Literally just checked your account 5 minutes ago, wondering when your next video will come out. Great content bro!

[@mihailopopovic4759]

I find dips to be interesting exercise. In terms of triceps only I would put it in A. If I look at it as compound push movement it is a 100% S tier for me. In my oppinio best pushing exercise, even better than all kinds of bench presses. Edit: I realy like your simple videos.

Thank you for existing, I'm a volleyballer not a bodybuilder, but you explain things quite thoroughly so we can understand the underlying principles behind the movements, making it so anyone can benefit from your videos ^^

[@BigDragon15]

One more thing - the JM Press. It might seem like a gimmicky skullcrusher but once you start doing it, it really makes the triceps feel like nothing else. I would say that to grow the triceps, the overhead cable extension and some kind of pushdown are essential, but adding the JM press to the mix really completes everything and makes sure you have all the bases covered.

The thing I love about the forehead variation of skullcrusher is the fact that its all triceps and no chest or shoulders involved. Basically, my triceps workout is Skullcrusher to forehead and standing DB overhead extension. The burn on my lateral and long heads are insane!

Great video, only thing I might add is that the cable cross body extension can be done with just one arm at a time so you don’t hog two cables at once. I personally would put it in S but everything else is spot on

[@duraka462]

Its a good day when winny posts.

[@Metallicarule1991]

Glad to see that most of the exercises I do for triceps make it either to S tier or A tier, and the only B tier exercise is dips. I generally vary between rope tricep cable pushdowns and leaning forward rope cable extensions supersets, a lying down version of the dumbbell overhead tricep extension (kind of basically a single dumbbell skullcrusher/lying tricep extension gripping the dumbbell at one weighted end and raising it above my head then lowering it again), rolling dumbbell tricep extensions or basically what Trainer Winny described as dumbbell skullcrushers (with a lighter weight and 2 dumbbells going to the side of the ears and not behind and below the head like the single dumbbell heavier counterpart), dips (still a bit assisted as I haven't quite got the strength to do unassisted or weighted dips for reps just yet, and the seated tricep extension machine thats like a reverse preacher curl pulling from the top and has two handles as opposed to a bar.

Sitting cable triceps pushdown - the cable will go over your forehead, your back is pointing to the cable.... This exercise singlehandedly gave me the most tricepgains i had in years and years of training. You people really need to check this out. Made it up myself.

[@Mayonason]

Will Tennyson put us on with the close-grip incline smith bench press to target the triceps. It hits great! I treat that excercise and heavy pushdowns as the "compound" exercise for my triceps! Great video!

[@mr.gentleman3595]

Waiting for this one so Long

[@Emeraudus]

After binging these videos from winny, I see a pattern that cable exercises are usually one of the best out there. Luckily my body agrees since I enjoy doing them a lot due to them being stable and constant tension throughout. More importantly, they don't give me any joint pains at all.

[@peterjenei1619]

Behind the neck press has done the job for me perfectly!

I love the rope with tricep pushdowns. When at peak extenstion I like to pull the rope apart for a crazy squeeze. Feels Great.

[@codem5285]

There's a movement like the skull crushers than can be done by placing the cable on hip level and get any bar or rope you can use and push it overhead, it's called the Cable Overhead Tricep Extension, really great exercise based from my personal experience.

[@cday0075]

My favorite lift that wasn’t mentioned here is the dumbbell pullover. Obviously works the chest too but I love it to target the long head of the tricep

[@LUISRivera-gv2cz]

Since I started going to the gym I just got used to close grip bench press and thats probably the reason my triceps are developed even tho I never trained them as much

[@brownshoeT2]

Standings barbell overhead tricep extensions are my favorite personally

[@Mwhahahahahaha]

An exercise I used to do is called the rolling triceps extension loved the movement and it targeted all heads of the triceps

[@allsmilesguy]

So I’ve tried everything for triceps and then I finally found my magnum opus. If you’re like me and the usual tricep work just doesn’t connect, try chair or bench dips. At home I’ll face a chair toward my bed and move at a far enough distance so my ankles can rest on the side of my bed, then I put my hands on either side of the chair (make sure you have some kind of weight to hold the chair in place) then put your feet up on the bend and lower forward in a dip until your elbows are about 90 degrees. You’ll feel it in your triceps, then when you go up, push yourself back a bit and really stretch the triceps. I guarantee after 10 you’ll start feeling it. Same rules can be done with two parallel benches.

[@crixus88-]

I always did my tricep pushdown with the rope and it did feel great. One day there was no cables available and I used the V bar...god damn I regret it that I didnt used it earlier. I feel now my tricep like never before(muscle mind connectio), the pump, the burning, the feeling after just everything. When you push down with the V bar, let the cable go up without your help, this will make the exercise better and hold it down there 2-3 seconds.
