Skullcrusher variations for triceps growth: ez bar skullcrusher ( flat, decline, incline) barbell skullcrusher. dumbbell skullcrusher. band skullcrusher. behind the head skullcrusher. in your workout: after warming up your elbows, perform 3 4 sets for 8 12 reps as the first or second exercise in your routine. Moves that put emphasis on medial head. stick any of these into your triceps routine to add more medial head work: reverse grip barbell bench press: 3 4 sets of 8 reps, 60 90 sec. rest. reverse grip cable press down: 3 sets of 8 12 reps, 60 sec. rest; this can be done bilaterally or one arm at a time.

The 3 parts of the triceps are the medial head, lateral head and the long head. you can specifically target certain parts of the triceps through your exercise selection. however, the best tricep exercises for mass are ones that recruit all 3 heads. all 3 heads of the triceps are recruited when you’re using a heavy load. Now while keeping your upper arm perpendicular to the ground, lower a barbell or dumbbells towards you head (hence skull crusher). once you reach you head, extend your arms back you to the starting position. 5. overhead extensions: overhead extensions are about the only true stretch position movement for the triceps. Make it easier: try this move one arm at a time if you have inflexible shoulders. you can also do it seated if necessary. make it harder: try one and a half reps to emphasize the stretched. From the outset, as shown in this study by hughes et al. we can see that, similar to the biceps, the triceps are composed of around 67% type ii muscle fibers. these are best stimulated by using heavy weight. and in fact, this study by newton et al. showed that each jump in relative load going from 30% 100% of 1 rep max resulted in more tricep.

Place both feet flat on the floor and tense your abs as you stabilize the weight in a locked out position. bend at your elbows to lower the weight towards your forehead. keep your elbows stationary while reducing the weight. straighten your arms to lock the weight above your head.
