Bodybuilding Workouts, How To Get Huge Triceps

By Ricardo d Argence

Stick to the basics to increase your arm size in the shortest possible time. I'm referring to the lifts that provide the biggest reward for what you've invested. You should not waste your time in unproductive movements like 90% of the people in the gym.

And now, the triceps, a set of three muscles connected to both elbow and shoulder, but work in opposition to the biceps and forearm. Read further for tricep-building tips and tricks.

Dips are one of the best exercises a beginner can do. They will primarily work your triceps, but also your shoulders and chest too. In order to place the stress on your triceps there are a few tips you need to know. First off, dips should be done between two bars that are parallel. The starting position should look like you are standing up with two bars in your hands.

You need to hold the bars tightly so you won't slip. To start, you have to squat with your arms against your sides and your torso as erect as you can hold it. Leaning forward can concentrate stress on your shoulder and chest muscles, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you should save it for when you're exercising your chest muscles.

It is better not to lock out at the top. You will alleviate stress on your triceps if you straighten your arms. Use an assisted dip machine to counter-balance your weight if you have trouble doing dips. If your gym doesn't have one, get a spotter to push up on your feet to help you out. When you first begin, try getting in three sets of ten repetitions by yourself.

A close-grip bench press is similar to dips, as it involves a compound movement. The movement is similar to regular bench press. Make sure you grip the bar with your hands around 8 to 12 inches apart. Grip where you feel comfortable, paying close attention to how your wrists feel. To alleviate stress on your wrists, start your grip with a 12 inch spacing and work your way closer as you get more comfortable.

As you lower the bar to your chest, be sure to keep your elbows close to your sides. The bar should end up just below your nipples. Full extension of the arms is not necessary. A good time to stop is just short of the full lockout. If you want to bulk up your triceps, this is a fantastic way to do it.
