Triceps Pushdown is an isolation exercise which only the triceps are the only muscle involved.

Steps:

Using a high-cable pulley, grasp a short straight bar with an overhand grip (palms down). You can also use an angled bar (V-bar) or a rope for this exercise. Angled bar or a rope will help to reduce any negative pressure on your wrists or elbows.

Triceps Workout (2) – Triceps Dip

Mun — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 08:58:34 +0000

Triceps dip is a compound exercise which triceps are the main muscle involved in addition to chest and shoulders. Dips work all three heads of the triceps muscles at once. The triceps brachii has three heads: the lateral, medial, and long heads.

Often called the “upper body squat,” dips are highly recommended for any bodybuilding program. I regret of not picking this up few years back, but I guess it is never too late to start now.(...)

Triceps Workout (1) – Lying Triceps Press or Skull Crusher

Mun — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:45:47 +0000

I like the lying tricep extension and I have always performed it as the first exercise for my triceps workouts.

Steps:

Sit on a flat bench holding an EZ-Curl bar with an overhand grip (palm facing away from body).
Use a moderate weight for a start.
