If overhead tricep exercises hit the long head of the triceps, does overhead shoulder exercises that involve the triceps hit the tricep long head?

These are fun with rotating bars, but just aweful if the bar doesn't rotate, lol.
No, they don't hit the long head well because your elbows are at your side, the long head doesn't get very stretched.
tri push/pull downs (lez call'm pulley extensions?) hit the 2 shorter heads of the tricep.
Though if you have a pulley that allows you to pull at a horizantal angle, or perhaps a low row, you can mimic an overhead extension with a cable if you position your body right relative to it.

Overhead shoulder presses hit my triceps in the same manner that bench presses do......lateral head mostly.
Concerning pushdowns, it depends on how you do them, flare out the elbows or keep them closer to your body to play around with the long head. Twist your wrist out at the end of the move to emphasize the lateral head.
Additionally for the long head, try:
Standing overhead cable rope extensions
Standing overhead DB extensions
Decline french presses
All of the above hit the long head hard.Last edited by k9pit; 08-04-2012 at 02:30 AM.
