Therefore, it appears that isolation exercises such as
bench dips and dumbbell kickbacks display high levels of
triceps muscle activity, while it is uncertain how these exercises compare to compound exercises such as the narrow grip
bench press.
The study founds that narrow (thumbs touching) grip push - ups, dumbbell kickbacks and
bench dips produced superior muscle activity in the lateral and long head compared to overhead
triceps extension, cable pushdowns performed with a rope or bar, lying
triceps extensions and close grip
bench press.
The compound
triceps exercises (e.g.
dips, close grip
bench press) tend to work the 3 heads relatively evenly.
You can train

bench presses and
triceps dips (both compound movements), but you'll find that virtually every other
triceps exercise is a single - joint move.
Triceps dips — Place your hands shoulder distance apart on a
bench or chair.
