What do you do for heavy triceps work?

[InTraining]

A board press for anyone wondering is a bench press(close, normal, wide grip whatever) with 1,2,3,4,5 2x6s(I think) on your chest to focus on a specific part of the lift....One brings the bar down and sinks it into the board and then presses....

Thanks for the info...now why would one do this? It seems like you are only doing quarter or half reps. I've never heard of that. Anyone who can shed some light on this?[/QUOTE]


Mainly PLers do it for strengthening weak points in the bench press...it basically isolates the ROM which someone is weakest on....

As for BBing purposes...I would imagine a close grip 3 board would hammer the tris...

I need to build some boards

In trainng gave a good explanation..Also, even though you a bb'er if youre doing cg bench u really shouldnt be bringing the bar all the way down to your chest, you want to keep tension on the tri's, so using 1-3 boards would be useful..

My triceps workout is all heavy and consits of:

Narrow Grip Bench
Skull Crusher (or sometimes weighted dips between benches)
Pushdowns

I just checked out the joeskopic mpg for skull-crushers....

Looks like he's doing these on the flat-bench with a straight olympic bar....

Anyone tried that variation? Looks pretty good.

I hate loading up that ez-curl bar....(all pussy insults welcomed).

My bad - they called them JM Presses....looks like skull-crushers with straight BB...wider grip...

Anyone use these?
