Seated tricep press
Cable pushdowns never did much for my triceps as far as mass but are great for hardness/definition
If you eat right and train dy style you will grow period do some more research please befor you give advice just so your clear befor posting. Genetics play a role at a certain point but we don't know where the op is at currently so the advice I can give is vague based on what he posted, we cannot rule in or out genetics at this point, but it doesn't sound like his genetics have anything to do with this particular situation.Quote:

OP, what are you currently doing?
Are you gaining weight at an acceptable rate? 1-2 lbs per month?
Are you making progress on your lifts in the gym? Is the weight slowly going up?
If you answer no to any of the above then that right there is your problem
Here is what I've been doing for what it's worth. Since I have just started to lift again (early April) I am only doing skullcrushers and pulley pushdowns, Doing 8-10 reps for 3 sets each and when I can get 10 reps on all three sets I increase the weight a bit. I have started to take the last set to failure. On the pulley pushdowns I immediately drop the weight (easy to do on the pulley system) and do more reps to failure and then drop one more time. Even though I've lost ~30# my arms have grown about 3/4 inch most of which has been the tricep.

I don't need more research I have a friend with crazy genetics and he has only worked out for about 6 months now and he looks like he has bin lifting for years and his vascularity is crazy so I have seen this many other times as well I'm not trying to be rude but I have just seen proof of thisQuote:

There is another bar (diff. weight though) that I guess could be set up in advance as long as it's not being used. I pretty much only do the two I mentioned with maybe a few sets of seated dumbbell extensions but I have been doing this for ~8 weeks now and it is probably time to change it up some. Got to keep the body guessing!Quote:

^ OK, thanks bro!
Sorry guys, haven't been on here in a while.
Anyways I have probably gained 3 pounds since I have posted this. I threw in close grip bench press into my routine.
3lbs of tricep mass or 3# total? :p How's the tricep mass doing?Quote:

I like good old cable pulldowns but do drop sets on them. Also I like to take dumbells and turn my palms facing each other and hold the dumbells together during the whole exercise. This is like a super close grip bench so it also works chest slightly but I love it for triceps
