Tricep Q

[IrishMonk]

Just wondering what exercise is best for building whatever that muscle is to the rear of the tricep... ( or is that just part of the tricep ? )

you know how some ppl have that main tricep muscle built up... but others will have the rear portion built up aswell giving them that 'horse shoe' shaped triceps.

Is that just genetics, or can that be targeted ?

 

[IrishMonk]

okay... plz ignore the above. it's called the triceps long head, as opposed to the lateral head. How would I target that ? Thnx...

 

[IslandGirl]

I think you are talking about the long head which is the largest part of the tricep. Anything overhead like 2 arm-db extensions, lying ez extensions (skull crushers or french press).

everyone has the horseshoe in the triceps except that most don't have sufficient muscle there or low enough body fat for it to be very pronounced.

for the most part you really can't target part of a muscle as mucles either contract as a whole or not at all. in terms of bodybuilding/sculpting, etc. all you can do is to hit the muscle(s) from a variety of angles with different rep ranges and loads to stimulate them. remember that exercise only provides the necessary stimulus for growth the diet ultimate determines the size of the muscles

@ gtopont: The OP started this thread for some help, and your turning it into a f**king political talk show rant. Just help the OP and practice your audition for "Meet the Press" on your own thread.

You're talking all of that shit and then you go on about the longest rant about politics I think I've ever seen on this forum, barring something I might have seen in the Anything Goes forum.

[Gissurjon]

I recently discovered an actual use for the Smith machine (I mean, other than "towel rack"): decline close-grip bench. Hit my tris and didn't destroy my shoulder.

But if you can do 'em without pain, definitely dips.
