The Best Tricep Exercises to be Efficient in Today’s Fast-Paced World
Time is money, and busy people like us can’t afford to waste it all day at the gym. I will give you a few of the best tricep exercises you can incorporate to maximize the growth of your triceps. Incorporating a couple of these exercises will ensure you’re working every aspect of your triceps.
This will be a quick read because I am not here to waste your time and have you read a 20-minute article. Straight to the point is how we do it here at FittBeat.
Compound Exercises- Best Tricep Exercises to Target Multiple Muscle Groups
Close-Grip Bench Press
This is a very effective compound exercise because it targets all the tricep muscles and your shoulder and chest muscles. Hitting all these muscle groups with one exercise is very efficient, and that’s what we are shooting for.
Dips
Dips are hugely efficient because they heavily target all the tricep and chest muscles. Dips will make your triceps feel the burn!
Isolation Exercises- If you want some isolation
Overhead Tricep Extensions
This exercise specifically isolates and targets the long head of the tricep muscle. It can be done with various equipment, such as dumbbells or cables.
Tricep Pushdowns
Everyone loves these, and you’ve probably seen people do them at the gym. They target the triceps muscles well and are famous for that reason.
Bodyweight Exercises- When you don’t want to be bothered with equipment
Diamond Pushups
This variation of the original push-up heavily emphasizes the tricep muscles. These can be brutal, which helps your tricep growth because, as we know, no pain, no gain.
Bodyweight Dips
You can do dips pretty much anywhere. When I first started, I used my couch. Depending on the height of your bed, you can use your bed, a chair, or a sofa.
Tips for Effective Tricep Training
These are great exercises, but you must follow some rules to be successful.
Correct Form
You must ensure that you use proper form and get a full range of motion to engage all of the muscle groups.
Change is Good
It would be best to keep your triceps guessing what was coming next. There are a few ways to do this. You can change your weight from 10lb dumbbells to 20 lbs. Or you can use compound exercises one day and isolation exercises the next.
Rest
You have no idea how important rest plays in muscle growth. Every physical therapist and doctor will always tell you it’s important because they know the science behind it.
Conclusion
It’s short and sweet. You do not need to be in the gym for two hours to be fit or gain strength and mass. The most important things are consistency, a proper diet, and rest. You also don’t need 10 to 15 tricep exercises. It is much more important to master a few with proper form than to try to have many different ones. We have other dreams to attain, so let’s spend much time on those. Thanks for visiting us at FittBeat.
