Triceps:
If you are working triceps with chest then you won’t have to do as much as the triceps will be pre-fatigued from your chest workout.

Background on the triceps.
1. First they are 2/3 the total size of the arm.
2. They are the strongest muscles in the arm.
3. There are 3 heads to the tricep and no single lift or even two lifts will hit the whole tricep evenly.

Being that the tricep is the strongest part of the arm you might want to consider going heavy for good development. This will complement the pressing movements in exercises like bench, inclines, military, bar dips.
Presses work similar movements to the triceps like bench press is similar to skull crushers, dips like cable pushdowns and military press like standing French press. But the bench dips and military presses are more power movements and the others are more like shaping/isolating exercises. The isolating exercises are not bad but if you don’t have good size then why isolate? I would do compound exercises for the triceps something that will force you to push with some force. Going heavy will force the muscles to accommodate the added resistance and hence better growth and also helping your presses.

Three heads of the tricep:
1. Skull crushers/close grip bench, these will give you some meat on the tricep and make it full at the back of the arm.

2. Dips or cable pushdowns will give you some outside development on the triceps.

3. standing French presses will give you inside development on the inner and upper tricep. These are one of my favorite because the tricep is fully stretched at the bottom of the lift and done with full range will give you a really nice pump. They also can be done with a dumbbell, strait bar, easy curl bar, cable (from the floor), single arm.

If you are going to do triceps off the chest day or shoulder day then you might want to give it like 3 days from the presses to do the triceps. Indirectly dips hit lower chest, close grip bench hits inner chest. I would not put my tricep routine 1 or 2 days before my chest routine or even my shoulder routine. But in chest, I do bench and incline presses so the triceps get hit hard there.

There are other exercises for the triceps like kick backs and reverse grip bench but if you want to hit all three heads then the above will do it. Hey, some people have stubborn triceps. You might want to figure out if you have to go really heavy to make them grow or do reps to make them grow. Each of us are different and there is no set rule here.
We are all different. Use what works and toss what does not apply to you.

Love the topic. The best tricep exercise I ever did and it worked wonders for me was dips between two benches (hands on one, feet on the other). You didn't need a belt to help add extra weight as you can just rest plates on your legs (I recommend resting them on your quads so you don't strain you knees).

This way you can easily tweak your form to really target the triceps and to take it further, you can do the dips with the added weight, shake off the weight and do more until failure, THEN just do half dips, only going down half way.

This absolutely kills your triceps and definitely made my arms bigger (currently 18.5 inches).
