Triceps, as you already know, are the three-headed muscles that come together at the elbow. These are on the back of the arm. So, the tricep workout would involve many exercises. Some of them are –

You can do these weapon drills to get more beautiful weapons. But you know there are always some precautions to be taken.

  • Curls & Extensions – The exercises listed above such as bicep curls and tricep extensions are not endless. This is not advisable for beginners.
  • Never overwork your arms – arms are the small muscles that are hit in all exercises. You should not overwork them because the muscles grow when they are resting.
  • Don’t ignore other muscles – take care of other muscles too. You don’t want your arms to be too good compared to the rest of your body. This will make you look ugly.
  • Eat enough food – You should eat the right amounts. If you try to eat less or more than you need, you will not reach your goal.
