Are you talking about the head right by your armpit, or your elbow?

skull crushers if your elbows can take it, i suppose. but ya dips and close grip bench ought to be the foundation.

I think your genes are what you need to worry about. You can dip and dip until the cows come home. But, in the end, it is your genes that will determine how much your lower tri heads develop. I mean, isolating a muscle is one thing but, isolating a particular area of the muscle to try to spur growth in that area? I dunno about that...

Somebody correct me if im wrong.

You can emphasize different heads of the tricep, but I think you're right, ultimately your genetics are going to determine the development of the individual heads to a larger degree than training. So, you might have some influence based on exercise selection, but it's hard to say exactly how much.

"Not isolate."

Id like to know which exercises emphasize which parts of the triceps.

what kinds of exercises emphasize the top?

Overhead movements, or movements where you should is flexed (Arms up in the air) allow for more effective recruitment of the long head of your triceps. Movements where your shoulder are extended (Arms by your sides or behind you) cause the long head of your triceps to enter active insufficiency, so the other two heads take more of a beating.
