Which triceps exercises are best for beginners and professional athletes?

Arm muscle training is certainly one of the highlights of working on an athletic physique. Most of the trainees focus only on biceps, forgetting about the important role of triceps. What exercises are best for triceps development?

Best triceps exercises to do in the gym

When training in a gym or fitness club, you can use a large number of devices and accessories that allow you to develop your triceps . Resistance exercises , which are based on additional weight, are an ideal way to stimulate the process of hypertrophy - a mechanism that causes an increase in muscle mass, resulting in a visual increase in the size of a specific muscle group. Which exercises will turn out to be the best to expand the posterior group of the arm muscles?

  • Lying EZ bar French press
  • Bent over tricep kickbacks
  • Cable tricep pushdown
  • Narrow grip bench press
  • Standing French press

Best triceps exercises to do at home

Not everyone can exercise in a professional gym. There can be many reasons for this - lack of time, limited financial resources, an overload of responsibilities or long distance from the nearest fitness club. But nothing is lost! Home conditions also allow you to perform triceps -oriented training, and by choosing the right exercises, there is a chance for equally effective development of this muscle. What exercises will have the best impact on the development of the triceps muscles?

  • Reverse push-ups
  • Dips using chairs
  • Diamond push-ups

You can use additional equipment - gymnastic bands - in your home triceps training to add variety to the above exercises and give your muscles additional stimuli for development. The best solution will be to start with bands that have little resistance to gradually increase the load and build the strength of the triceps muscles steadily.

What supplements are best when doing triceps exercises?

Even the best exercises will not allow you to develop triceps muscle mass without a properly balanced diet. Diversified nutrition is a fundamental aspect to provide the body with the optimal number of calories and the necessary macronutrients to support the development of the muscular body. However, it is worth considering the option of introducing additional supplementation, thanks to which beneficial ingredients can be easily and comfortably provided for the intensively working muscles.
