BEST TRICEP LONG HEAD EXERCISE

[AndrogenicJB]

Need a good tricep long head mass builder that you can really feel, skullcrushers dont really do it for me anymore, overloading with more weight becomes a nuisance on the exercise. Anyone have any good suggestions apart from skullcrushers and behind the head dumbell extensions.

Overhead cable extension.

Lying behind the head tricep extension with an EZ curl bar. Nothing else ever worked for me personally

this is the only video I could find that demonstrates but I found it was much better with an ez curl bar

also high rep incline close grip bench

Heavy dips and close grip press builds the most overall mass. To isolate the long head, French press, pullovers and kickbacks hammer mine.

You mean dumbell pullovers?

I'm not a bodybuilder bro but I found dips and overhead / handstand presses had a good effect on triceps development. Explosively throwing a basketball / heavier medicine ball is good too.

You mean dumbell pullovers?

More so a pullover machine or rope pullover where your elbows finish behind your back. Dumbbell pullover where you arms finish in front of your body won’t really do it.

Behind the neck dumbbell extensions. I usually just use one big dumbbell and alternate dominant hands. Blows my tris up like nothing else.

Larry Scott (first mr Olympia) had a great long head cable isolation that gave a great deep stretch on the long head. YouTube it.

Also I’ve recently been using the bicep curl isolation machine (terrible exercise) but using it backwards so it isolates the tricep longhead. Rest your forehead on the pad where you would usually rest your armpit on for the bicep curl machine. You can’t use much weight on this due to the setup, but great for a finishing exercise after some of the heavier compound exercises mentioned above.

Heavy weighted dips grow my triceps better than anything, although this isn't exactly a long head exercise.
