99% /thread. But I’d be remiss not to mention weighted dips. Not the 35 lb. on a dip belt kind but the kind that makes your eyes bleed.

 Yeah, try and push the bar in a straight line, and not over the face, you really will feel it in your triceps that way throughout the whole movement.

Personally, I’ve never had much luck with carry over to my comp grip or triceps strength. I’ve had better luck with close grip floor presses, band work, and 3 board presses for triceps. But give it a try, it might just be awsome for you.

JM press is something to consider

Just give up ink.

3 board ftw.
