Some exercises for your triceps, so if you get sick of doing the same ones over and over again than try some of these if you don’t already.
- close grip bench presses
- Skull crushers
- Seated dumbbell extensions
- Seated barbell extensions
- Standing dumbbell extensions
- dumbbell kickbacks
- Cable push downs
- Cable reverse pus downs
- Dips
- One arm cable push downs
- Cable kick backs
These are only a few of many triceps exercises that I mention but these are the basics to do. You should probably start with close grip bench presses or skull crushers because these build power and than probably move on to extensions and than finish up with cable pull downs. Remember to mix it up a bit every few weeks and like always get your doctor’s ok before starting any exercise regime.
Many people underestimate the importance of the tricep.
All the guys want big arms, but they always focus on the bicep. The tricep is a much bigger muscle--working the tricep hard will have a greater impact on arm size than biceps!
Strong triceps will also have a huge impact on your bench press. Your tricep is the key muscle to finish out the lockout.
Good point on starting with the big compound exercise - close grip bench. The other staple to your tricep program should be dips. Both of these heavy compound exercises will have a huge impact on your triceps.
After these two, I definately agree--mix up your isolation exercises to keep your triceps guessing.
