If you want to get more out of every triceps exercise you do in your triceps workout then you are going to want to do what I-m showing you here. In this video, you-re going to learn the tricep master tip. This is the single best tip that you can apply to your tris that will allow you to get them to gain more muscle mass without costing you extra time in the gym. First it helps to start with some anatomy. The triceps muscle is composed of three heads, the long, medial and lateral head. The long head of the triceps is the one that provides the most bulk to the belly itself and is the one that helps to fill up the shirt sleeves the best. In order to work the long head and get it to fully contract you must take your arm behind your body at the end of the rep and get complete extension of the elbow. It is important to note that not every exercise has you finish with your arm behind your body however. This is ok. What it does underscore is how important it is to not forget to complete the extension of the elbow so you can maximize the contraction of the other two heads of the triceps. Here is where we tend to miss the mark. Mostly, this is because we have been taught that it is a bad thing to -lock out- our joints into extension. That is simply not true. Taking a joint to full extension is never a bad thing as long as you don-t have any pre-existing condition that would preclude you from doing so (like bone chips in the elbow. The only time locking out is a bad thing is when you add velocity to the process and lock out forcefully without a controlled contraction. In the case of the triceps muscle, as long as you are smoothly completing the extension and taking the elbow through its full range of motion you are not at risk for doing damage to the joint and are actually putting your triceps in their best position to respond to your training. The master tip ensures that you complete every rep of every triceps exercise by extending your elbow fully. This can be applied to the dip, triceps extension, pushdowns, or even close grip bench presses. If the exercise allows for the arm to also be extended back behind the body as well then you should take advantage and make sure you do that too. Full contraction of the long head of the triceps is always going to give you a more complete triceps squeeze because of the highest involvement of all three heads of the muscle. If you are not sure if you are extending enough you can always do the technique that I share with you here. Back off about an inch at the end of every repetition and then contract again and attempt to take your elbow into even more extension than you just had. This is a great way to get as far as your joint is going to allow you while also making sure not to overextend or jeapordize the health of the elbow because the speed has been removed. If you try this triceps workout master tip you should feel the difference instantly. The thing that the master tip should provide is an instant ability to do it with no extra equipment, it should work right away and it should be felt like no other tip before.

Also noticed it's easier to not shift my body weight, so that when I move upwards at the lower range of the movement, lower than 90 degrees, but not low to the point where the knee muscles become engaged, which happens when I emphasized -ass to grass- which I never do anymore, in the gym, to move up parallel, which goes to another athlete x video that I completely agree with. don't force yourself to squat with feet at 45 degrees I always squat feet forward less than shoulder width apart, and it's easier to move up from the low range of motion parallel which infounf harder with feet at 45 degrees bit I'll try it without full extension or lockout at the top cause I find it easier to move up parallel without ful lockout but toes pointed forward is fine

Jeff can you make a video on dip safety? Every time I ever did dips my shoulders would hurt and crunch and no matter what mechanical tip I used they would still hurt.
For anyone offering advice no retracting my shoulders doesn't help, it makes it worse. In fact more upright I am the more of a crunch I get and it doesn't seem to change much with a chest dip either. (Also no shoulder injuries)

Hey Jeff -
I got some problems with the size of my triceps
I really like the triceps pull down on the cable and the -dip-
But I found out that my triceps aren-t the same sizes
My triceps of my right hand is bigger than my left hand side: (
These exercises use -two hands on one weight-, this problem bother me so much
Is there anyway can solve this problem?
Thank you: )

I thought the claptrap about the positioning for the Long head of the triceps was crap, but I went to the gym today and played around with the long rope triceps push down with a neutral grip and bringing my arms back behind my body. I was wrong- Jeff Cavaliere is a Prophet!

Great video! I love all the tips you show, this is the kindda training, and learning! I want to do and know. A question though. Having all the body weight on the elbow joints wont be harmful over time? Since you have that articulation on compression

It's funny because i always did full extension on any tricep exercise. You can definitely feel the contraction of the tricep better when you lockout completely.

What can someone with impingements in their elbows do to train their triceps better when lock out or even full range of motion isn-t possible?
