Reply With QuoteMaybe your left arm is weaker so other muscles are compensating for the weakness, taking more stress off the tricep.
I've never heard of a "heart-shaped grip".

IMO use 1 DB but alternate arms. For instance, 2x12, do 12 rep's with right, then left, then right, then left. Or, do skullcrushers.

Or dips/weighted dips.
Ive actually had good gains from weighted push-ups with a tricep-focused hand position.
And skullcrushers, yes. Theyre great.http://www.getlifting.info

u must also do direct work for triceps dips s not enough though i agree they will help u a lot in the begining but son u will need direct work to keep progress...begin with cable push downs ...starting with skull crushers if u are a beginner is not a good idea because they need high concentration and strict form .......then begin using db's and bb ......that's my opinion ....and good luck
