ATHLEAN-X 90 Day Workout Program: http://athleanx.com/x/tricepsexercises
There are lots of different triceps exercises to choose from when trying to get bigger triceps. Lots of guys will try and target each of the three tricep heads individually by doing exercises that hit the lateral, long and medial portions of the muscle. The problem with this approach is that it goes against what I feel are the requirements of a Top Triceps Exercise, and certainly one you should add to your triceps workout! Namely, the exercises are too specific. What if there was a way to hit all areas of the triceps at once?
In this video I show you a very effective option that combines the nosebreaker with the close grip bench press and diamond pushup! You work the entire triceps muscle and carve out the noticeable horseshoe by blending in each of the movements required to fully activate the muscle.
With components of both elbow extension and shoulder extension, this triceps exercise allows you to get the most bang for your buck, and shorten your workout time in the process. If you need more range of motion on this one, simply use a couple of 45 pound plates on the bar instead of the 25’s that I am demonstrating, as this will give you more room to drop your head and bend your elbows.
It’s no secret that lots of guys obsess about getting bigger arms and building bigger triceps! Why? Because they are noticeable even without ever having to take off your shirt. Unless you plan on wearing long sleeve shirts all year long, there’s not much you can do to hide an underdeveloped pair of arms.
With this tricep exercise option, hopefully you won’t have to worry about it any more. The key is to use the correct form…shown in this Top Triceps Exercise (Add to Your Triceps Workout!) video.
Then, when you’re ready to start following a complete training program that addresses every muscle group and shows you step by step how to apply science to your workouts and get the best results you can, then head to http://athleanx.com and let me be your trainer!

Stop your elbows from popping and snapping during tricep exercises by training like an athlete…
http://athleanx.com/x/no-more-elbow-pain
Elbow pain is extremely common for those lifting weights, and even more so for those doing triceps exercises. The reason is pretty obvious in that the triceps muscle controls elbow extension and flexion concentrically and eccentrically.
If you get a snapping or popping during triceps extensions, dips, or even bench press then you need to watch this video. I show you what is causing this anatomically and more importantly, what you can do to fix this source of elbow pain.
Workout elbow pain is the third most common joint pain felt when working out. Sometimes the elbow may pop without any real associated pain. If this is the case, you will want to continue to monitor to be sure that it doesn’t start hurting you.
Most commonly, the pain in the elbow is felt during flexion of the elbow or movement of the elbow joint through extension and flexion. The cause of this is the instability of the medial head of the triceps that tends to snap back and forth over the medial epicondyle during lifts.
On the bench press or triceps extension, when your elbow moves from a straight to a flexed or bent position, the medial head of the triceps and it’s tendon contribution roll over the bones in the elbow and quickly snap over them. This can create elbow pain during workouts or even elbow popping and discomfort long after the workout.
If you get workout elbow pain you have to pay attention to it. Left unattended, the situation can get worse and start to bother you on more than just your triceps workouts and exercises.
If you want to start fortifying your joints while building serious muscle at the same time, you’ll want to start training like an athlete. Let professional strength coach and physical therapist Jeff Cavaliere show you how with a complete workout system at http://athleanx.com called the ATHLEAN-X system.
