What exercise has the most tricep activation?

Porcari and his team reported that muscle activity was greatest while subjects performed the triangle push-ups, which made it the gold standard of triceps exercises. “All across the board, the triangle push-ups elicited the most muscle activity in our subjects,” says researcher Brittany Boehler, B.S.

What exercise builds the biggest triceps?

Which tricep attachment is best?

V-Bar Attachment: An amazing choice indeed. The V-Bar is very similar to the EZ-Bar but it’s a bit more angled-down which is usually preferable by most lifters. Before choosing an attachment though, you have to understand that the triceps do not rotate the forearm, they merely extend it.

These muscles can experience similar injuries and recover with similar treatments. There are plenty of exercises that target both muscles individually or as a pair.

Most intermediate-advanced lifters need at least 6 sets of direct triceps work per week to make gains, and for some, it’s even more than that. This is ON TOP OF normal chest pressing. If you’re training twice a week, that’s about 3 sets per session.
