Despite being the biggest part of the biggest muscle in the arm, not many people know how to truly work it at the gym. The answer comes in a proper understands of anatomy. Because the long head of the triceps originates on the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula (back of the shoulder), rather than on the humerus like the medial and lateral heads, a full contraction is only possible with the arm in extension behind the back!
