And do that ALL in one workout!!

**Prince** · 11-30-2001, 09:52 AM

One of my new favorites, one arm, cable push-downs!

**gopro** · 11-30-2001, 06:01 PM

Prince...did you get that from me? Anyway, try this...reverse grip one arm pushdown to failure...immediately flip your hand over to regular pushdown grip (no rest) and continue to failure...you will be able to extend the set another 3-4 reps...OUCH

SKULLCRUSHERS!

**fitness4life** · 03-18-2002, 02:11 AM

I like skullcrushers on a slight decline bench.

Same here, I've also found using a reverse grip when doing Tri work helps hit them better to.

**Miss LeDix** · 03-19-2002, 05:01 PM

What about tricep kickbacks? Skullcrushers are also very good.

**Skyliner** · 03-19-2002, 07:26 PM

Kickbacks: Description

Remember to use a weight light enough to ensure proper form

**bigtom422** · 03-19-2002, 11:54 PM

quick question, when i do kickbacks, I feel it in my back alot. do you still think that it is good if you feel it in your back alot??

**kuso** · 03-20-2002, 12:58 AM

Personal opinion on kickbacks is that it won`t really help build mass all that much.

You should not feel it in your back...you may be using too much weight!

I agree!!

**Robboe** · 03-20-2002, 10:21 AM

Me too.

if i don't do seated skulls i go CGBP or pressdowns.

That's about it. I only one of them too. 2 sets.

**Bob Bob** · 03-20-2002, 12:20 PM

nosebreakers

**gopro** · 03-20-2002, 04:23 PM

Its funny...I get nothing out of flat nosebreakers/skull crushers...never did! But if I do them on an incline and lower the bar/dumbell behind my head, damn I feel that!

**Prince** · 03-20-2002, 04:26 PM

this is a old thread 11-30-01

just an observation I made.

Yes. if you re-read my post you'll see i said seated skulls. I don;t use incline bench tho (being anti-incline and all that lol) but i use a low back seat. They really are the tits.

**bubbasr** · 03-21-2002, 12:57 AM

Push downs with straight bar, overhead dumbell extension
very heavy, rope push downs.

Ok, calm down TCD...I was just saying in general that I don't like regular skull crushers. Many people swear by them...and I have my clients do them. I just don't feel them. I like the seated version as you do, but my fav is on an incline. I guess they are the "tits" for me, lol.

**Scotty the Body** · 03-23-2002, 01:24 PM

So you guys do them on an incline bench as an overhead extension? I normally do them on a decline bench behind the head. I'll have to try your way some time.

Yes, this position strongly stresses the long head of the triceps...well, on me anyway...on TCD it will stress the whole tricep equally.

**Robboe** · 03-24-2002, 08:31 AM

haha i wasn;t busting ya balls man, just pointing it out

Oh, and yes, i do them for the whole tricep. With triceps i do believe you can stress one head more than another, but i don;t believe you can cause growth in one area alone.

Ok, you DO believe that you can stress one head more than another, right? So, although you will still be causing a growth response in the whole tricep, don't you think you may be causing more of a growth response in the "more stressed" head?

hmmm....when you train a muscle you're causing "micro-tears" which get repaired, and "hopefully" the muscle rebuilds a little bit bigger each time.
So, if you can stress one tricep head more than another, and ultimately cause more trauma to that part of the muscle, why wouldn't it ultimately have more growth? (and I am not being sarcastic)
