boil, I invariably get scorched. Cold is intolerable, room temperature
makes me sick, and comfy-warm puts me to sleep."

years ago. I do not miss the overrated lopsided painster one bit.
Dumbbells are where it's at."

In my experience, what matters most is your elbow angle. If you flare your elbows out, you'll hit more of the medial head. If you tuck your elbows, you'll hit more long head. Or back arms I think they're called, lol.
ETA: The reason for above might be because of the type of motion. Pushing motions like a press seem to work the medial more, and extending motions like suicides work the long head. It's pretty difficult to try and isolate one or the other.IamJons Awesome workout log:

Talk about people over analyzing sh*t.
All triceps exercises engage all 3 heads to some degree. No way around it.
Also it's absolutely retarded imo, to do an exercise which focuses on other muscle groups just to engage the long head half ass.
Over head extensions, skull crushers, French press best reach the long head.

Favorite the link so you don't have to ask similar questions again.Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.
