If you could only use ONE exercise for building your triceps, what would it be?

[LeeJunFan]

I think my triceps are lacking a bit and want to know what people swear by for triceps?!?!?
Thanx!

Close grip bench press.

 

[LeeJunFan]

how far apart do you have your hands for this?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

10 inches or so. To the point where my elbows are lowering against my sides.

personally, close bench bench has never done it for me. neither has weighted dips. the only body part where a compound movement didn't feel nicer for me.

i prefer skull crushers. triceps pushdowns are easier on my elbows, but the results aren't as great.

Rope pushdowns...

I used to think that way about close grip but then realized I was doing them wrong. You have to keep your elbows againts your sides and lower to your sternum not your chest. Press in a straight line and not back towards your chest,head yadda yadda yadda.

Skullcrushers have always been my favorite as well.

My favorite is a standing skullcrusher and reverse grip skullcrusher. Its the same exersize onnly when ur standing I can get more reps off not worrying about it falling on my face or whatever i dont know why I get a way better work out from it
