Inner tricep exercises?

Is there a way to target the inner tricep? inner tricep meaning the part of the tricep muscle that is nearest your armpit. Its the muscle that completes that "horse shoe" look, and Im missing that half. Any idea's on exercises? if there are any.

any tricep exercise that is done above the head

My thoughts exactly

Thank you to the people that actually answered my question, the rest comments on my personal stats. typicall bb.com

Ill repost my display pic that I had before if you care so much

any tricep movement

this isn't 100%

the overhead tricep movements are meant to put the tricep into a streched postion at the bottom of the ROM

this allows the weight to forcefull elongate the muscle and strech the fibers due to the position of the arm

all tricep movements work the entire tricep, no triceps movements only target a single head of the tricep

Emphasis. :rolleyes:

wide grip dips

Give me a couple of days to find and scan it. I wasnt 6'5" ............more like 6' 9" and around 260-270. It is possible. I wasn't fat either.....solid high school athlete.

Would this be the medial head?

[QUOTE=fearbrandon;663552241]any tricep exercise that is done above the head[/QUOTE]Putting the shoulder in the position of flexion would stretch out the long head of the triceps more, and I've heard it said this recruits it better. I don't understand the over/active insufficiency things so I'll put some faith in that I guess, though I'm not entirely sure.

The only thing is, as above it seems like he's trying to hit the medial rather than long (middle) head of the tricep.

When I look at this picture of the right arm viewed from behind, it does looke like the medial head is closer to the torso. But on the other hand, the long head goes up higher and actually does enter through the 'arm pit' area.

I'm still trying to learn how this 'horse shoe' shape is created, hopefully I can find more illustrated examples. Now I'm torn between my instinct that he meant medial versus taking your guy's view that he might mean the long head. The long head is between the medial/lateral so it's very much the 'middle' tricep, but might be what he means when he says arm pit. How to determine this?

The medial and lateral heads attach to the humerus and their length is not altered by a change in shoulder position. While I agree that I think all heads are working during all elbow extension movements, the changes in shoulder positioning (mostly flexion/extension but I think rotation and ab/ad duction may also change long head recruitment) do affect the degree of work the long head can do and by extension, how much the medial/lateral heads do.

Now, there are some people out there I think who claim you can emphasize medial or lateral heads independently, one over the other, but I don't understand how this could work. I hope proponents of this will explain their theory for why this would be.

Such a claim shares similarities to claims you can emphasize the vasctus medialis/lateralis of the quadriceps, but the key difference there I think is that we have a mobile patella which can drift sideways, so that lends more validity to claims of emphasis. The triceps, in contrast, has no mobile intermediary bone like that. They simply connect straight to the ulna.

A confusing concept to me is alteration in pronation/supination during elbow extension movements. I've seen this and don't understand it too well because I thought the triceps were the only elbow extensors. I could only imagine changes in forearm rotation affecting this if there was an extensor attached to the radius, did I miss out on one?

If not that then it'd really only change which muscles are stabilizing the wrist during the levering.

Case in point.

The "inner" triceps head is the god damned long head, which is emphasized by overhead movements, when you stretch the god damned long head.

Why do you pollute every f*cking thread with your random bullsh*t for no good reason?

No, he sin't trying to hit the f*cking medial head.

Medial head is hit by reverse grip moves and isn't considered the "inner" triceps head. It is almost an unknown muscle to most of the working out world, since it lies under and beneath the long head.

Thanks for the input but that is one wackass diagram you got going on there :O

ive been into lifting for years of and on, now ive been in it straight for a a little over a year and a half and ive found that singlehanded reverse grip pulldowns work great, along with reverse grip ez bar pulldowns, stay in control do negatives. its worked for me and ill be uploading pics soon to prove

lately ive become obsessed with trying to even out my triceps because this inner portion has taken on its own part of my arm

"Medial" does mean 'inner' so I think asking is justified. If someone said "inner quad" wouldn't it be good to ask if they meant vastus medialis or the intermedius/rectus femoris?

I'm 15 about to be 16 I'm 6 foot 6 inches and 260 pounds. This picture is when i was 6 foot 5 inches at then end of my 9th grade year(14) and about 250 right before i started lifting.
