    I like doing a pressdown movement, decline skulls, and close grip on smith machine. Good pumps and some good compound movements.

    too many of the same sort of excercise in imo
    warm up with dumbel kick backs 2 sets x 20 reps
    then skull crushers 5 sets
    rope ext 4 sets

    then swap it around do rope ext
    close grip
    with maybe push down if thats what their called with the bar

    well i usually start with 2 sets of cable press downs. as a warm-up

    then i usually do 5-7 sets of dips
    followed by 3-4 sets of skull crushers
    then usually 2-3 sets of kickbacks
    then 2-3 sets of each single arm reverse pressdowns
    then 1-2 sets or caple press downs again.

    thats what i usually do, i switch it up alittle every couple of workouts, i was really curious if SWOLECAT had another awesome workout under his sleeves that he maybe didnt mind telling, like his awesome leg workout. my god was that good!!!!

    A good triceps workout should involve the following for mass…
    I wouldn’t recommend using all of them in one routine,

    Skullkrusher..
    Seated extensions.. (for pre stretch)
    Closes grip bench..(over all mass)
    Dips..
    Pushdown.. (works the tris through its full rang of motion hitting all there heads)

    Ive been doing alot of these most the growth i get is on my outer tris.
    Definatly they work since im seeing growth again, with just a ton of food for fuel, Skull crushers help alot though in the same workout.
