TARGET DIFFERENT AREAS

The triceps is a seemingly simple muscle group if you focus only on its basic function: to extend the arm. In fact, it's quite complex, for it has three separate heads and every exercise hits these heads in a different way. For example, I feel pushdowns with a bar mostly in the outer heads, but pushdowns with a rope mostly in the inner heads. Another example, I sometimes do lying extensions with two dumbbells instead of a cambered bar, and I feel these working the lower part of my tris nearest to my elbows. Do a variety of exercises in different ways to exhaust every aspect of your triceps.
