Ok, lately I've just been doing the tricep press down machine, and I really don't feel anything in my triceps. I was wondering what you guys thought about how well the tricep press down machine works, and what other good tricep exercises are. Thanks
 
Narrow grip pull ups, and pull downs, I guess.
 
i prefer using cables rather than bar extensions. doing dips and bar extensions tend to strain my shoulder a little too much.
 
Ovearhead extensions maybe... for people who do have to go heavy to get something out of the movement. Dips... if done properly with a good ROM can only give you the best results.
 
I love the overhead extensions with a dumbell...It's the only way my triceps actually get sore the next day.

Neither of those works the triceps at all. Pulling motions are for back and biceps (& lateral/rear delts to a degree)...pushing motions are for chest and triceps (and front delts)

the only machine for triceps that's worth a crap would be the overhead pully, for triceps press downs...but I would do this as more of an isolation/build up the pump move...not the meat & potatoes exercise.

No, for serious mass building, you want heavy, close grip bench presses, skullcrushers (a.k.a. French Press) and dumbbell extensions behind the head.

I wouldn't bother with tricep kickbacks...ever.
 
Thanks for setting that straight, malkore. Oops, I was talking about the tricep press downs, when I said pull downs. Heh, I can never get all these names straight.
