Hi

what are the best exercises for tricep growth( apart from dips as i dont have dip bars).
thanks

I think close grip bench is one of the best tricep exercises out there. It helps build power in the triceps and also builds mass.

would this best be done on a seperate day to normal bench press or same day?

You do realise you can easily just do dips using two chairs. Put one on your left, one on your right, and hold the tops of the chairs while dipping.

Close grip bench, cable pushdowns, cable kickbacks, overhead DB extensions. For dips, do bench dips with a plate on your lap.

or a walker. Just make sure you set it against a wall.

good idea!!:D i suppose they would have to be quiet heavy chairs otherwise i could fall on my ass!!:lol:

You can also do dips using 2 parallel barbells set on the safety bars in a power rack.

Actually, quite surprisingly they even work fine with fairly light chairs. Just don't put them too widely apart :tu:
