OK I feel as if Im working them out wrong, because I know the Tricep has three heads, When I work out I feel that 2 are really worked out, but I notice that the one right above the armpit (where the flab likes to hang out) doesn;t seem to grow.... I think im no working it out. Anyone can give any suggestions?

Exersizes such as the bench press and military press work the triceps pretty well. I would not fall into the mindset of thinking that you should have to actually isolate every portion of the triceps. Have you done dips? Dips are probably the best all around tricep exersize in my mind. Dips and bench presses should be enough.
Bench dip if you don't have a dip station and/or close-grip press.
I agree that it is not necessary to isolate each part of the triceps to make good gains in triceps strength and size.
There are three main triceps exercise positions:
1. arms by your side: dips, triceps kickbacks, reverse bench dips, etc.
2. arms out in front of you: pushup, close grip bench press, lying triceps extensions (nose breakers), etc.
3. arms overhead: skull crushers, military press, etc.
For variety you should do at least one movement in each position. Triceps are also worked somewhat by bent rows, pull downs and pullovers while you are working lats.

what is the french press?
French press is the same as a "skull crusher".
ok whats a skull crusher?
Position 1
Position 2
If the bar slips or you give up....you'll crush your skull.
Hope this helps, WOLVERINE.

I almost thought that was Beverly Crusher from Star Trek the Next Generation lol. Thanks DM. you think those are really good for triceps?
Even better are french curls. The same motion as the scull crusher, except don't bring the bar to eye level. Push the bar back at a 45 degree angle and bring back at the same angle. This will keep constant tension on your tris, as well as your stabilizers. An all around better exercise.
do you have a picture? I don't understand.
