Are skull crushers enough to hit all 3 of the tricep heads? I don't have access to a gym and do workouts from home with a bench and dumbbells, do I also need to add behind the head tricep extensions or is this exercise enough
>>76670559Results should inform your process more than theory if you're working with limited equipment.Today test 2 tricep isolations for the 2 one for long head and one for lateral head. Medial head is a joke it the front delt of the tricep almost never underworked.After 6-8 weeks of db pullover only retest and see if it did what you expected. Use % increase to compare not strictly weight increase.Leverages largely determine what is getting more.My guess is the long head will grow more than lateral head because it's more involved in movments that extend at the elbow.
>>76670576If what you're saying is correct aren't skull crushers and overhead tricep extensions enough then? I'll be doing 3 sets each and to failure, I'm more comfortable with these 2 exercises than db pullover since I already work chest on my tricep day too
>>76670595It could be. I don't know your arm length to chest width so I can't say how triceps are benefiting from pushing vs isolation. Generally you'd work the opposite.Like I have narrow clavicles so my long head gets all the work it will ever need from bench. My chest and lateral head need isolation though. If I had long clavicles likely the opposite would be true. It's difficult tell it's why testing. Creating objective and specific criteria by which to measure advancement is more important when working with limited equipment than when you have a whole gym at your disposal and can see your tricep pushdown is 220 and your fly is 160.
>>76670576>head will grow more than lateral head because it's more involved in movments that extend at the elbow.long is doing shoulder extension upholding retarded skullcrusher setup (keeping humerus vertical), and it gets jammed into shoulder joint, ever moar so overhead u can expect severe elbow tendinitis from this retarded movement cause long head jammered into shoulder joint will be unable to hold continuous contraction and this instability will propagate over entire triceps giving u elbow pain >>76670613>>76670595>>76670576and u made this thread bot to blabber with ut fake robotized traffic cause u got kicked in the nuts over here: >>76670365
>>76670640You are retarded, polish, small and drunk.You had better pray I'm not a bot because if I was I would find you and tell your neighbors how gay you are for basketball Americans.
>>76670613I mostly have no clue what you're even trying to tell me, you seem to make gym way too overcomplicated, guess I'll just do skull crushers, overheads and pushups, fuck this shitty board lol>>76670640>this guy againNot reading that shit
>>76670702What about this is overcomplicated?Your leverages determine what is getting worked most on any compound. What is getting worked least in the compound needs more isolation.You can try to bias your compounds to be more even but in practice this usually means adopting a variation that's worse on the joints or connective tissue. So it's better to suppliment lifts than work too far outside what's ergonomic.
