Ive got some of the shittiest Triceps attachment you will ever see. CC even though I might be completely missing one of the 3 heads. I was able to do dips with 3 plates attached, and still they sucked. Progress is slow but at least steady now.

Dude, I know this is gonna sound noobish but what are In-Humans? I’ve read the name on the forums a couple of times now, so I googled and youtubed it but couldn’t find anything.
ok, its maybe the most difficult exercise to explain via text ever, but its a press in the smith machine where you are pressing both up and towards your feet, hits your triceps like no other. I dont know why there arent any vids online
sounds like your aiming to bring up the Long head, any type of overhead extension mechanics are usually the tools to get the job done. If i were to recommend any specific exercises, id say skull crushers alternating between elbows flared or elbows close to your head, overhead dumbbell extensions and overhead tricep rope extensions are great too. since you would be new to the movement, id probably recommend you do rep schemes of 3 x 12/10/8 for 2 exercises.
hyper, who was that directed at ?

PJR pullovers toaste my triceps like nothing else.
These:
I thought that was mainly for the chest, or is there a difference version for the chest?
No, the regular BB pull-over was originally used as a “chest/ribcage expander” in early HIT routines (or even in the 20 rep squat routine). Some people still use BB/DB pull overs for chest, some use them for lats as well.
This exercise is slightly different through. In a regular pull-over the elbows stay at a fixed angle, while in this version they flex/bend on the negative and extend/straighten on the concentric. This greatly increases the triceps involvement in the exercise.
The long head of the triceps (the one that PJR’s are designed to hit, and from the sounds of the OP the one in question) performs both elbow extension, and shoulder extension (brings the upper arms down to the sides of the body).
This is why people tell you to do overhead work to hit the long head, because by putting the shoulders in a fully/hyper flexed (upper arms overhead) position you decrease it’s need to stabilize the shoulder joint, put it in a stretched position, and allow it to participate better in extension of the elbow. That’s also why exercises like close grip bench and dips do not stimulate the long head very well.
However, an even better IMO way to hit the long head is to not just put it into a static stretched position, but to actually make it perform both of it’s joint actions in one exercise, while also getting a great loaded stretch during each repetition. Which is exactly what the PJR pull-over does.[/quote]
Great patience and detail as always man!
OK I found an exercise…that head is fried today. It is overhead tri extensions (holding 1 dumbbell) on an inclince bench. Thx for the input.

Dead skulls and close grip bench will build huge fucking triceps. [/quote]
Dead skulls are another great long head exercise.
Doing skull crushers on a decline bench really helped mine out.

Eh, I’ve explained those in detail about 30000 times on here in various threads 
Check the old t-cell alpha thread about the best exercises for every bodypart, for example, and I’m sure I’ve explained them in my training thread at some point.

How about posting picture of said physique?
I really think anyone posting threads like this should be required to post pictures. Instead of people just randomly shouting out exercises that could be a total waste of time if the OP is 5’10 180 lbs or something.
If it builds muscle why would it be a waste of time?
You’re missing the point

What point is that? That you can’t “shape” muscle until you build it? You don’t actually believe that bullshit theory do you?
