    floor press--like a bench press but lying on floor--take bar down ,rest elbows on floor,pause then press

    rope push--instead of regular push downs get on your knees and take rope over your head and can do them up or out over your head away from you

    over head db--both hands on db push up

    jm press--bar or db
    bar--do like flat bench or nosebreaker but take to chin
    db--take in both hands while lying down and take inward to middle chest and push up

    ive done alot of different tri routines, and none of them compare to this one...it this order:

    nosebreakers - 4 sets - 10,10,10,10
    1 arm overhead extentions - 3 sets - 12, 10, 10
    pulldowns (lil' V-Bar) - 4 sets - 15, 12, 10, 8
    dumbell kickbacks - 3 sets - 10, 10, 10

    and if u wanna completely toast them, do tricep dips with ur hands on a bench and ur feet on another bench, and go as far down as possible..end with that

    try that out, and tell me how it went....good luck!

    Yeah, just different variations of the same exercises. Skull Crushers usin' the 45-bar(close-grip) for me really hits 'em and sores me out for a couple days. I think it may be due to additional stabalizer muscles used since more attention is focused on keeping the bar Balanced throughout the motion. Anywho,....it really hurts.

    I have a problem with my elbow, x-rays and mri's found inconclusive. This restricts me to only certain kinds of tricept exercises
    1. Incline dumbell french press, or seated dips
    2. rope pulldowns, or incline cable pressdowns (can make you want to puke)
    3. one arm cable reverse pressdowns (on 4th set drop sets to failure)
