My favorite is Pushdowns, but I think the CG bench and skulls have helped the most.

Brad224 · 12-09-2002, 12:47 PM

3 favs - all already mentioned - skullcrushers, close grip bench, and behind-back weighted dips.

Jemal · 12-09-2002, 07:46 PM

weighted dips behind the back? what are those?
and pushdowns... thats with the triangle attachement on teh high cable machine?

lean_n_76er · 12-09-2002, 09:51 PM

Jeeze, all the good ones are taken!

I'll follow suit and say pressdowns and CG bench!

I just started with the CG's and love em!

Freeman · 12-09-2002, 10:32 PM

I do overhead dumb bell presses...Vgrip pulldowns...

david · 12-09-2002, 11:14 PM

Fav. Major: Close grips bench or Seated overhead ez curl bar

along w/ supersetting on a cable machine

Reverse pulldown, pulldowns and rope pull downs

firestorm · 12-10-2002, 01:12 AM

My favorite are cable pushdowns but they are not the best. Movements such as close grip bench, Skull crushers, weighted dips and D/B or ez bar over head extensions are a few of the best excercises for size and strength.

urso8up · 12-10-2002, 03:38 AM

D/B over head extensions cable pushdowns with rope,weighted dips

firestorm · 12-10-2002, 05:22 PM

D/B overhead Extensions are my second favorite. I do them second on tricep day after Skull Crushers or Close Grip Bench.
HOW MUCH DO YOU ALL USE ON OVERHEAD D/B EXTENSIONS????
I use 110's for 8-10 reps,, but keep in mind like I said it's my second excercise and 110 lb DB's are the heaviest I own.

pureplaya616 · 12-10-2002, 05:22 PM

incline close grip

firestorm · 12-10-2002, 05:24 PM

Incline close grips??? Hummmmm

david · 12-10-2002, 07:15 PM

It probably catches a different angle... sounds very interesting..

I tried decline close grips and they felt pretty good.

firestorm · 12-10-2002, 07:17 PM

I've never tried either.

david · 12-10-2002, 08:07 PM

I think you should give it a whirl!

firestorm · 12-10-2002, 09:08 PM

What differences do you feel exist between flat and decline Dave.

david · 12-10-2002, 10:22 PM

different area's..... of the tri's!!!!

firestorm · 12-10-2002, 10:37 PM

Well I'll give em a try see how they feel.

The Berg Master · 12-11-2002, 12:15 AM

firestorm · 12-11-2002, 12:51 AM
