Triceps pull down- I like to use the rope at the cable station. If you want you can use the single handle to workout one arm a a time. Make sure your elbow is at your side and NOT moving. You only want to contract the triceps. As you pull the rope down, make sure your back is straight and your core is tight.
The second exercise is the triceps kickback. Find a bench or chair, have your back straight (no other way to say this... but stick out your butt so you can have a straight back)- again have your elbow basically glued to your side so only your forearm moves and causes the triceps to contract. The second image is the kickback part of the triceps exercise with your entire arm parallel to the floor.
The third exercise that is probably one of my favorites is the close-grip pushup. This is a variation of the run of the mill pushup only with the hands as close to each other as you can possibly get them. The closer your hands are the better you will target your triceps. As with all pushups your form is more important than how close you can get to the floor. Make sure your body is parallel to the floor and your back is straight.

I like to do 3 sets of each exercise (about 12-15 reps) on the day of triceps.
