Four exercises for your triceps

1 answer

Here are four effective exercises to target and strengthen your triceps:

  1. Tricep Dips:

    • Find a bench or sturdy surface.
    • Sit on the edge with your hands gripping the edge, fingers facing forward.
    • Slide off the edge and lower your body by bending your elbows to about a 90-degree angle.
    • Push through your palms to lift your body back to the starting position.
    • Repeat for 10-15 reps.
  2. Overhead Tricep Extension:

    • Stand or sit while holding a dumbbell or a kettlebell with both hands above your head, arms fully extended.
    • Keep your elbows close to your ears as you slowly lower the weight behind your head.
    • Extend your arms back to the starting position.
    • Perform 10-12 repetitions.
  3. Tricep Push-Ups:

    • Get into a push-up position with your hands placed narrower than shoulder-width apart.
    • Keep your elbows tucked close to your body as you lower yourself down.
    • Push yourself back up to the starting position.
    • Aim for 8-12 reps, adjusting your knees to the ground for a modified version if needed.
  4. Skull Crushers:

    • Lie on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended above your chest.
    • Bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells towards your forehead, keeping your upper arms stationary.
    • Extend your arms back to the starting position.
    • Perform 10-15 repetitions.

Make sure to use a weight that is manageable while maintaining proper form, and always consult with a fitness professional if you’re unsure how to perform these exercises correctly.
