All right men, time to put in your two cents. I know everyone's body responds differently but here it is: what are THE all time greatest tricep lifts to build impressive and massive size on all heads of the tricep. Please try to give a reason why this is your go-to lift and how you incorporate into your workout. Invalid Link Removed

You also have got to realize that guy is extremely lean! That makes the tricep stand out a lot!
 
JM press, standing cable push down
 
My bad i didn't re-read what i posted. This stupid iPhone will autocorrect words with misspelled words some times and I never notice it. Not sure why it does it but its stupid and makes baby Jesus cry.

What are your thoughts on machines for triceps? I find it very hard to really feel it in my triceps when I try to isolate them with close grip bench or various dumbbell or barbell movements so I've started using the different machines my gym has to work the triceps more vigorously.

Thats because closegrip is not an isolation exercise for your triceps! Compound exercises are better because you can use alot more weight than isolation exercises. Dont get wrong isolation exercises are needed in a bodybuilder's workout plan, but you should also be doing the majority of the compound movements: bent bb rows, bench press, squat, pullups, shoulder press, etc!

I usually start my workouts with a heavy compound movement and then work towards the lighter ones.
 
I bench. I do skull crushers, and I do Tricep extensions, pushdowns, BOOM TRICERATOPS.
 
You need to very your positions of flexion as well, press downs with your elbows at your sides, presses to get your elbows in front of your chest, and extensions overhead. The more POF, the better your developement.
 
cable monster sets to failure at the end of all tricep days

CGBP, tate press, skull crusher, and incline french press

also keep changing angles to isolate different parts of the tricep.
 
I like doing close grip bench the way Jim Cordova describes: Invalid Link Removed

actually all of his advice for most lifts are great, he focuses a lot on the "feel" aspect of the muscle which I think is often overlooked when trying to move maximal weight. You can start off heavy then drop the weight and try to incorporate this method

Yea this is a good one man, this is what i like to see. I need to add in and switch up what I'm doing and this would be a good one.
 
For long head: overhead tricep extension

For lateral head: close grip bench (keep elbows close to body, don't let them flare out)

For medial head: dips, or push downs with elbows as far back as possible.
 
Lately I've been starting off with CGBP the trisetting overhead cable ext./OH cable ext/UH cable ext... Burns like hell and I've seen some great results with it. Probably not worth doing, it's just fun lol
 
I like skullcrushers but my triceps respond well to pretty much everything.

Ive been doing quad sets: 6x Close Grip DB bench press> 6x skull crushers> 12x incline skull crushers> 20 x db kickbacks
sets 1 2 and 3 have a 4010 tempo (with the negative being 4 seconds) and set 4 has a 20X0 tempo. With no breaks between each set, talk about pain! But its effective.
 
Incline triceps extension with bands are sick for pumps.

For mass....good ole close grip bench, heavy dips, and push downs get my vote.
 
Best For Building Triceps: Dips

Pushdowns might be your favorite triceps movement, but when was the last time you did dips? Since pushdowns are a single-joint exercise, they limit how much weight you can move. Dips, however, are a multijoint movement that involves the shoulders and elbows, meaning you can handle more weight (your bodyweight plus added plates as you advance) to build size.

I've also been loosely following ben pakulski's training ideas of hitting the muscle in a shortened and lengthened state, so it's more than just one single movement to build the muscle, get two long ropes and do rope extensions to apoint where your elbows get behind your back.....stuff like that

Might have to try that !
 
I'm a huge fan of dumbell skull crushers. Once you get the good form down pat, it's a great lift I always feel the next day
