The tricep is made up of three heads and is responsible for extending the elbow joint and straightening our arm. According toHealthline: “Increasing triceps strength brings stability to your shoulders and arms, improves flexibility, and increases range of motion.” The stronger your triceps are the easier you will find everyday activities that use a ‘push’ movement. But they will also support other upper body movements too, such as your bench press and overhead press.
This workout is a tri-set workout, where you perform three exercises back-to-back without any rest. The benefit of this is that, firstly, it allows you to pack more into your workout within a short time frame but, secondly, they also increase the amount of time your muscle is spent under tension, which is a critical factor for muscle growth. For each exercise you’ll do 10 to 12 reps. Once you’ve completed one round of all three exercises, rest for 90 seconds, then repeat three more times. Here’s your workout:
We hope your triceps aren’t aching too much after that, but it will help build muscle which will give you that desired ‘toned’ look that you’re after. If you’re looking for more tricep workouts, then we’ve got anotherthree-move dumbbell workoutfor you to try. You don’t have to just use dumbbells though, you can build muscle using a resistance band too and we have a greatfour-move banded tricep workouthere that you can try.
