Triceps exercises
Extensions, dips and close-grip presses, by head and by equipment.
27 EXERCISES
All exercises
The long head of the triceps only loads well with the shoulder in flexion, which is exactly what separates an overhead extension from a pushdown. Every entry names the equipment — cable, dumbbell, bar or bodyweight — so the exercise survives a change of gym.
