Killer Tricep Workout – 4 Triceps Exercise That Will Give Your Huge Arms (part 1)

It’s impossible to stress enough the necessity of great triceps in your goal of overall arm development. Triceps may not be the most glamorous of your muscle groups but they happen to be very important.

Your triceps make up an enourmous percentage of your upper arms. More often than not, when we look in awe at someones muscular arms it’s usually because of how dedicated this person has been to developing their triceps. Basically, if you want big, muscular arms that will get the attention of both the ladies and jealous men you need to have a good workout routine for your tri’s.

Here’s a tricep workout that’s guaranteed to get your triceps developed and up to speed with your biceps:

Triceps Pressdown

The pressdown begins by filling your arms with a good pump in order to warm up your joints and get the blood flowing to your triceps. When doing this exercise you should select a weight that allows for failure at your designated rep range. To mix things up, try flipping your grip in order to involve more of the triceps. And for variety occasionally try different grips like a rope attachment.

To Start: Stand in front of a pulley cable and grab a straight bar with an overhand grip. Bend your knees slightly and then lean forward at the waist and place your elbows close to your sides while at the same time holding your forearms parallel to the floor.

Now flex your triceps and press the bar toward the ground until your arms are fully extended. While doing this, squeeze your triceps and then hold for a few seconds before returning to the starting position.

Weighted Bench Dip

For this exercise you will usually need a workout partner to place a weight across your lap. If you don’t use a partner (and are too shy to ask someone else working out) sit on one bench and then set the weight across your lap and then put your hands in position.

After you’ve done this, place one foot at a time on the opposing bench right before press upward onto your hands and move your legs off of the bench. When you have completed your first set, sit back up on the bench and remove one foot at a time from the opposing bench.

To Start: Grab two benches and place them a few feet apart and nearly parallel to each other and then sit on the middle edge of one bench facing the other. After you have done this, place your hands a little bit outside your hips on the bench. Now place your heels on the opposite bench and press your body upward in an L shape in the top position.

Then, after a partner places a weight across your lap, lower your glutes toward the floor until both of your arms form a 90 degree anle. Pause for just a second or 2 and then press yourself back up the starting position.
