favorite tri exercises

[Introspective]

I do Standing barbell tricep extensions.
Here is a good list of different tricep exercises.

CG bench has been by far the most beneficial for my Tri's, and bench for that matter.

Dips (not parallel bar dips) where you can do them on two benches work well for tri's.

I am gonna have to agree.. and I completely forgot about them...

Elbow Out DB Extensions are an awesome db workout for your tris

weighted dips, also loving the hammer dip machine for a change of pace

Arm exercises aren't really necessary and have minimal gain for an experienced weight lifter (someone who's been lifting consistently for months on end, not someone who just knows a lot) IF you're doing the big movements... if you aren't doing the big movements you will probably stop making gains indefinetly before soon. That being said do what you like and most certainly don't do something that HURTS you... even though most of us here like the pain, there's good and bad pain, and what you're describing does not sound good. If you really wanna do that exercise I recommend either lowering the weight and doing higher reps or getting in a better warm-up or stop doing them for a while and come back later.

Personally I like using cables and do the one-arm pushdown shown here...

It's a smooth full movement and I love the feel of full extension in the tricep muscle. hmm I use to do skull crusher's as well (new place has only one bar and is used for EZ curls) ... didn't know they had such a cool name before.

I do (in this order) Benchpresses (not CG), Weighted dips, and then lying pullovers. My tri's feel like they're gonna explode by the last set of pullovers.

Uhmm yeah I'm pretty sure that's not true for me.
