Bar French press: Arms particular position allows to stretch every head of the brachial triceps muscle. However, it does not allow a complete contraction of the long head and, besides, effort progressively decreases during the exercise.

Cable triceps extension: Triceps long head does not work due to arm position. Therefore the two remaining heads will be the working muscles. The position should be steady, with half bent knees. The movement should be done by forearms, whereas elbows should not move.

Lat machine with inverted grip: similar to cable triceps extensions both as to how to do it and as to muscles involved in the movement

Cable French press: Similar to bar French press as to how to do it and as to its efficiency. But this exercise has the advantage of a continuous resistance during the whole exercise.

Triceps between two benches: The body is suspended between two benches, with heels at arms’ height. Bend arms lowering your gluteus toward the floor. Slowly raise back up to the start position by straightening your arms. The only fault of the exercise is that it is difficult to increase the weight. If done slowly, without wrists wide apart and avoiding maximum arms stretching it is one of the better triceps exercises.
