its an okay tricep workout but, when you do mediuum grip bench press you work your triceps as well. i like to do bench dips and skull crushers instead.

Excellent for adding mass. Surprised it's rated so low. I consider it a top three for triceps.

Best exercise for tricep mass IMO. Keep hands shoulder width apart and keep your elbows tucked in.

Can mess up your joints putting tension on them without the normal body movement. Bp your grip should be natural. dont see the need for this excercise.

Great for building the triceps no matter amount of reps, or weight put on. They Key to this exercise is to place hands shoulder length apart, and DO NOT HAVE ELBOWS OUT. Big no no. Instead tuck elbows in, so as when your in the negative your elbow brush your sides when going down, then push up focusing...+See More
Great for building the triceps no matter amount of reps, or weight put on. They Key to this exercise is to place hands shoulder length apart, and DO NOT HAVE ELBOWS OUT. Big no no. Instead tuck elbows in, so as when your in the negative your elbow brush your sides when going down, then push up focusing just the triceps, it isolates the top head and side part of the tricep. Suggest doing tri's on shoulder days, they work the front head(anterior delt) of the shoulder. Great combo, shoulders, chest, and triceps in one session. Never do triceps and bi's same day. Wont make any gains when you do shoulder/chest days. Defeats the purpose. Incorporate this as a must into your triceps routine.
Note- Also do these on decline, and incline.
Also: If you go heavy, Beware of the wrist factor. Buy wrist wraps, AND have a reliable spotter. If you have pitcher's elbow, then do them occasionally. -See Less
