The Best Triceps Exercises
For Building Massive Arms
Including exercises for the triceps in your workout is important, Why? because the triceps help you with so many different lifts such as bench press and shoulder presses. The triceps also make up two thirds of the size of your arms so if you want bigger arms then you need to work those triceps muscles.
The triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed" muscle of the arm) is the large muscle on the back of the human upper limb.
It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (i.e. straightening of the arm).
Though a similarly-named muscle, the triceps surae, is found on the lower leg, the triceps brachii is commonly called simply the "triceps".
When it comes to building up your arms triceps exercises are just as important as biceps ones. The triceps make up 2/3 of the arm so a good set of triceps can make your arms look massive.
Close Grip Bench Press
1) Lie on back with head underneath bar, eyes aligned with bar, and feet flat on floor. 
2) Position hands on bar shoulder width apart or slightly less.
3) Start position: Lift bar off rack with bar directly over head.
Lower bar to chest at the nipple-line. Press bar up to starting position.
This triceps exercises takes some of the stress away from the pectoral muscles and places it on the triceps instead.
Bar Dips
1. Step up on foot platform (if available) and position hands on dip bars.
2. Start position: Remove feet from platforms and suspend the body with slightly bent elbows. Lean forward slightly so that your elbows are slightly past the plane of your back and knees slightly bent.
3. Lower your body until your upper arm is parallel to the floor.
4. Return to starting position by extending the elbows to a slightly bent position.
5. Remember to keep the trunk bent forward, head neutral, and chest up.
Keeping your body straight puts the pressure of the triceps. Leaning forwards will put the pecs into play and is also a good exercise for working the chest muscles.
Add weight if you can do more then 12 reps in a row.
Skull Crushers
1. Start by lying on a bench and holding a bar above your chest. 
2. Keeping your elbows stationary bend your elbows so that the bar comes down to your forehead level.
3. Stop the bar just short of your forehead and then extend your arms to the extended position.
4. Repeat for the suggested repetitions
One of the best triceps exercises for getting that real burn feeling. This can be harsh on your elbows though so be careful when performing this exercise. Have a spotter or you will find out why its called skull crushers.
