favorite tri exercises

[markshark]

ive always used skullcrushers as the first tri exercise in my workout but they kill my elbows and need some new shit. what exercises do u fellas and girls for that matter like the most with tris? i would do close grip bench but sometimes my chest is still sore from chest day when i have tri day and i dont wanna over work the chest so i tend to avoid those. just chat here.

warmup more before skulls and make sure your elbows are pointing straight up. alot of times people try to bring the bar to a specific point and the elbows shift towards their feet slightly. this tends to cause the pain. biggest thing though, is warming up thoroughly.

skulls are my favorite. close grip bench is also great, but it fucks up my wrists.

Honestly i like using a pull down weighted pully with the rope attachment. Gotta concentrate on keeping your wrists apart, and that is a workout in itself. Plus with good form i'll move a ton more weight that i could ever do with skullcrushers.

Second to that is close grip.

tricep pressdowns with a straight bar supersetted with dips, my fave

My tri routine pretty much revolves around Vbar pushdowns, weight dips, inclined skull crushers, and overhead extensions.

If you are looking for a change, try 1-arm overhead DB extensions..?

My spanish archers (a.k.a. el bows) are jacked as well, rarely do any bicep work except for hammers to warm up and occassionally barbell curls to show the meatheads a frumpy guy can swing it like they can...

Now that I'm done talking about myself, I'll puke out my usual...

I do tricept extensions once a week for 3 sets and so far that's all I've needed for my tries.

I use a 90deg bench though so my back is straight.
