There is no single best exercise, but the triceps is the prime mover in 21 movements on this site, across 3 movement patterns. A sensible programme picks one heavy compound movement and one isolation movement rather than collecting ten variations of the same thing. 8 of these are compound and 13 are isolation exercises.

3 of the 21 exercises here need no equipment at all — starting with the close-grip push-up. A further 7 need only home-scale kit such as dumbbells or a resistance band. Progress at home comes from harder variations, slower tempo and single-limb versions rather than from adding plates.

No. Spot reduction does not work — training a muscle does not remove the fat that sits over it. Direct work builds the triceps; fat loss happens across the whole body in response to an overall calorie deficit, and where it comes off first is largely genetic.

Straightens the elbow. The long head also crosses the shoulder, so it is stretched and loaded hardest with the arm overhead. Two-thirds of upper-arm mass is triceps. Pressing trains it, but the long head needs an overhead or behind-the-body position to be fully loaded.
