Triceps workout
For the ultimate triceps workout it pays to use a variety of different exercises. This will ensure that you work the muscle from a range of different positions, and force it to adapt and grow.
A good triceps workout should see you performing exercises standing, seated or even lying down, using a combination of free weights (barbell and dumbbell) and machines (including cables).
What makes a good triceps workout easy is the sheer variety of exercises you can choose from:
- Close grip bench press (barbell)
- Standing cable extensions
- Standing overhead extensions (barbell or dumbbell)
- Lying barbell extensions/Skull crushers (straight bar, EZ bar or dumbbells)
- Kick backs (dumbbell or cable)
- Dips - either regular upright dips, or bench dips
If you use a split routine, you can work this muscle on the same day as you biceps for greater efficiency - super-setting between the two will increase the overall intensity of the session, and prevent you from resting too long between sets.
To get the best from your sessions, be sure to warm up properly, and always use good form - lifting too much weight with poor form can easily result in injury to the elbow, something you definitely want to avoid as it will put a halt to almost all weight lifting activities.
