The Triceps muscle is the 3-part muscle on the back of the upper arm. This is the muscle responsible for most of the pushing movements your arms do. The Triceps is also the larger and stronger of the two upper arm muscles. Growing, shaping and strengthening the Triceps is important for many reasons. Many men and women grow and shape the triceps for the sport of bodybuilding. Others strengthen the muscle for use in power-lifting, weightlifting or other sports and competitions such as arm wrestling or tennis. We may also want to train them for personal fitness or health benefits or for use in our play or work activities. In any case, here are some of the more commonly recommended training methods you can use, first with then without weightlifting apparatus. [Before beginning a lifestyle of exercise, you may want to consult your physician during a regular checkup.]
Working the triceps with weights
Keep plenty of fresh, clean drinking water handy during any routine. Wear loose, comfortable clothing appropriate for the following movements. A general warm-up for exercise should include 5 minutes on the exercise bike, treadmill or in varied aerobic exercises. Following this we can begin a triceps routine with weights laid out something like this.
1. Triceps Dumbbell Press Behind Neck = 3 Sets x 10, 6 & 20 Repetitions.
2. Triceps Pushdowns = 3 Sets x 10, 6 & 20 Repetitions.
The Triceps Dumbbell Press Behind Neck is performed holding one dumbbell at one of the bell like ends with both hands gripping the narrower part. Then, with the careful help of a trainer, spotter or other aid, hold the dumbbell hanging behind your neck. Pressing with both hands, extend the dumbbell up over your head from behind til your arms nearly lock at the elbows. Breathe out during this movement. Lower the dumbbell again, breathing in. You will soon notice the triceps muscle is performing the work here as it pushes the weight up and carefully lowers it back down. Perform this exercise with elbows as close together as possible. Perform all movements slowly, in good form as described and with good breathing. Count backward from 4 to 1 during the second movement to insure you do it slowly.
The first set before a momentary break for water should be 10 repetitions, or
