Ranking 20 triceps exercises on a tier list based on the latest science. This is how you should interpret my tier list:
All exercises are ranked based on muscle building potential.
S tier - My favorite. Do them if you can.
A tier - Strongly recommend.
B tier - I still do these in certain contexts. There may be better options.
C tier - There are better options for most people. Can still have value in some contexts.
D tier - Probably not a great option for most people.
F tier - Generally not recommended.
