Your triceps make up 2/3rds of your arms and nothing looks more muscular than that massive horseshoe look! Aside from having a low bodyfat %, to really bring out your horseshoe you will need to make sure you’re properly targeting all three heads of your triceps for optimal growth when training.

In this video I am going to demonstrate a tip that I use in my workouts to ensure I am maximizing my “long head” engagement when performing skull crushers and seated overhead tricep extensions. I will also go over warm-up sets, how important they are, as well as sets and reps to help prevent an elbow injury. #HTH #SHFAthlete

Do you have any videos on the ropes? Most suspension training exercises can be done on ropes with the additional benefits of extra forearm work and some resistance to supination.

Putting your wrist back on movements such as those puts the tension on forearm and wrist, and can lead to injury, which is why when you keep your wrist straight you can feel more weight on your tricep. Wrist position by itself however, does not mean more activation in tricep movements.

Why did you bring the bar to your forehead this time? I watched another video from you last week that said I need to bring the bar behind my head for skull crushers for maximal activation

With skull crushers and overhead triceps extension I keep having a poping sound in my left elbow when I go down with my arm, extending it is soundless. The pop doesn't hurt but it feels uneasy. In a third set it only get's a bit irritated.
Why is that and could it be a problem? I want to train my triceps a lot more but I can't do a lot of exercises with them because I keep having that poping sound (and skull or throat crushers can get painful in both my wrist which is there when I start doing them and becomes worse the more I do it.)
So what else can I do to train my triceps? Besides the double rope extension.

When i do the overhead triceps thing i feel like the right hand is more dominant and gets the better contraction. It's also the hand that's right beneath the dumbbell, maybe i should switch the grip

try not to go past a 90 angle, puts alot of strain on your elbows, great workout though!!

You are off base talk about misinformation… it takes a neutral grip tricep extension or tricep pushdown to developed the Horseshoe of the tricep! Beginners need to build arms size first, doing detail work comes later!

Stupid video Scott, all you are doing is activating you forearm muscles, it doesn't have anything to do with your triceps.
