Looking for a decent Tricep Workout

What exercise is the 'Widowmaker' exactly?

Widow maker is a 20 rep set right?

25-30 reps I believe. That's how I do mine.

It's not a specific exercise. It's a type of set that can be used for a lot exercises. You drop the weight and try to get 25-30 reps even if it means you need to pause and rest in between reps for a few seconds. They burn quite a bit but the pump is awesome.

So sort of like a burnout set then?

Try doing cable rope kickbacks. Tie the rope handle so that there is just the one rope and then use a mid pulley and the perform standing bent over rope kickbacks. The resistance is much better then DB kickbacks.

Dips and more dips, rope pushdowns a very distant third

I would have taken you for a two-board press kind of guy....

No. It is more like unsing your 10-12 rep max and doing 20-30 reps, not a burn out. You get 12 reps or so, take a few breaths without putting the weight down, et another couple reps and so on until you reach your rep goal.

Quite different than a burnout.

How well do board presses work?

You're right, my mistake. I was partially correct, but thank you for clearing it up. It's not a burnout set, but I did mention resting for a few secs in between reps until you hit 25 reps.

Gotta agree with that mate dips always hit my tri's the hardest.

and luckily for us there is a weight belt at the gym so when dips become easy just do 20kg extra weight!

Edit: post your pics in the photo's section ben, get lots of advice in there.

I was referring more to his powerlifting background. I too prefer dips and close grips.

Close grip Bench Press..... I like doing these and stopping before I touch my chest and not locking out all the way at the top. makes it much harder.
Weighted Dips
Tricep pressdowns
Skull crushers...... I love doing them decline. take all the stress off the elbows and more on the tricep
Overhead ez curl bar seated extensions
