The ONLY 2 Exercises for Thicker Triceps
Video Overview & Insights
If you have felt triceps or they are just not growing the way you want them to; it most likely comes down to not focusing on the right head of the triceps when it comes to your triceps workouts.
that rocking pushdown never works for me. heel becomes a lever and significantly reduces the work done by the tricep
You see, if you want to build big arms that will fill your shirt sleeves, you need to focus on the long head of the triceps first and foremost. This head makes up 2/3 of the size of the triceps, the muscle that makes up 2/3 of your arm. So, training it correctly and effectively will help to build significant arm size.
To best train the long head of the triceps, you need to focus your efforts on two exercises.
I live in France. I can't do these without everyone telling me I'm doing everything wrong at the gym.
The first exercise you need to start applying to your triceps workouts is the lying triceps extension. While similar in appearance to a skull crusher, this exercise instead puts loaded stretch on the long head of the triceps (something you don’t get with a skull crusher.) The key here is to make sure your arms don’t come too far forward as doing so will take tension off the triceps at the top of the exercise.
The second exercise you want to add to your routine is the rocking pushdown. This variation of a classic pushdown will keep tension on the triceps throughout the range of motion simply by the fact that the line of resistance (the cable) will be perpendicular to the forearms from beginning to end.
Doing the 2nd one if gym is empty and im by myself 😂😅

@eternaleros_dI've been doing the triceps extensions like this for a decade because I saw Dorian Yates do them like this because he said skull crushers caused him tendinitis.
@Curt-rn7upLong head😂
@HopeFaithExpect77Skullcrushers are the coldest tricep builders I just do those and cable extensions works solid
@ollieremington1398I cant do skull crusher because of my shoulder injury so 2nd it is for me
@noobtextwritergamerI will tray😊
@PeakHealthDaily-b1sI just started doing weight training. One gym I went to had a broken rope. I tied a knot and did single arm push downs. Honestly I’m not sure I’d ever go back to doing both at the same time. If done slow you can hold crazy tension on the tricep for a long time.
@richardfleming5152Have you tried the rocking doggy push down. Two birds one stone my nigga.
@doctorboy589263 wrist are shot do you know of a way to exc with out ruining what I have left i use splints still painful maybe bands ?
@ToddSmith-369thats it!
@ben.fitness101The rocking pushdown seems like your body is helping the exercise
@mac5856How about dips?
@BESTFORYOU321Bros got that Tmlh
@patrickstar7428No smith machine forward facing forarms?
@NFATooColdIt's better to do the tricep push down one arm at a time. That way you don't get blocked by your legs when you're pushing down and you can get it further stretch. You will really feel these as you push all the way back, feels almost like doing a tricep kickback at that point.
@Will-l4k3i🩼 only one thing is missing
@Scrupulous96Damn it man! It is just so fucking hard to listen to anything you say when you talk about doing stupid ass moves like this!!! I’m done!!!!
@punkrockrocksOGI want a long a head after a long day at work. Wait... that came out wrong.

@Thee_Holy_SpiritSkull crusher is good for long head but, the push down isn't
@matthewmartins1112Lunch lady build
@DoctorD1ngleWhat about the rope attachment, cable overhead extensions? Set the cable at like hip height, turn and face away from it, and do your overhead extensions?
