Don’t Neglect The Tricep With This Muscle Workout.
Muscle Workouts
The triceps are often overlooked when wanting to achieve that t-shirt ripping arm but they are more important than the bicep in many respects. The triceps make up 2/3 of your overall upper arm size so if it’s big arms you’re after you best start taking care of those triceps. Like all muscle workouts there are many different tricep workouts out there and I will only be showing you one for now.
The Tricep Workout.
1. Close Grip Bench Press
The bench press is a brilliant full body exercise, but if you change to a close grip rather than a standard you will find that your triceps will get hit hard. Low set/rep range higher weight.
2. Tricep Dips
Again dips are an excellent full body exercise but with a slight variation you can make it into a killer tricep exercise. Aim to complete 3 sets of 10.
3. Tricep Extension
This exercise isolates the tricep so therefore you should definitely feel the burn after this and if you can’t you need to check your form and if that’s okay add more weight. 3-4 sets, 6-8 reps.
4. Skull Crushers
This is a brilliant tricep exercise as they isolate the tricep and allow them to move through a full range of motion. 3-4 sets, 6-8 reps.
5. Push-Ups
If you can take more tricep pain then a nice finisher is the push-up this uses the tricep more than the bicep and is good for definition. Do this to failure.
This Tricep workout will make your arms grow but to reap the best benefits use alongside a good nutrition plan and multiple muscle workouts and you’ll be laughing. Remember you need to keep your body guessing changing your workouts every month or until you reach a plateau that way you will keep on growing and improving.
