I need some ideas for exercises to do for stronger triceps?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Elbow extensions.: Elbow extension against resistance is the best way to build tricep strength. Dips against the resistance of your own body weight is excellent also.

Triceps work.: Triceps exercises include cable triceps extensions, overhead dumbbell extensions (one heavier dumbbell with both hands or lighter dumbbell in each hand), dumbbell kickbacks (light weight), close-grip bench presses, overhead cable extensions, and dips to name a few. Shoot for 3-4 sets per exercise, 8-12 reps, once weekly. Each day you work triceps, choose two of these exercises.
