Have you ever wondered about those 3 heads of the triceps?

Well no, me neither.

But you do have this muscle on the back of the upper arm that people like to do a whole heap of exercises for. The three heads all work slightly differently and this chart shows what exercises recruit what heads the most.

They didn't measure it as they were using MRI. Basically the MRI was only able to be used for the limbs and they eliminated a lot of compound exercises for arms, but surprisingly not the legs.
