Triceps Workout

Get triceps that look like this....
What is the most glamorous muscle on the body (instead of the abs)? They would be the triceps my friend. A muscle that composes 60% of the arm, it is much more massive than it's over hyped comrade the bicep. Training this muscle is easy. Push ups, bench press, shoulder presses, really anything that involves pressing and the chest will train your triceps but to really target the muscle group there are a few exercises that work the best. Doing these exercises in the right order on a schedule of properly distributed rest days will give you slick defined triceps.

Day 1

Dumbbell Triceps Extension - 3 sets of 8 reps with 45 seconds rest
Body - Up - 2 sets of 8 reps with 45 seconds rest
Tricep Kickback - 2 sets of 6 reps with 45 seconds rest

Day 2

One arm Triceps Extension - 3 sets of 8 reps with 45 seconds rest
Seated Triceps Press - 2 sets of 8 reps with 45 seconds rest
Seated Triceps Kickback - 2 sets of 6 reps with 45 seconds rest

Day 3

Lying Tricep extension - 2 sets of 6 reps with 45 seconds rest
Tate Press - 2 sets of 8 reps with 45 seconds rest
Dumbbell Bench Press - 3 sets of 8 reps with 45 seconds rest


  • Each day should have at least one day of rest(at most 2) to get the maximum growth out of your triceps.

Remember! This is not a full workout! Every week you should in compass every muscle group within your body in your workout regimen. This is just a part of a bigger workout. This set of exercises would be placed nicely after a pectoral exercise(s). I urge you not to place the exercise after back work because the biceps will get in the way of the full extension of the triceps. 

Now go and build those triceps of gold!
