I used to be a big fan of skullcrushers, but my elbows took a beating from them. I finally feel good after laying off of them for several months and I don't see myself doing them in the near future.

However, if you can do skullcrushers and not **** yourself up, they are a great mass developer.

i can never do these.... my elbows just feel terrible

I'll give you RGBP's!

I also like the Cybex tricep machine at my gym. Kind of like a seated version of a skull crusher (which I love, but am afraid to do without help). On the Cybex machine, your sitting almost at a preacher bench, and pushing the weight away from your face and down.

Thanks big V. I find they really hit the triceps hard, plus the joint isn't as stressed as compared to some exercises. Also, a little byproduct of playing around with them is that, for me at least, they began entraining me into the correct pling form for regular bench press.

I think in my opinion the best (and also my favorite) are Barbell Lying Extensions (for muscle mass, especially for the long head), in flat bench/floor or slightly incline.
Barbell goes at top of head or behind, so at the stretching point the angle of the arms is not perpendicular to torso, if you know what I mean.

CGBP, french press and some rope or bar pushdowns
