How to build lower tricep near elbow?

Triceps is a large spindle-shaped muscle, located at the back of the shoulder. As the name implies, it consists of the three heads: long, side and medium. As you might guess, the main “profession” of the three heads of triceps is straighten the arm at the elbow joint.
The long head crosses the shoulder joint, starting from a small hill near the scapular cavity. Side and medium attach to the different parts of the humerus, but in the end the whole “trinity” merge to follow the radius of the forearm. In case that long head crosses the shoulder joint, it also participates in the abduction and enforcement of the arm.
