Jun 13, 2010 4:05 PM: Nothing beats body weight exercises. I love these because I messed up my elbow during wrestling practice and other triceps exercises irritate it, these are great whether you're trying to build endurance, or strengthen your triceps. If you need more resistance just set a free weight on your lap.

Jan 6, 2010 7:35 PM: Great way to build the triceps. As a bit of a challenge I add a weight ball under my feet or even my hands, then perform the dip.
