'upper' tricep development

[kelkel]

Full range of motion exercises. Basically as your arms move up your body you are stretching the tricep more. Try seated over-head EZ-Curl bar extensions as well as single-arm dumbell over-head extensions or any variety thereof.

Actually, this is what I've been focusing on as of late. With both one and two arm dumbbell french presses, I've really focused on the stretch, allowing the dumbbell to touch behind me, then bringing it back up just before lockout.

Try seated over-head EZ-Curl bar extensions as well as single-arm dumbell over-head extensions or any variety thereof.

Unfortunately, I had to give up all barbell tricep exercises - which sucks, because I think they can be great mass builders. I have a nagging injury, I might have even talked with you briefly about it, can't remember - but it runs all along the forearm and feels very much like shin splints. It's brutal, and I've narrowed it down to any exercise that keeps my arms locked in a plane, such as with a barbell. Can't do barbell curls either, except for preachers oddly enough.

I think the single arm you mentioned above is the same as the french press i'm already doing..??
