What's the best tricep exercise. And is it a muscle that responds to low rep high weight or high rep low weight?

Thanks

The Triceps has 3 fucking heads with diffrent points of origin. You're gonna need at least 3 movements that complement each other.
Cgbp
you should do pushdowns too imo, skullcrushers dont hit the outer tricep that much in my experience
yeah just like you need 4 exercises to hit your quads
oh, wait. There are literally two worth doing.
Don't post anymore when you're that clueless.
I love skull crushers, just lying on the flor with ez bar - feels great in triceps
>Weighted dips
The one that hits the long head best (which is the most important for mass) is Skull-crushers, if you want to be strong asf at presses do CGBP instead.
The triceps mostly consist of fast twich fibers meaning that they respond best to heavy weight and low reps.
Jacking off.
Even before i started working out I had big horshoes because i loved to stroke my penis to pornography
Close-Grip bench pressing and overhead pressing with pauses. It responds to any kind of rep range so long as you are progressively overloading. Lifting really is not that complicated.
How does reverse grip bench compare to close grip?
My triceps got fairly big from diamond pushups almost exclusively
Fork put downs. Really target the triceptimus maximus yakno
Heavy bench press
Tricep push downs
Tricep overhead cable extension
Weighted Dips or a seated dips machine
Close grip bench
Skull crushers
>ideally you'd be rotating 2 or 3 of these with your workout just make sure you're doing an Extension movement and a pushing down or dip movement
isolating arms is a meme
close grip is better because it's a great ROM and you can tuck your elbows in more
Dips because you can go heavy af. It's also a practical strength to train, and it works more than only the tris
Skull crushers but actually bashing your face in with dumbells
you only need 2 exercises the rest are just a bonus
if good genetics for tris then bench press and close grip bench press.
if bad genetics then train it twice a week, one after chest and the another with bis idk.
