Triceps Brachii Long Head

The triceps brachii, as its name suggests, is a muscle which composes of three heads, situated to the back of the arm. The long head is the middle region of the triceps brachii, composing the main bulk of the back of the arm.

The triceps can be successfully recruited via exercises which involve the extension of the elbow joint, such as skull crushers, dips, and pressing exercises. For those who wish to directly target the triceps, isolation exercises such as the skull crush, kick back or cable extension can prove fruitful. Compound exercises such as the close grip bench press and dips can be performed in a manner to enhance the emphasis on the triceps.

When training for muscular size it is often best to train in a rep range of 6-12 repetitions, although there is often much debate on the optimal rep range. It would be advisable to experiment with different ranges to see which suits you.
