#Tricep Pulldowns Cable

If you’re trying to grow your triceps, hitting them from different angles really helps. 1. Cross-body cable extension (elbow down) Great for targeting the long head, especially in that shortened position. 2. Cross-body cable extension (elbow up/slightly flared) Shifts a bit more tension toward the lateral head, while still working the long head. Small elbow change, different feel. I like using no attachment (just grabbing the cable or rubber stopper). It gives a smoother range of motion and usually feels easier on the wrists. 3. Single-arm dumbbell overhead extension Awesome for the long head, and you’ll feel the medial head kick in too. Different angles. Full tricep development. Nothing fancy, just smart training. #tricepworkout #upperbodytraining #strengthtraining #musclebuilding #gymeducation

No gatekeeping here! 🤝 Just the 2 moves you need for horseshoe triceps—scripted for your entertainment (and my bad memory). 📝🦾 The Blueprint: 1. Seated Overhead Extensions (Long Head) 2. Triceps Pushdowns (Lateral/Medial Heads) Stability is king, and “intensity” is the name of the game. Let’s get those gains! 🚀🔥 #TricepGains #GymTips #Bodybuilding #FitnessHacks #TricepsWorkout

How to train triceps ANYWHERE! - Your triceps make up around 2/3rds of your arm, so it’s important for you to train them! These three exercises help target the triceps and can be performed almost anywhere!

This is the only triceps guide most people need. Save it. Your triceps have three heads: • Long head → crosses the elbow and shoulder • Medial & lateral head → cross only the elbow So instead of chasing random exercises, train them based on joint function. 1️⃣ Elbow extension (must-have) This trains all three heads. Pick any variation: pushdowns, single-arm cables, machines, etc. 👉 Key rule: elbows locked in, no shoulder movement. 2️⃣ Overhead extension (long head bias) The long head works best when it’s lengthened. Overhead extensions put it in that stretched position. Dumbbell, cable, or machine — all work. (I personally prefer cables for constant tension.) 3️⃣ Pressing pattern (shoulder flexion + elbow extension) Examples: close-grip bench, JM press, dips. Here, the long head contributes less, and the lateral/medial heads take over. ⸻ How to structure your week 👇 Most lifters (recommended): • Pick 2 movements per session • Day 1 → Elbow extension + Overhead extension • Day 2 → Elbow extension + Pressing pattern That’s more than enough for growth. Advanced lifters / weak triceps: • Train triceps at the start of the session • You can include all 3 movements if recovery allows But for most people: ❌ More exercises ≠ more growth ✅ Smart selection + effort = results Train the function. Not your ego. Follow for more simplified training. #tricepworkout #tricepsday #triceps #science #sbl

💪 **Stop only training your triceps one way**… also, sorry about my horrible music editing job. Ha ha. It was weird having silence for all the demos but I failed to find better music 😂 If “triceps” makes you think _rope pressdowns_… you’re missing out on a lot of other variations that can both help with growth as well as just fun diversity. Your triceps have **three heads**, and they don’t all get challenged the same in one movement. So if all you ever do is pressdowns, you’re probably leaving a lot of muscle on the table. Here are some of my favorite triceps exercises that hit each head differently — so you can actually build balanced, strong arms (not just tired elbows 😉). 🎥 Watch the demo at the end and save this for your next arm day! Train smart, be strong.

🚨 This exercise looks “hard”… but it’s barely doing anything. The dumbbell triceps kickback (or extension) is one of the most misunderstood movements in the gym. Not because it’s “bad”… but because physics doesn’t care how it looks. Here’s the science 👇 🧠 Muscle growth depends on resistance where the muscle is working hardest. With a dumbbell, gravity pulls straight down. That means tension is highest when the forearm is vertical, not when the triceps are maximally shortened. So during most of the kickback? 👉 The resistance is minimal 👉 The triceps aren’t challenged where it matters 👉 You feel a burn, but get very little stimulus That’s not hypertrophy. That’s spinning your wheels. ⚙️ Cables fix the resistance profile. They keep tension on the triceps through the entire range of motion, especially in the shortened position where growth potential is highest. This is why one well-chosen cable movement can outperform multiple dumbbell exercises. 🔥 Minimum effective dose > maximum exhaustion. You don’t need 6 triceps exercises. You need 1–2 that actually load the muscle properly. Smarter selection. Better physics. More progress. Less time wasted. If you’re spending hours in the gym but not seeing change, it’s not effort — it’s exercise selection. 👉 Follow for science-based training that respects your time 👉 Comment “SMART” if you want workouts that actually move the needle #sciencebasedfitness #hypertrophy #tricepstraining #gymscience #trainingintelligence progressiveoverload resistanceprofile strengthtraining healthpillars notlazy sustainablefitness workoutsmarter

The triceps pressdown may seem straightforward, but a lot of lifters miss the mark. One of the biggest blunders? Letting your shoulders roll forward or swinging your arms, which takes the focus off your triceps. The fix is easy: keep your upper arms steady, move just at the elbow, and control that weight throughout the entire motion. Remember, it’s not about lifting the heaviest weight; it’s about maintaining tension where it counts—the triceps.

If you’re not lacking tricep growth then skip this video. If you want that horse shoe/croissant 🤌 triceps then watch the video. Nail the execution on this exercise and your triceps will cry 😭, guaranteed (hurts soo good). Tip: Think flexion of the thoracic spine and not extension. #triceps #training #tips #hypertrophy

The triceps are what make your arms look big. One of the largest parts of the triceps is the long head‼️ Apply for my 1:1 Coaching link in bio🔥 #triceps #tricepsworkout

The Triceps muscle is a large, three-headed muscle located on the posterior upper arm, responsible for extending the elbow joint and stabilizing the shoulder. The 3 muscles are long head, medial head and lateral head. One exercise per muscle is enough to hit all 3 heads. Note that targeting one head does NOT mean the other heads arent moving. Choose 3 exercises and do 10/12 reps x 4 sets

The Best Exercise for The Triceps; if I could only pick one ☝️. Essentially, the overhead seems to be the best bang for your buck exercise for all 3 heads. Need further investigation for the triceps though. Check out the maximising vid on triceps for more! Thanks 🙏
