Q on developing tricep

[lwgy]

The lateral head of my tricep (the part that sticks out on the side) has always been well developed, but ive had a problem developing the long head of my tricep.

what exercises are meant to specifically hit the long head?

If your not sure what i mean by long vs. lateral, there is a good diagram below.

You can also do it standing, one hand at a time, etc...

i just want to say thanks to everyone (and also give out a few more karma points). i did tris on monday and i can really feel it today in the long head area of my tri. This is exactly what i needed.
