[0:00]Triceps looking flat and out of pancake, we can fix that. And all it takes is just two exercises. You see, the key to building bigger triceps that hang low on your arms is to first target the part that is most responsible for that low hang, the long head. Having a thick meaty long head is going to noticeably fill out those shirt sleeves regardless of what angle you're seen from. You said thick meaty long head. First, you'll want to target this long head with overload and stretch. The best way to do this is with a lying tricep extension, but be careful of those arms. Imagine there's an invisible fence that runs behind your head. They are not allowed to cross at any point during the exercise. It's okay to go back further behind it and get a bit more stretch and momentum if you're using heavier weights, but stop them at the fence if you want to keep the tension on the triceps. Next, we have a pushdown, but not just any pushdown. This rocking pushdown allows you to do something the traditional pushdown doesn't, and that is to keep the tension on the triceps for longer. The change in body position during the exercise helps to keep the cable more perpendicular to the forearms throughout the range of motion, once again, keeping the tricep tension high.
