Why are you neglecting your tris, anon?

Are dips really enough bros?
If you want to neglect the tri's largest head, sure.
Otherwise you spam overhead cable extensions.
i like doin skull crushers with ez bar, i go fairly light but feel like I could go heavier
i just do 10 sets of triceps pushdowns to failure
I don’t get why people neglect arms in general
>But the lats/pecs are the primary mover though!
Yeah and your arms are the lever that connects your primary mover to the fricking weight/bar??? Why would they be less important?
I agree, I would say it's more important to at least do curls though. The biceps don't get hit as much from pulling as the triceps do from pushing. I feel my triceps get hit pretty hard from doing slow dips after benching. Doing Lte's after my pressing just feels like too much on my elbows after a couple workouts
I'm not. Extensions are my jam
I just do dips and hope that it's enough
I thought they were bigger than they actually were because I had a lot of fat around them. I wish I started isolating them properly sooner.
fatfrick here, I'm there now, thanks for the heads-up.
i do extensions, rope pulldowns, and skull crushers
is it enough, bros?
absolutely

Any triceps isolation exercise expect French press gives me golfers elbow, so no thanks.
>golfers elbow
HOW DO YOU FIX THIS SHIT? I haven't done pull ups in a month and I miss it so much it hurts. Anon please, I desire a cure to this hellish curse
Finger flexion and extension, wrist curls, reverse curls.
Any pain in the forearms and elbows is caused by weak forearms.
Since you said the pain is bad start with very light weights focusing on keeping a slow controlled form and do high reps.
Meanwhile do Australian rows as tolerable, if the pain is 4/10 or less you can work through pain as long as it does get worse, if the pain doesn't really go down but you can still get your workout in and progress that's also fine because then more load is needed to cause the same pain.
Thanks anon. Will give these a try
>expect French press gives me golfers elbow
That's because you have weak forearms, do you wrist curls homie.
Stop blaming exercise and find the root cause.
Does strengthening forearms cure the gimpy elbow? What exercises and weight breakpoint do I need to hit?
I used to do a twist in hammer curl for forearms but stopped when the elbow was at its worst
Most of the time it will, there's no specific numbers you need to hit see
As long as you get better with wrist curls and pain doesn't increase you are good.
Nvm It's not Golfers or Tennis elbow.
I always have the pain on the outside of the elbow where triceps tendon ends, not on the inside of my arm.
The same advice applies for golfer or tennis elbow.
It's neither golfers or tennis.
I have this pain in my left elbow where the Ulnar Nerve is pinched by the bone, if I don't crack it, I can't extent my arm without pain.
And doing full range triceps extensions hurt that area even more.
Have you tried ulnar nerve glides and stretches? What you're talking about is something you definitely want to get fixed
All I can tell you that I have to pop my elbow before extending it or I have pain shooting from my elbow up to my hand and doing too much triceps works where I extend my arm too much for a long time period amplifies it. It's probably Cubital tunnel syndrome
>While most cases of injury are minor and resolve spontaneously with time, chronic compression or repetitive trauma may cause more persistent problems. Commonly cited scenarios include:
>Sleeping with the arm folded behind neck, elbows bent.
>Pressing the elbows upon the arms of a chair while typing.
>Resting or bracing the elbow on the arm rest of a vehicle.
>Bench pressing.
>Intense exercising and strain involving the elbow.

what are the best tricep exercises?
I do tricep push down on leg day. Do I need more?
This is one of the GOAT exercises
?feature=shared
>Works the whole tricep
>Works your serratus
>Works your chest (it's perfect as a finisher exercise on chest day)
>Deep weighted stretch on your lats/shoulders. Improves shoulder mobility.
>Just feels great in general
Please no (you)s from anti-pullover "optimal lifter" b***h boys.
For lats this is fine but for triceps do skull crushers.
I've been doing skullcrushers and kickbacks for my triceps and they seem to be growing just fine.
>never isolate triceps enough
moron
