Though it is hard anyway to isolate the heads of the tricep, a compound type will insure complete hitting of the muscle. Examples would be close grip benches, either flat or decline, barbell extension movements, (incline, flat, or decline), dumbbell raises, etc. You can start with something like upper cable pressdowns to get some good blood flowing in there, then move to your compound movements. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Therefore, two of the best movements you can do for your triceps to stimulate growth are close grip bench presses, and weighted dips. -------------- To have talent is to have limits.
