For triceps... (nosebreakers??)

[JerzeyBoy]

for triceps...

My training log consist of

1: Dips
2: Tricep Pushdowns
3: Nosebreakers

I could never get the proper form of nosebreakers so I think I'm gonna change it... Should I? I'm trying to build mega mega mega mass

Are nosebreakers another name for skullcrushers?

Whats the rep and set breakdown.
I personally dont think 3 excercise is enough. I would move dips last to really fry the tri's.

What about close grip bench and Tate Press?

that's what i was gonna ask and i'm assuming that's what he means. movements that have put the most mass on my tri's have without a doubt been close grip benches and weighted dips. i go heavy and strict but do what i need to do to get a couple more reps. scullcrushers are also great and i always do them on a decline bench because it just feels like you get more range.

[Njectable]

ya should definately do close grip bench

Yes ...they are the same....why dont you try a nose breaker close grip bench superset...start off doing the nose breakers and go to failure and immediately start pressing the weight...your tri's will be on fire.

what is a tate press never heard of them

[Rictor33]

The super-set of skullies then close grip or close-grip pushups (I actually prefer these now)

[helium3]

french press(lying down)is better than the skullcrusher/nose breaker you can use more weight and stretch the tricep fully.

[drpza333]

yes nose breakers 2 failure then press the weight.flex tri s at the top.

[audis4]

french press(lying down)is better than the skullcrusher/nose breaker you can use more weight and stretch the tricep fully.

Is that where you lie flat on your back and keep your tri's perpendicular to your chest and move your forearm to your forehead? I don't really know all the names of exercises.

[helium3]

yes lie down and keep the arms perpendicular ,bring the bar( i prefer dumbell) back and over your head stretch the tricep and back up,very similar to a pullover.i bring the dumbell down like a press at the end.
this as added loads of mass to my tricep,all within 6 months.

like this but i let the bar go down past my head.

[audis4]

ya thats what i was thinking then

[Laxplayer181]

I feel skullcrushers give my triceps the best possible workout. I'll usually rep till I feel I'm near failure, then I start going 1/4 of the way down and then back up, same with a 1/2, then a full one and call that 1 rep. It works out great.

I've tried that in my program and this exercise is soooooo damn hard on the tricep... wooooooooow I've never felt a pump like that in the whole tricep!

The guy at the gym went to me and tell me that I'm not doing the exercise well because I was supposed to get down to my nose .... but I told him that he was sooooo wrong!!!!!!!

Thanks alot Helium3!!!!!!!!!!!

That exercise is a keeper for my training!

[helium3]

glad to be of help friend.

my inner tricep exploded into growth after doing these regularly,i use dumbells to do mine,i just find it puts less stress on the wrist.also when i bring the dumbell back up over my head i bring it down to my chest,like a press movement,this nails it for me,adding extra stress on the muscle.

[DemonInside]

i find inclined french presses work the best for me i can do super heavy and it leaves the tri's sore for a few days.

all this is def good stuff
