Tricep Exercises

If you want the big looking arms, you'd better work your triceps. The triceps are another muscle that often get neglected due to the fact that they are below the biceps, and are not explicitly shown when flexing. However, it is important to make sure you focus on building muscle mass in your triceps if you want bigger arms. The following video will show you a tricep workout that consists of 3 tricep exercises.



The tricep pushdown is probably one of the most common and targeting workouts you can do. One tricep exercise you can do if you don't have any free weights or machines around is the close hand pushup, or if you really want a challenge, you can do the diamond pushup. The closer your hands get together on a pushup, the more you are going to be working out your triceps.

The final exercise you can do, and this is another that you can do without an equipment, is called dips. To do this, all you need is a chair about 2 feet high or so (doesn't really matter, the taller it is, the easier the exercise is). Face away from the chain, so that the chair is behind you. Put your hands on the chair, and stretch your legs out (letting your butt hang just beneath the edge of the chair).

To perform the exercise, simply dip your butt down, as illustrated, and push back up. This can be a tough workout, but will really focus on building your tricep muscles.
