My favorite is Pushdowns, but I think the CG bench and skulls have helped the most.

3 favs - all already mentioned - skullcrushers, close grip bench, and behind-back weighted dips.

 

[Jemal]

weighted dips behind the back? what are those?
and pushdowns... thats with the triangle attachement on teh high cable machine?

 

[lean_n_76er]

Jeeze, all the good ones are taken! I'll follow suit and say pressdowns and CG bench! I just started with the CG's and love em!

 

[Freeman]

I do overhead dumb bell presses...Vgrip pulldowns...

 

[david]

Fav. Major: Close grips bench or Seated overhead ez curl bar

along w/ supersetting on a cable machine

Reverse pulldown, pulldowns and rope pull downs

My favorite are cable pushdowns but they are not the best. Movements such as close grip bench, Skull crushers, weighted dips and D/B or ez bar over head extensions are a few of the best excercises for size and strength.

D/B over head extensions cable pushdowns with rope,weighted dips

 

[firestorm]

D/B overhead Extensions are my second favorite. I do them second on tricep day after Skull Crushers or Close Grip Bench.
HOW MUCH DO YOU ALL USE ON OVERHEAD D/B EXTENSIONS????
I use 110's for 8-10 reps,, but keep in mind like I said it's my second excercise and 110 lb DB's are the heaviest I own.

incline close grip

 

[firestorm]

Incline close grips??? Hummmmm

 

[david]

It probably catches a different angle... sounds very interesting..

I tried decline close grips and they felt pretty good.

 

[firestorm]

I've never tried either.

 

[david]

I think you should give it a whirl!

 

[firestorm]

What differences do you feel exist between flat and decline Dave.

 

[david]

different area's..... of the tri's!!!!

 

[firestorm]

Well I'll give em a try see how they feel.

 

[The Berg Master]

Skulls... like 90 pounds for 8 reps

 

[firestorm]

When I do them 1st, 162 lbs for 6 on last set. (22lb ez bar; 2- 45's, 2-25's
