Request: Link to explain the 3 Tricep Heads. Look inside.

[cwc73]

I'm looking for:
1. The uses of the three heads.
2. Which motions they control.
3. How to hit them; which excercises emphasize them.
4. Any other pertinant information regarding the three heads.

This info is not solely for me, but for friends and fellow ef'ers too.
I'll try to give some K out for help too!
Thanks.
Chris

Okay, I didn't look at your link, honest to god I didn't realize we were both using EXRX ... yours just says "a bit wordy" or something ... sorry ...

To me it's straightforward because it provides glossary links to the words that most people are unfamiliar with ... I'm in the medical field so it makes sense to me ...

Let's try these:

This might be more of an article describing what you want, it's a little more in layman's terms, you have to scroll down the page a bit ...

If those aren't close to what you're looking for sing out

Well, did you read down the article to Methodology???

Do remember that the triceps is more like one muscle with three attachment points. Just like your QUADriceps is like one muscle with FOUR attachment points, the BIceps ... you see where I'm going, right?

I briefly skimmed the article and what I got from it is if you do a couple of targeted triceps exercises that move in different planes and utilizing stretching and power then you've got your bases covered.

Here's the link to the main page of the website, he's got some pretty good workouts, maybe if you sift through you'll become more familiar with his workouts and it will start to fall together:

Overhead work for the Long Head.

I have an old magazine that broke down the lifts into main area targeted. Ill see if I can find it.

i like to do resistance band toe curls to help the strength of my strides while sprinting.

and i also do kettlebell swiss ball penis tucks to target the area of the abdominals that inserts into the symphysis pubis.

you know, that or full snatches, same effect.
