How do you hit the lower part of the tri's?
I am tall, have long arms and have pointy elbows, so naturally my arms don't look big. I have a good "horseshoe" part of the triceps, But i notice what make arms look big is thickness in the lower tri's right above the elbow, which i'm kinda lacking.
do you hit that with close grip bench? or you guys know what else works?
thanks guys (and gals)You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. Dat's why I'm going to kill you lahst.

i find that close grip bench is OK for triceps, but tricep extensions really get me. i also like pushdowns on the cable, if im at a gym.

I like CG bench, dips, skull crushers, behind head extension with dumbell, push downs w/ cable. I find these to work great for me, but you really need to try and mix it up to see what works for you. Mix around some different combos and see which you get the best results from.

Kickbacks are pretty good. Not many people do them it seems, but I think they work well.

I do kickbacks sometimes but they tend to hurt my shoulder I damaged not to long ago. I love what they do to the tri's though. I will be doing them soon b/c gopros routine calls for em heh.

Kickbacks are great to do on the cable machine. Takes the stress off the shoulder and you get a much better contraction I think. Lower the pulley to about waist level (wherever is comfortable for you) remove any atatchment and grip the ball stopper. Bend over at the waist so your parallel to the floor and your arm is straight back and then extend out and squeeze.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I've been doing simultaneous kickbacks now and then, I like them. But the tricep bottom is going to grow with the rest of the outer head.
