To effectively train the long head of your triceps, focus on exercises that target this specific muscle, such as overhead triceps extensions, skull crushers, and triceps kickbacks. Use proper form, gradually increase weight and reps, and ensure adequate rest for muscle recovery.
Triceps muscle has got medial head, lateral head and long head. Long head has got the origin from the infraglenoid tubercle. That means, when you contract the triceps muscle, long head gets support from the scapula bone. That gives additional support for the muscle to do the the action of extension on the elbow joint.
The only long head of the triceps is related to the moment of glenohumeral joint. This glenohumeral joint is more commonly called as shoulder joint. Whether this long head of the triceps is stretched or not, can not be commented.
infraglenoid tubercle
The biceps and triceps are both muscles in the arm, but they have different functions and structures. The biceps are located on the front of the upper arm and are responsible for bending the arm at the elbow. The triceps are located on the back of the upper arm and are responsible for straightening the arm at the elbow. Additionally, the biceps have two heads (long head and short head) while the triceps have three heads (long head, lateral head, and medial head).
all three do Lateral Head (caput laterale) Long Head (caput longum) Medial Head (caput medial)

Triceps is a very powerful muscle on the backside of your arm. It has medial, lateral and long head. That is why the name triceps goes. Medial and long heads arise from the humerus bone and long bone arise from the infraglenoid tubercle of scapula bone. It is inserted on the olecranon process of the ulna bone of the forearm. It gets the nerve supply from the radial nerve, on it's way to extensor compartment of the forearm.
lol, that's funny question. the only answer for that is is "train train train"!
Shoulder extension is controlled by: Long head of the triceps, the last, and the teres major
Long (Scapular) Head: Infra-glenoid tubercle at the lateral border of scapula inferior to the glenoid fossa
The triceps brachii is the muscle of the body primarily used to extend the elbow. It is a long muscle that originates in the scapula.
The push-down exercise work the tricep muscles. It works all three heads of the tricep to give the horseshoe shape. The three heads of the triceps are the lateral head, the long head, and the medial head.
