Muscle-up
An advanced compound exercise that combines a pull-up with a dip, requiring significant upper body strength and coordination.
Triceps · Advanced
Weighted Muscle-Up
An advanced compound exercise that combines a pull-up and a dip, performed with additional weight. It targets the upper body, primarily engaging the latissimus dorsi, biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, and core muscles. This exercise requires significant strength, coordination, and technique.
Triceps · Beginner
Triceps Cable Kickback
The Tricep Cable Kickback is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii muscle. It involves extending the arm behind the body using a cable machine, which provides constant tension throughout the movement. This exercise helps in building muscle definition and strength in the triceps.
Triceps · Intermediate
Decline Barbell French Press
An isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii. Performed on a decline bench, this exercise emphasizes the long head of the triceps by increasing the range of motion and providing a unique angle of resistance. It is effective for building tricep mass and strength.
Chest · Intermediate
Decline Dumbbell Bench Press
A compound chest exercise using two independent weights on a head-down bench. It emphasizes the lower chest and combines chest pressing with elbow extension by the triceps.
Chest · Intermediate
One-Arm Dumbbell Bench Press
A unilateral chest exercise that targets the pectoral muscles, triceps, and deltoids. This exercise enhances muscle symmetry, core stability, and overall strength by engaging stabilizing muscles to maintain balance.
Triceps · Beginner
Katana Triceps Extension
An isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii, particularly focusing on the long head. This exercise is performed using a cable machine with a rope attachment, allowing for a full range of motion and continuous tension on the triceps.
Triceps · Beginner
Underhand Triceps Extension
An isolation exercise that targets the triceps brachii, specifically emphasizing the medial head. This exercise is performed using a cable machine with an underhand grip, which can help reduce stress on the elbows and enhance muscle engagement.
Triceps · Intermediate
Standing Overhead Barbell Triceps Extension
A triceps-isolation exercise performed with a straight bar held above and behind the head. The overhead arm position involves the long head of the triceps, while the torso maintains an upright stance.
Triceps · Beginner
Cable Triceps Pushdown
An isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii, primarily focusing on the lateral and long heads.
Triceps · Beginner
Overhead Cable Triceps Exstension (bar)
The Overhead Cable Triceps Extension (bar) is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii.
Chest · Intermediate
Chest Dips
Dips on parallel bars target the chest, triceps, and shoulders. This compound exercise emphasizes the lower part of the pectoral muscles and helps in building upper body strength and mass. Proper form is crucial to maximize effectiveness and prevent injury.
Chest · Advanced
Lean Planche
An advanced bodyweight exercise that targets the shoulders, chest, and core.
Core · Advanced
Flag
An advanced sideways bodyweight hold on a vertical pole with the body and joined legs extended horizontally. The upper and lower arms provide opposing support while the trunk resists sideways bending and rotation.
Shoulders · Advanced
Handstand Push-Up
A freestanding inverted bodyweight press for the shoulders and triceps. The demonstrated variation combines repeated elbow extension with whole-body balance on the hands, without support from a wall.
Triceps · Beginner
Assisted Machine Dips
Assisted Machine Dips target the triceps, chest, and shoulders. This exercise is performed on a dip machine with adjustable weight assistance, allowing for controlled movement and gradual strength development. It is suitable for beginners who may not yet have the strength to perform unassisted dips.
Triceps · Beginner
Triceps Pushdown V-Bar
An isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii. It involves extending the elbows to push a V-shaped bar downward using a cable machine. This exercise primarily focuses on the lateral and long heads of the triceps, promoting muscle growth and strength in the upper arm.
Triceps · Beginner
Machine Triceps Extension
An isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii muscle.
Triceps · Beginner
Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension
An overhead isolation exercise for the triceps performed while seated with a dumbbell. It emphasizes the long head of the triceps in a supported upper-body position.
Full body · Beginner
Ski Ergometer
A full-body cardiovascular exercise on a ski-erg machine that simulates the double-pole action of cross-country skiing. It combines repeated upper-body pulling with hip and trunk involvement for conditioning work.
Triceps · Intermediate
Suspension Triceps Extension
A bodyweight elbow-extension exercise with the hands supported by suspension handles and the feet on the floor. The forward lean loads the triceps while the trunk and shoulder girdle maintain the body's alignment.
Triceps · Intermediate
Dumbbell Lying Triceps Extension
A bilateral elbow-extension exercise performed on a flat bench with two dumbbells and a neutral grip. The upper arms remain nearly vertical as the dumbbells move between forehead level and near-straight arms above the shoulders, targeting all three heads of the triceps.
Triceps · Intermediate
Ring Dips
A compound upper body exercise performed using gymnastic rings. This exercise primarily targets the triceps, chest, and shoulders, while also engaging the core for stabilization. The instability of the rings increases the difficulty, requiring greater muscle activation and control.
