The triceps, or triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. It consists of three parts: the medial, lateral, and long head. [1] It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).
This is a compound exercise that also involves the biceps, forearms, and the rear deltoids. Equipment: cable machine or pulldown machine. Major variants: chin-up or pullup (using the body weight while hanging from a high bar), close grip ~ (more emphasis on the lower lats), reverse grip ~ (more emphasis on the biceps).
Bridging exercises are done with a flexed knee to lessen the stretch on the hamstring (a knee flexor) and focus the hip extension work on the gluteus maximus. In that same respect, the reduced knee flexion makes plantar flexion work comparable to a seated calf raise, due to the lessened stretch on the gastrocnemius (like the hamstring, also a knee flexor).
What separates the dumbbell lying triceps extension is that it hits all three triceps muscles—while also allowing for a greater stretch to the long head of the triceps than other exercises.

This variation uses a V-bar attachment connected to a cable machine and is executed with the elbows held close to the body.. This variation targets all three heads of the triceps.
