6 BEST Triceps Exercises (ANATOMY BASED)

From the creator

When it comes to choosing tricep exercises, there are many to choose from. In this video, I am going to give you the top 6, or as I like to call them, the Super 6 exercises to build your triceps. To make these selections, we first need to dive into the anatomy of the triceps and their function. 60% off all AX programs - http://athleanx.com/x/113-workouts Subscribe to this channel here - http://youtube.com/user/jdcav24 We know that all 3 heads of the triceps cross the elbow in order to provide extension at the elbow. However, the long head attaches to the scapula as opposed to the upper arm, which means that it’s level of stretch and contraction differ from the medial and lateral heads of the triceps. In the case of the long head, to reach full stretch, the arms must be raised overhead while peak contraction is gained by extending the arm back behind the body. In order to optimally build the triceps, the 6 exercises that I chose were based on placing all 3 heads of the triceps into peak contraction, full stretch, and the ability to provide progressive overload. ======================== 1. Triceps Rocking Pushdown ======================== I love this modified triceps exercises because it allows for peak contraction of the long head while maintaining the optimal line of resistance that you might otherwise be missing when doing traditional tricep rope pushdowns. By rocking backwards while simultaneously pushing the rope down, you are able to keep the cable (line of resistance
