Target back top of triceps

[saudades]

I notice that I'm getting some growth in my stubborn triceps, but I'm finding that I'm getting a lot in the lower part by the elbow and not as much as I'd like in the top part by the shoulder and horseshoe, but especially the top. Are there any good tri exercises that will target that part?

you can try the opposite of a top pulley cable curl...

I experience the same issue. My triceps have always been a weak part on my body. Some of my friends have higher bodyfat yet they have much more definition and mass. Maybe I just have bad genetics. lol. Although tricep strength has never been too much of an issue. Although there is room for improvement of course. Based on my other lifts my triceps should be stronger.

also try doing DC stretches for them....

Straight bar press downs, stopping paralell to the floor and press down.......
the rope works mid to lower the bar will work it up higher using an over hand grip......
I think bench dips(behind your back) will target the upper tri too.
I need to use the rope more cause I'm starting to get out of proportion......

thats funny because I have the opposite problem. Lots of mass on the horseshoe (especially the inside part) but very behind on the smallest tricep head near the elbow.

What exactly do you do for exercises that hit the tricep?

I keep finding that the lower part of the tricep keeps taking over whatever movement I'm trying to do. I need to find a really good isolation exercise to nail that top head if it is at all possible.

One tri exercise that I do that is pretty effective for me is kickbacks.

DC stuff, close grip bench, reverse bench press, and skullcrushers.

Only do the last 1/2 to 2/3rd's of the movement or try a different angle.

Hmmm....I'll try that, thanks!
