tricep routine

[jmead]

im having problems trying to develope my triceps brachii.. my triceps lateralus is probably one of my most developed muscles.. but the inner tricep is lagging..

i want to start isolating it.. what do some of you guys do to hit your innner tricep..

sorry i took some med term classes and anatomy so i felt smart for a second

1 arm Triceps Cable Press downs, palms facing down,

nice good 4-5 sets 12-15 reps slow and heavy

do one arm then the other back and forth

Begin your Tricep routine with HEAVY close-grip bench presses, and HEAVY weighted DIPS. 4-6 sets EACH.

Then proceed into Skull crushers/CG burnout, 3-5 sets

Then cable pressdowns, using several different grips, 3-5 sets

Finish off with some DB kickbacks. 3 sets

Don't neglect your long head however, so including several OVERHEAD extensions is IMPERATIVE.

Happy growing..

thanks..

i feel like my lateralus dominates mostly every tricep workout.. i cant seem to feel the burn in my brachii

kickbacks are one of the only workouts ive found to hit it..ive heard from a few gym rats to try lock armed tricep pulldowns.. basically standing with your arms extended bar in hand, and pull to your waist/midsection with the arm still locked.. should that hit the brachii or scratch that

the advice I gave isolates that area REALLY well

I do it last in the routine and just go till fry out.

Also, try adjusting your rep range, your DOMINANT head may be compensating.

Skull crushers, heavy as possible, but watch for tendon and ligament injury.

Press downs,


Overhead extensions.


My arms, triceps are my best assets, but tendon and ligament pain in the last 4 months has lowered my skull crushers from 150 lbs to 35 lbs.

I love skull crushers, simply love them, could do them every day.
