Want Big Horseshoe Triceps?

[Saurus]

Have a look at the pics above.

Which heads of the triceps are smaller, and which parts are you happy with?

ie. In which photo pose do you feel you're lacking?

I use a Dumbell between my legs when I don't have a spotter place halfway from hips to knees and squeeze as hard as possible and it can be uncomfortable . But when you go to take it off just sit on the floor and make sure it doesn't tip on your a'hem.

To train the long head of the triceps; use exercises that involves bringing the elbows away from the sides of the body such as; skull crushers, seated dumbell extension.

To train the Lateral head of the tricep; use pushdowns, and rope pushdowns.

To train the Medial head of the triceps: use reverse grip with a straight bar on pushdowns.

I know what Close grip bench and seated dumbell extensions are but not the rest. Do they involve a machine or something if so thats why. Also THERE are THREE heads to your triceps I only thought there were two maybe thats why they looked weird. Thanks

Move the hands outwards slightly, push the bar up in a controlled movement and hold the contraction at the top

Sir thanks 4 the reply but one more question I want to ask that Is is a good exercise to make triceps??
