Favorite Tri Exercises

[flintstone]

In the spirit of Gator's post about Tri sets, what are some of your favorite tri exercises?
Mine:

Tricep Explosions (3 sets [ 2 sets of 15 heavy(55 lbs - hey, that's heavy to me!!!!, 1 set until failure light ( 30 lbs.)]) I sometimes do these between bench press sets - burns like the devil!

Skull Crushers (3 sets until failure) - I love these, big results fairly quick

Dips - IMO, the best Tri exercise you can do (3 sets until failure)

I usually wake up the next day with sore-a$$ tri's

Questions, comments?

I realize some of the exercises I mentioned may have different names depending on where you are in the world. I'll gladly clarify those if need be.

I love EZ Bar Skullcrushers.

CGBP too, but on the decline bench. I feel it more.

I like CGBP too but it puts a lot of pressure on my wrists at same time so I generally don't do them too much. I always start with skullcrushers. Great exercise. I also do extensions with a rope and pulley. Crouch over getting your chest level with the floor and extending from behind your neck and pushing outwards and to the sides at the end of the movement. I get a good overall pump from this exercise. I always love finishing with dips as just blows my tri's up.
