Weight Training Routines, How to Get Huge Triceps
To increase your arm size in the shortest time possible it is important that you stick to the basics. By basics, I mean the lifts that will give you the most return on your investment. Don’t waste your time on non-productive movements like 90 percent of the other people in the gym.
And now, the triceps, a set of three muscles connected to both elbow and shoulder, but work in opposition to the biceps and forearm. Read further for tricep-building tips and tricks.
Dips are one of the best exercises a beginner can do. They will primarily work your triceps, but also your shoulders and chest too. In order to place the stress on your triceps there are a few tips you need to know. First off, dips should be done between two bars that are parallel. The starting position should look like you are standing up with two bars in your hands.
Grip the bars tightly at all times so you don’t slip. Now to begin the movement you need to lower your body toward the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides, and keeping your body as straight up and down as possible. If you lean forward it puts a lot of stress on your chest and shoulders, which isn’t a bad thing, but save it for chest day.
Good advice. Don’t lock out at the top. To allow the triceps muscles to relax, completely straighten and lock your arms. If you are unable to perform dips using your body weight, try an assisted dip apparatus that utilizes counter-balanced weights to counter your own weight. If your gym doesn’t have one, get a spotter to push up on your feet to help you out. Doing three to ten repetitions to start with should be your aim.
A close-grip bench press is similar to dips, as it involves a compound movement. The movement is similar to regular bench press. Make sure you grip the bar with your hands around 8 to 12 inches apart. Grip where you feel comfortable, paying close attention to how your wrists feel. To alleviate stress on your wrists, start your grip with a 12 inch spacing and work your way closer as you get more comfortable.
As you lower the bar to your chest, be sure to keep your elbows close to your sides. The bar should end up just below your nipples. Full extension of the arms is not necessary. A good time to stop is just short of the full lockout. If you want to bulk up your triceps, this is a fantastic way to do it.
The forementioned is simply a component of a total workout system; for more information, browse my website.
