This exercise targets the most contracted position of the triceps: arms behind the back. Doing pushdowns in this position and squeezing hard will develop the lateral head of the triceps (the outside of the horseshoe).
Taking advantage of the improved muscle fiber activation of bodyweight exercises, this exercise focuses on the stretched position of the triceps. It is extremely effective and can be done almost anywhere. Also included is a special variation that adds in the power of instability training on top of bodyweight movement. The result is an incredible lesson in tension.
This unique exercise will give you an extremely hard contraction in the triceps and take your abs along for the ride! It is simple to execute and works the triceps in their most contracted position.
A breakthrough in tricep contractions, this exercise targets the most contracted position of the muscle with extremely heavy weights. Get ready for a burn because I guarantee you’ve never felt a tricep contraction this hard in your entire life.
If you are looking for a useful exercise for developing side-to-side power in your sports, this exercise fits the bill. It simulates a rowing/paddling movement with resistance.
The instability of the Swiss Ball combined with a close-grip push-up will result in extremely effective tricep-building reps. You can adjust the amount of resistance you place on your triceps by how you set your body position.
