The Triceps Workout Exercises Dips
The triceps brachii, a three-headed muscle that works in opposition to the your biceps, also attaching under the deltoid and below the your elbow. Its simple basic function is to straighten the arm and supinate the wrist. your triceps make up two third the size of upper arms. Following is breakdown of triceps exercises:
1. Hook a short bar to an overhead cable and pulley, stand close to the hand bar and grasp it with an overhand grip, hands about 10 inches apart. Keep your elbows locked in close to your body and stationary. Keep your whole body steady do not lean forward to press down with your body weight.
2. Press the bar down as far as can possible, locking out your arms and feeling the triceps contract fully. Release and let the bar come up as far as possible without moving your elbows. The type of bar you use, how close you stand to the bar, or the width between your storng hands; or you can do a three-quarter movement, going from all the way up to three quarters of the way down in order to work the lower triceps more directly.
ONE ARM TRICEPS EXERCISES EXTENSION
To work the entire triceps and separate different the three triceps heads.
1. Sitting on a bench, take the a dumbbell in one hand and hold it extended overhead.
2. Keeping your elbow stationary and close to your head, lower the dumbbell down in an arc behind your head (not behind the shoulder) as far as you can. Feel the triceps stretch to their fullest, then press the weight back up to the starting right position. It is essential to do this as strictly as possible. Looking in the mirror helps you check your form. Finish your set, then repeat the movement with the other arm. Be sure to go back and forth from one hand to the other without stopping to rest in between.
TRICEPS DIPS
To develop the thickness of the triceps, especially
around the elbow.
1. Taking hold of the parallel bars, raise yourself up and lock out your arms in right position .
2. As you bend your elbows and lower yourself between the bars, try to stay as upright as possible the more you lean back, the more you work the biceps; the more you bend forward, the more you work the pectorals. From the bottom of the movement, press yourself back up until your arms are locked out, then give an extra flex of the triceps to slowly increase the contraction. You can easily increase the effort involved in this simple exercise by using a weight hooked around your waist and by coming up only about three-quarters of the way rather than locking out the right movement and taking the tension off the triceps.
