The lying triceps extension is a great way to build mass for the triceps. It allows you to use heavier weight to overload the triceps muscle. It hits all three triceps heads including the lateral head, long head, and medial head. In this exercise demonstration, I use the EZ-Curl bar. Why? Because the EZ-Curl bar puts your hand position at a slight pronated position which relieves stress on the wrist while providing more focus on the lateral head. The long head of the triceps provides more mass for the back of the arm. To perform this exercise, lay back on the bench with your arms perpendicular to your chest. Lower the barbell to your forehead and extend back up using your triceps to move the weight. You can increase the intensity and focus on the long head of the triceps by moving your arm position, extending the arms farther over the head, allowing the bar to go above your head. With the arms extended farther back it allows for consistent gravity throughout the full range of the motion. The farther you extend your arms the more stretching that is applied on the long head resulting on a movement more focused on the long head of the triceps which provides the most mass to the back of the arm. | JYM Supplement Science | ► Pro JYM: https://bbcom.me/2AxPGZ9 ► Pre JYM: https://bbcom.me/2AwuKle ► Post JYM Active Matrix: https://bbcom.me/2AtILAa ► Post JYM Carb: https://bbcom.me/2AxPR6L ► Mass JYM: https://bbcom.me/2Au5agE ► Vita JYM: https://bbcom.me/2Au5b4c ► Omega JYM: https://bbcom.me/2Ap2TUb ► Shred JYM: https://bbcom.me/2Ap34ij ► Alpha JYM: https://bbcom.me/2AwLXv4 ► ZMA JYM: https://bbcom.me/2Awg0Db | Follow Jim Stoppani | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/2D4MlPE ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JimStoppaniPhD/ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimstoppani/ ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/JimStoppani #JYMArmy #triceps #ArmWorkout #Fitness #Strength #Bodybuilding #JimStoppani #Muscle #Gains ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

You've spent hours doing curls, now it's time to build triceps to match. "Quad Guy" Julian Smith shows you everything you need to effectively target your triceps for definition and growth! ► Get the Full Sets & Reps for this Workout: https://bbcom.me/2REf9aZ ► BodyFit Training Programs: https://bbcom.me/2NMnB74 ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2TJki4r ► Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2DK5lGD Team Optimum Nutrition athlete Julian Smith has a killer triceps workout to round out your T-shirt game and bring the back of your arms up to speed. A guy known for his insane quad sweeps and ability to build well-defined muscle all over, Smith is one guy to listen to for muscle-building tips. "This workout covers all the exercises I like doing for triceps," explains Smith. "During the workout, make sure your muscles are doing all of the work, not just moving as much weight as possible." Smith is a big fan of slow and controlled negatives and getting as much out of every exercise as possible. Take this triceps workout for a spin and you'll see—this is one sleeve-splitting workout you'll want to keep! | Wide-Grip Skullcrushers | "Going wide with your elbows tucked in puts the emphasis on the long head of the triceps," Smith explains. "The long head is a part of the muscle most people neglect." With a compound movement like skullcrushers, the tendency is to go fast and explosive, but, according to Smith, that may not be the best way to build muscle. Keep your reps slow and controlled, making sure you have good form the entire time. Make sure you're in control of the weight and not letting the weight control you. | Wide-Grip Triceps Push-Down | Go wide on the grip for the push-down to keep the emphasis in the long head of the triceps. Keep your elbows tucked in, and pause slightly at the bottom during the full contraction to really make those triceps burn. "When you do extensions like this on a cable, you're going to be able to put the full tension of the weight in the muscle at the bottom of each rep," says Smith. Extending the time under tension in this way helps build muscle and, as fans of Smith know, it doesn't require super-heavy weight to be effective. "I like to slow down and get the most out of each exercise," says Smith. "It's about slowing things down, not really focusing on how much weight you're doing, but instead paying attention to the full contraction and the full negative." | Dumbbell Overhead Extension | For the overhead extension, you're still going slow and controlled, but with explosive positives. Focus on form, no matter what. "One thing to focus on with this exercise is actually getting your triceps to do the work," says Smith. "I know a lot of people who just go through the motion and feel the burn somewhere else—in their traps or their rear delts." Whichever muscle you're working on should be the only muscle that burns because it should be doing all of the work. As you're performing each of these exercises, focus on the triceps. Focus on the stretch as you bend your elbows back each time and the contraction in the triceps as you extend. | Bodyweight Triceps Extensions | Just like push-ups and pull-ups, Smith prefers to work to failure on this exercise since it's bodyweight work. This movement is going to be different for everyone since we're all built a little differently—some of us have longer length in our arms compared to others. "You want to tinker with the form to make sure you're in a position that's going to work best for you," suggests Smith. Get into a 90-degree angle with your arms when you're in the starting position on the floor, and as you press up, make sure you're contracting with the triceps. You might be a little too far back if you're feeling too much pressure in the shoulders or the wrists," says Smith, "When you have perfect form, you'll only feel it in the triceps." If you can't do a full bodyweight triceps extension, drop your knees down to the floor. This will take a big load off your arms and allow you to work your way up to the more advanced version of the exercise. Work on form first, and make sure you're getting the best contraction possible. ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.
