Triceps exercises

The High Pulley Overhead Triceps Extension is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii. It involves extending the arms overhead using a cable machine, which provides constant tension throughout the movement. This exercise is effective for building triceps strength and definition.

The One-Arm Triceps Cable Pushdown is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii muscle. It is performed using a cable machine with a single handle attachment, allowing for unilateral training to correct muscle imbalances and enhance arm symmetry.

The Triceps Single Arm Cable Pushdown Reverse Grip is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii, particularly emphasizing the long head. This exercise involves using a cable machine with a single handle attachment, allowing for a reverse grip that engages the triceps differently compared to traditional pushdowns.

The Triceps Push Up is a bodyweight exercise that targets the triceps brachii muscles, along with engaging the chest, shoulders, and core. It is performed in a plank position, requiring stability and strength to effectively isolate and work the triceps.

Dips are a compound upper body exercise that primarily targets the triceps, chest, and shoulders. They are performed using parallel bars or a dip station, where the body is lowered and raised using the arms.

The barbell pullover is a compound exercise that primarily targets the chest and latissimus dorsi, while also engaging the triceps, shoulders, and core. It is performed lying on a bench with a barbell held above the chest, then lowering it behind the head in an arc motion.

The Frog Planche is an advanced bodyweight exercise that focuses on building strength and balance in the upper body and core. It involves supporting the body parallel to the ground with only the hands, while the knees rest on the elbows. This exercise targets the shoulders, chest, triceps, and core muscles, enhancing stability and control.

The Close Grip Push Up is a bodyweight exercise that targets the triceps, chest, and shoulders. By positioning the hands closer together than in a standard push-up, this variation places more emphasis on the triceps while still engaging the chest and shoulders effectively.

Bird Dog Push-Up is an advanced bodyweight pressing variation that combines a push-up with bird-dog-style limb control. It trains the chest, shoulders, triceps, core, balance, and coordination.

The Decline Push-Up is a bodyweight exercise that targets the upper chest, shoulders, and triceps by elevating the feet on a stable surface. This variation increases the difficulty compared to a standard push-up by shifting more weight onto the upper body.

The One-Arm Cable Standing Horizontal Triceps Extension is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii muscle. It involves extending the arm horizontally using a cable machine, providing constant tension throughout the movement. This exercise helps in building strength and definition in the triceps, particularly focusing on the lateral head.

The Planche Push-Up is an advanced bodyweight exercise that combines the planche hold with a push-up motion. It requires significant upper body strength, balance, and core stability. This exercise primarily targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles.

Ring Triceps Extension is a bodyweight triceps-isolation exercise performed with gymnastic rings. The suspension setup challenges elbow extension while requiring shoulder and core stability.

The Lying Barbell Triceps Extension, commonly known as the Skullcrusher, is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii. It involves extending the elbows to lift a barbell from behind the head to above the chest while lying on a flat bench. This exercise emphasizes the long head of the triceps and is effective for building muscle mass and strength in the upper arm.

The Katana Single Arm Triceps Overhead Extension is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii. It involves extending the arm overhead while holding a dumbbell, focusing on the long head of the triceps. This exercise helps in building strength and definition in the upper arm.

The close grip incline dumbbell chest press is a compound exercise targeting the upper portion of the pectoral muscles, triceps, and anterior deltoids. By using a close grip, this variation emphasizes the triceps while also engaging the chest and shoulders. Performing this exercise on an incline bench further targets the upper chest.

Weighted Bench Dips are a compound exercise targeting the triceps, shoulders, and chest. By adding weight, this exercise increases resistance, promoting muscle growth and strength. It is performed using a bench and additional weight, such as a plate or dumbbell, placed on the lap.

Straight Bar Dips are a compound upper body exercise primarily targeting the triceps, chest, and shoulders. This exercise involves lowering and raising your body using a straight bar, engaging multiple muscle groups for strength and stability.

The Overhead Triceps Stretch is a static stretch exercise targeting the triceps brachii muscles. It helps improve flexibility and range of motion in the shoulders and arms, reducing the risk of injury and aiding in muscle recovery.

The Tate Press is an isolation exercise primarily targeting the triceps brachii. It is performed using dumbbells and involves a unique pressing motion that emphasizes the medial and long heads of the triceps. This exercise is beneficial for building tricep strength and size, and it can be incorporated into upper body or arm-focused workouts.

Cobra Push-Up is a bodyweight pressing and spinal-extension variation that moves between a low push-up position and an extended upper-body posture. It combines chest, triceps, shoulder, and trunk mobility demands.

The EZ Bar Seated Triceps Extension is an isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii muscles. It involves extending the elbows to lift the weight overhead, emphasizing the long head of the triceps. This exercise is performed while seated, providing stability and allowing for a focused contraction of the triceps.

Incline Close Grip Push-Up is an elevated bodyweight push-up with a narrow hand position. The incline reduces relative load compared with the floor version, while the close grip increases the emphasis on the triceps and central chest.

Planche Dips are an advanced bodyweight exercise that combines elements of the planche hold and dip movement. This exercise primarily targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles. It requires significant upper body strength, balance, and coordination.
