In this video, Matt Wenning breaks down his top tricep movements for building a stronger bench press from the Wenning Tricep Bench to TRX handle variations and several other exercises we’ve used to build pressing strength, elbow stability, and lockout power.
The goal isn’t just doing more tricep work. It’s choosing movements that actually carry over to the bench press.
We cover:
• The Wenning Tricep Bench and why it works
• TRX handle tricep movements and the stability demand they create
• Building strength through the elbow and improving lockout
• Different angles and variations for developing the triceps
• Why exercise rotation matters instead of beating the same movement into the ground
• How tricep work fits into the Wenning warm-up and Conjugate Method
• Common mistakes that keep lifters from getting stronger
• How Matt has trained triceps for both strength and longevity
A massive bench isn’t built by benching more every time you walk into the gym. You need to strengthen the muscles responsible for finishing the press, and the triceps are a major part of that equation.
Matt Wenning is a 3X World Champion powerlifter with a 2,665-lb competition total and decades of experience applying strength science to powerlifting, tactical populations, professional athletes, and everyday lifters.

The TRX one is the perfect gymnaste move. And to go heavier i just sit and grap a dumbless one arm at a Time. It is the same.
The one with the Vbar is cool too to fuel them. I Will try This bar to push Up too.
It is close to the John Meadow take. His is more brutal like a narrow grip for a heavy Dips. He is standing and pressing it all down like on a bench. No isolation. But heavy !
