I love you for this exercise rip, it's been the single tricep exercise I've consistently used for many years now and I owe it to you.

I couldn't help but think when I read the title, that the triceps were somehow not being truthful.

Did these instead of the standard skull crushers where you bring the bar to the forehead. The DOMS the next morning were INSANE. No elbow issues at all. Pressing instantly feel more rigid and powerful. Cheers Rip!

First we need a video on the Honest Triceps Extension.

If you are having tendon trouble in your elbow (happens eventually when you go heavier), do a set of bicep curls (not super heavy) in between sets of these. I had an old childhood injury which was flaring up a lot and when I put some bicep curls, that seems to "reseat" the problem tendon and the pain has gone away completely. LOVE this exercise!

What a coincidence. Was just watching the old version of this. Thought I was misreading the new video update wrong. You've always helped me Rip! Grateful for all your knowledge.

Very useful Mark! Thanks for that!

Great video thanks again for your time and help 🏋️

This is by far one of the best things Mark ever gave me right here. After watching this simple video I went and started doing these and within weeks I went from 10s on each side of an ez curl bar to now 35s for I think 14 reps (about to increase weight again). It has put more meat on the back of my arm than anything I've ever done before in my life and is going to be a staple of my arm training. Not sure why he says you need a spotter. If you can bring heavy dumbbells back with your legs onto a flat bench you can even more easily do it with a bar.

On his forum he specifically said at 155 lbs you’ll need a spotter. 35’s depending on the ez curl bar can be anywhere from 85-95 lbs so you’re still considering to be lifting too light of weights to need a spotter

I do them in the rack, by myself at home. Start it from the top, as if it were a bench press, but arrange the bench so that you are facing the side in which it is racked instead of AWAY from it. Safe, full range of motion, works well.

@Bag Stallion I add weight while it's on the bench, then pick it up and rest it on my thighs before rocking back into the starting position. I don't quite exhaust myself with the extensions themselves, but almost, then I move the bar to do narrow grip bench press. Afterwards I just rock back up into a seated position and set the bar back on the bench.

I've never needed a spot for this. It's also nice to finish it off super-setting with narrow grip bench press. That should allow you to fully exhaust yourself in a position where you can rock up into a seated position.

I actually used to do my skull crushers this way before I knew that it was a named exercise. I always found that going lower than the head allowed for a greater stretch in the triceps, and i noticed it softened the bottom end of the movement so my elbows didn't hurt as much. I used a lot more control on the eccentric portion though, otherwise my elbows were barking at me afterwards.

My favorite triceps move

Thank you Very much

Itd be good to see one on the straight arm lying overhead barbell tricep pullover. I remember bill starr saying it was a good tricep builder

Lovin the “assistance” work coach... never thought I’d see the day... and I didn’t mention the curls did I !? on a serious note boss, what’s your view on the close grip bench (14-16”grip) as an assistance exercise?

This makes the triceps huge! If you want to make the triceps stronger and bigger in appearance, perform this movement with dumbbells!

Will there be a video on dips? After hearing some otherwise confusing information on the Internet, it would be great to see you guys cover it properly

I don't think Rip program the dip. The reasoning being that the bench hits the same muscles, is less dangerous and easier to make a progression on.

sumsar01 Dips are in "the book" and may be an appropriate assistance exercise for an intermediate/advanced lifter.

I may have tried this one time and I believe there was something in my shoulder or elbow that just wanted to murder me. Thankfully I'm doing heavy weighted dips so I'm not missing out on tricep gains. But I will give it a try later on once my dip becomes too heavy to manage safely with a dip belt, or when I stop linear progression.

Can mark please do a barbell row form video?

Rip, could you do a short video on the barbell bicep curl, and could you consider briefly going over common form issues leading to injuries? I feel like I'm following the book/video as well as I can, but seem to be irritating something. the website also seems to have a handful of people in my situation with BBC and LTE with no real answer other than switch to dumbbells.

how about one on the BB Curl.

Hi Rip,what do u think about Bill Starr straigth arm pullover for tricep long head ?

Hi Mark is it necessary to do bicep and tricep work being wear doing compound exercises thanks

What would you say is a nice intermediate strength standard for this lift? Currently around 60kg for 10 reps.

I like the Paul Dicks and JM Press for Triceps.

Definitely feeling some elbow pain doing this. I worry about the force this will put on your elbow from two different directions.

Barbell row video?

So...who would dislike this video? ha. Thanks for another video, Starting Strength Team.

Arnold used to do them this way too (ie correctly).

Im a big fan of Mark's work, but I haven't found any video about the Barbell Row. How so? I thought it is a necessary assistance exercise.

isolation movements are typically added into workouts after the main compound lift to bring up weak points. if the chest takes over in the bench due to weak triceps, continuing only to bench will further exaggerate weak points.

Why 10 to 12 reps on assistance and not 5's ?

I liked this exercise in the past. But in the home gym I didn't have ez bar. I used a straight bar and on the last rep/set my form suffered and I dislocated my shoulder. If you do this exercise, keep a really strict form, and don't go for any cheating reps ever. Shoulder dislocation is not fun.

I applied this to some light cable tricep extension, i believe mark demonstrates this in an older video. i had to work with it cause at first i was doing a pulldown, locking my elbows to my side then doing a tricep press. This didn't seem to get it. When i activated elbow extension at the same moment i activated shoulder extension i instantly felt firmness and tension in the part of the long head that crosses the head of the humerus and attaches to the scapula. I always thought that this was using the lats to cheat the tricep work. I was wrong. I don't have a problem being wrong. I just fucking hate how often Rippetoe is dead on balls correct because he's an insufferable ass. Its ok, I'll gladly use Mark's knowledge to achieve my goal of letting Mark know who's the actual pussy. You are Mark, that's why you're pink.

I have the same issue, my elbows tendons get easily irritated by this exercise. Maybe I'm just getting old...I still do it but infrequently. For instance, whenever I feel the need to deload the bench press I do a short cycle of triceps extensions for 2 or 3 sessions in a row...after that I resume my bench training and stop doing triceps extensions (I replace it by close grip bench press and some dips)

LaLibrePensee try doing it without the deep drop and swing. Keep your humerus slightly back, not perpendicular to your chest. When the weight goes down let the bar drop to the level of the bench your lying on. When you come back up tho is where you extend fully before the bar comes across your eyes and you can see it...make sense?

tricep extensions is not a weight lifting exercise... or a weight assisted exercise for weightlifting!

Funny that the writer of Starting Strenght can't bent over and pick the bar up..

If you start feeling bad elbows from these, drop em. Did these for 3 months, had golfers elbow pain for half a year. Dogshit even with light weight

He's letting the barbell fall then rebounding out of the bottom... that's poppycock weightlifting!

I know that Mark talks a lot and has a lot to impart but it would be a lot more engaging and entertaining to watch if Chase wasn't a moving mannequin.. has he ever said one word in any of the videos?.. maybe offer some feedback on what he is doing
