5 Best Triceps Exercises You're NOT Doing!

If you’re looking for the best triceps exercises outside of the ones you’re already doing to build your triceps, then you’ve come to the right place. In this video, I’m going to show you the 5 best triceps exercises you’re not doing right now to help you get bigger triceps and fill your shirt sleeves.

If you have been relying on the close grip bench press to overload your triceps with heavier weights, but it’s still not giving you the tricep size that you’re looking for, then you are going to want to try the PJR Pullover. This exercise will effectively target the long head of the triceps since you are putting them on stretch by getting your arms back behind your head. However, you will be able to use heavier weight thanks to the assistance of the lats during this movement as well as the use of a single dumbbell instead of the having the manipulate two in space.

For those looking for a bodyweight option outside of just continuously doing pushup variations, you are going to want to try the Triceps Trunk Lift. This triceps exercise forces you to get your arms into extension behind your body as you come up off the ground, creating a great overload in the contracted position of the muscle. Most bodyweight triceps exercises, especially pushup variations, won’t have you reaching this level of contraction on the long head of the triceps because they lack the ability to bring the arm into extension. If you don’t have access to any equipment, this is a great option to add to your triceps workout.
