This Is How You Build MASSIVE TRICEPS Fast! 

Literally any tricep excersize gives only my left elbow joint pain. I just did tris yesterday and my left elbow joint is inflamed righr now. I was hoping that it wouldd go away as my left got stronger, cause my right is stronger right now. I've been having an issue cause when i do presses my left tricep doesnt fkn kick in no matter how hard i try to focus on it. The focus i put on it also throws me off and still doesnt even work. I believe it is possibly because of mobility issues and training through it causing more imbalance. Ima go get chiropractic work done for the first time hopefully that works.

@@user-xi9mc2uu8n try to work your biceps before triceps and try to strenghten your forearms also high rep band pushdowns 30 reps plus

That doesn't tell you what the best exercise is, it just tells you ones to avoid.

So just stay in bed then, yeah?

@@themasterothman bands for triceps are flawed. Resistance increases as your triceps are shortening and becoming mechanically weaker. Therefore the resistance and strength profiles are mismatched. Using a cable and knowing where to position for the correct angle is vastly better.

Diamonds pop em

Dips are too hard on my shoulders. I prefer bench dips, much safer.

@@bbginc694 bench dips are far more dangerous but there is just a lighter load on your shoulders that’s why it feels safer. Sean Nalewanyj talked about this.

@@CatholicGroyper not true lul Watch athlean x, if you do bench dips with hands facing outwards you’re not straining your shoulders

@@Jafs athlean x 🤣🤣🤣🙈

Heaving to go heavy to grow is a myth

@@kzumazuml Intensity is part of the equation my man

I second pin press, crazy lateral head blaster. It did more wonder than close grip bench for me

@@kzumazuml not for when you cant grow a body part, sometimes it may be necessary

@@kzumazuml not always true. if you double your squat weight with no change in form or any other variable, tell me you won’t gain more muscle mass. obviously you don’t have to, but it’s an important and necessary part of it

I do them on rings but anyway you do them works great.

Now try that with a 78" wing span and shallow rib cage. Suddenly, not so pure or simple after all.

@@krane15 underrated comment this area of training has not been addressed for chimpanzees like us lol

@@krane15 yo you need to buy some parallel bars you could even put them on benches to get elevation or just use benches for dips

Can’t you injure ur shoulders with dips tho

This is very silly advice if a beginner was to watch this. Close grip and dips for a beginner, for triceps, is a recipe for disaster and also a huge waste of time. Mind muscle connection should be preached first and foremost

You need to watch more fitness videos then.

@@deezelkane i disagree. A beginner can put on the most muscle doing compound movements.

@@beardy7124 this video isn’t about building your chest and back is it ?? This is specific to arm training- dips and close grip bench are an intermediate lift if you want to target triceps. You must not workout to be agreeing with this nonsese

​@@richardsamson7117 what's that supposed to mean lol

How many weekly sets per exercises?

Shhhhhhhh don't spill the secret 👀👀👀 dips are superior then bench.

It's always the stories from 80s or 90s

Its because of proper fatigue management.

Other factors can change the equation Like diet and genetics

Fucking PREACH it. I started doing that after Athlean X declared it the "best" tricep workout. I consider my self a hard gainer but my triceps are actually growing with this one.

@@zackwhite5959 first mistake is watching athlean x

@@morganfreeman8230 athleanx isn't even that bad, 90% to 95% of his advice is solid

Agreed I go heavy on compounds, then finish with lying extensions nothing pumps my triceps better.

@@morganfreeman8230🙄

Same. The douge Brignole tricep technique works pretty good

pumps don’t mean growth

@@internetuser9342 tell that to the pump chasers that gained size with pumps

@@internetuser9342 how long have you been working out ?

@@internetuser9342 A lot of time pumps result in growth but not much strength gains

Here's the thing about dips: They are a COMPOUND movement, not an isolation exercise. For that reason, my chest but mostly my shoulders EXPLODE with dips. I can target the triceps with them on a narrow dip, but if the dip is a standard width, it's pure shoulders & chest for me bro

You can fire up your triceps on dips more by going to lock out. If you're barely going back up then it's more chest. But, as the guy above me said, dips activate a lot of muscles, even in the core when you get to weight them.

Dips done with a closer grip and a straight posture will hit the tri’s. Wider grip leaning forward hits the chest. Close grips … keep elbows in and hands slightly closer. Remember that pushing exercise puts on more mass than hinged.

id say superset it skullcrushers to failure and then close grip bench w an ez bar is killer

Why incline

@@untitled6391 longer range of motion, cant arch your back or use leg drive so its more upper body dominant and less cheating or technicality involved. It puts your shoulders in a safer position so it doesnt beat them up like flat bench, it targets the upper pecs which 90% of men are lacking aesthetically. It hits alot of delt which i like aesthetically aswell.

@@davidverdugo6266 cool thanks

@@untitled6391 no problem, im not saying my way is perfect, its just worked well for me and those are my reasons for using incline bench instead of flat bench.

No flat bench variation?

How heavy dumbbells did you use for overhead tri extensions

@@brandonhernandez9260 I start off with 15lbs and warm up for 3 sets of 15 then do one set of 12 reps with 30s and then do 4 working sets 8-10 with 45lbs then always a drop set on my final set I focus on slow controlled movements specifically and getting a good stretch and yeah they've really blown up I start with heavier 8-10 reps then end with high 15-20+ reps to really squeeze some blood into the muscle after tearing it down with heavier weights. I never go below 8 reps tho. Bad for elbows and my form goes out the window and you don't need to lift THaT heavy for triceps

@@jgoldian47 ah ok I see. Im assuming you do the single arm extensions? You use dumbbell with both hands instead of working 1 tricep at a time correct?

@@brandonhernandez9260 I do both honestly Just depends

Because they are not that good Especially compared to loaded close grip bench press.

Nah stretching exercises. Close grip overtated.

Diamonds are a beautiful, bodyweight compound.

Pushups require a certain strength many people avoid

Bro what? No, if u feel ur lats, forearms, u doing something wrong. Maybe the abs can work to stable u.

@@Elp-ql7tt Feel it in a good way. Nothing like a strong grip and forearms to help stabilize. Hip work in all directions is underrated. This for general support for the compound exercises to keep what one has and minimize injuries. No going backwards, saves time and effort.

Consistency in your training and diet along with mind to muscle connection will get you better gains than over complicating every workout. Keep it going buddy it’s great for the mind.

Seen cbum doing it and I tried. Great pump

Thats strong? Lol

For close grip for reps and good form , yes it is

@@bbginc694thank you lol someone gotta take trash 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

It is always about genetics. That's biologically as well as anatomically.

I don't care who you are. Unless you are using drugs you will not grow your triceps with just doing press downs. Overhead extensions, close grip benching, dips, as your compounds. Skull crushers, press downs, and kick backs as your isolation exercises. Volume has a lot to do with it as well so don't be afraid to add 3 sets more just for triceps. As well as using progressive overload.

…. you want to beat?….

@@bobmac9070 You want to Beat ?. What are you saying ?.

@@72Dexter72Manley72 what I’m saying is that pros like Jay Cutler, Dorian Yates, Roelly Winklar, and others use the Tricep Press Downs as a main full around Tricep builder! It covers the entire Tricep, all three heads!!! Just watch there videos. If anyone had to pick and use one exercise to develop the Tricep it would be press downs. I have used it my entire life and have great “full” horse triceps. Using the rope or bar can hit different angles.

rope is a poor choice, as explained in my post at the very top. And my explanation contains the reason that you realise longer ropes are better than shorter ropes (there's less spreading apart, relative to the actual line of resistance).

@@BodyOpt DOES NOT COMPUTE. ONLY EXERCISES THAT ARE OPTIMAL MAY BE PERFORMED>> ELIMINATE >> ELIMINATE

@@roebuckmckinney not sure what you're on about dude. You can't argue with physics just because you know what caps lock is. Using a rope unilaterally is fine. Using it bilaterally means you have to spread apart. The spreading action means you are no longer ALIGNED: that part of your outward effort is not opposing the line of resistance. It is wasted effort, and only gets worse the more you spread. That's WHY it feels so hard, but it's not as efficient or effective. That's why you cannot use the same load with a rope vs a bar. The return on your effort is much lower. You need the resistance to DROP OFF at the bottom, not INCREASE! If you don't know anything about muscle mechanics or resistance mechanics, that's fine. But you're obviously devoted if you are reading this and watching Mind Pump. And I recognise that. Please keep an open mind and go to personal training.com on RU-vid. Tom Purvis, he's the guy who taught me since 2014 and it's changed my life. If a trainer doesn't know the physics, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Training is about anatomy and physics. Very few have a grasp of the latter. I appreciate I may sound dismissive but I already spent 2000-2014 learning from many other "experts" until I realised they're all full of crap.

I have that long black rope. I saw John Meadows use one. I searched and I think it was a seller on Amazon where I got it.

Usually I recommend my clients add load or instability to an exercise once they can do at least 8 controlled, full range of motion reps. So you’re probably ready to add a little extra weight, assuming your form is correct.

Like ASAP... Its huge difference just try it. Body used to your weight shock it with some weight If you can do 15 slow reps 4 sets you are strong for weight

@@spencergsmith Thank you

@@strahinjaboskovic305 Thank you, I'll give it a shot.

@@Soul27StarChild interesting, did you miss the part where I said "CONTROLLED, full range of motion" repetitions? I train many athletes, and this is perfectly sound training advice. Show me 8-12 reps of bodyweight movement with control through a full range of motion and sound mechanics, and barring some sort of traumatic injury in your history, it's perfectly fine to add load. Sorry, "dude"

At one point I was only doing weighted chins and dips.Puffed up on just two upper body exercises.

That's why cycling different types of training is necessary.
