Want to add inches to your arms? 💪 Most people focus too much on biceps, but the triceps make up 2/3 of your arm mass. This insight can transform your arm workouts! In this concise guide, discover the six most effective tricep exercises that can enhance your muscle growth.
1. **Barbell Close Grip Bench Press**: The king of tricep mass! Start heavy while you’re fresh. Grip shoulder-width apart, lower the bar to your lower chest, and press up explosively. Don’t forget to control the negative to avoid injury.
2. **High Pulley Overhead Tricep Extension**: This targets the long head of the triceps, which is often neglected. Set the pulley high, keep your elbows pinned, and ensure that you fully extend the rope behind your head.
3. **Cable Rope Pushdown**: A staple for developing the lateral head and achieving that horseshoe look. Keep your elbows locked at your sides, push down aggressively, and avoid using momentum to maximize effectiveness.
4. **Lying Dumbbell Tricep Extension**: Also known as skull crushers, but done with dumbbells for elbow safety. Make sure to lower the weights past your ears to maximize the stretch.
5. **Dumbbell Overhead Extension**: A classic move that isolates the long head. Support your back while lowering the weight behind your head to feel that deep stretch.
6. **Cable Overhead Tricep Extension**: As a great finisher, it provides constant tension – something that free weights may not offer. Focus on a slow, controlled motion to maximize gains.
