Triceps

[Womanizer]

What are some really effective tricep workouts with barbells or dumbells?

Barbell. Close Grip Bench = Best although it isnt an isolation for the triceps/

I cannot express how much Close Grip presses helped my tri's. When I started doing them, all of my tricep exercises improved. I like Pressdowns and French Presses also.

Good thing to do. It's like any other excercise. Once you can do more than ten comfortably, it's time to start adding weight.

I think my front delt's take over way too much for close-grips. I actually prefer skulls.

For me the best are close grip presses, elbows ot extensions, and JM presses. The last two are shown in this thread.

i like splitting it up in 2 days

cgb - heavy
dips - heavy
pressdowns - moderate weight

skulls - moderate weight
overhead ext - same as above
pressdown - higher reps
