Building Triceps

What are the best tricep building exercices for mass and definition?

Ive been working out for about 4 months now but my triceps are lagging behind my other muscle groups…..Mainly my outer tricep head, the one that pops out when you flex….

Answer

The one that I think will target the outer tricep head would be dumbell “kickbacks” (where you are bent over leaning on a bench and you have the dumbell lifted by your side and then you extend your arm out behind you)

but my absolute favorite dumbell exercise (probably my very favorite exercise of all) is the close hand dumbell press!

wow! that exercise REALLY gets my triceps good!

also for mass - by targeting the bigger (upper part of the tricep)

dumbell pullovers are EXCELLENT!

What is better for building triceps?

I’ve recently noticed that I have very small triceps in comparison to my other muscles. I heard that pushups are great for triceps, but I’ve also heard the same about tricep dips, so I was wondering, which is better, or if you know of any other tricep exercise thats better than these?

Answer

Any pushing motion will engage your triceps:

Weighted dips

Skull crushers

Bench Press

Building strong forearms and triceps?

how do you build them cause those are my weak muscles

Answer

The best tricep exercises are rope pulldowns, pushdowns, skullcrushers, dips, and close grip bench presses. These are tricep “mass builders” For strong forearms try some reverse barbell curls and wrist curls using barbells and dumbbells.

Biceps and Triceps not showing ?

I’ve been doing one-hundred pushups every other day since September of 2007 and the result is small. How much protein does the body need to take in to build muscle?

Answer

Purpose Arm (Biceps Brachii, Triceps, Forearms)

Days Per Cycler: 2 Day Routine

Rest Between Sets: 1:30-2:00 minutes Duration 60 Min per session

This arm body building exercise/workout program is designed to increase biceps brachii, triceps and forearm size. Complete this arm/ bicep/tricep training program twice weekly. This is NOT a complete fitness program; these exercises should be added to your current regeme for arm growth.

A planned nutritional program is one of the most important aspects of increasing size for any bodypart. Please see the nutrition section to learn about protein, carbohydrates and fats. The bottom line is to make sure to get 6 small meals during the day all having protein, veggies and fruit. Also, have carbs and protein during and after a workout for muscle recovery. This is needed for increasing arm size.

This program focuses on compound exercises first and then isolation exercises to increase testosterone and growth hormone output for the rest of body for building size.

Whats the Best Bicep Workout? Building Mass?

whats the best workout to do, or even the best couple excerises (in order) that you can do with your biceps to build mass?

Answer

I agree with the first answer that you need to focus at least as much attention to the triceps in order to have big arms. Arms tend to train pretty easily because they are a smaller muscle group than your quads, chest, or back. In fact, you can overtrain your biceps because they get worked doing other movements, like rows. Here are some tips to help you build mass:

- Do your arm workout only twice a week; give the muscles time to recuperate and grow.

- With every bicep workout, match it with a tricep workout.

- Whenever possible while doing a bicep movement, like a dumbell curl, add a twist to the movement - literally. From a standing position holding your dumbells at your side, palms toward you, do a curl. As you near the top of the movement twist your forearm so your palms are facing up. This engages the small head of the bicep.

- Use good form; don’t cheat and swing the weight.

- Eat a lot of protein. Muscle is protein, and to build mass you need to consume protein.

Have fun, and good luck.

Build muscles ( six pack, biceps, triceps )

Right, ive always been a fit person, but in the last few months ive stepped it up a gear. Ive been jogging most days, and im very fit now.

I just want to build muscles now. like six pack, bigger triceps, and biceps. im very dtermined, so lets say 2-3 weeks. to see a real difference, how many pres ups, and sit ups would you recomend each day?

Answer

Take the body for life challenge or just get the book and follow it to the “T”

It is written by Bill Phillips and I would highly recommend using EAS supplements and products because they taste good and they actually have the ingredients that it says they have on the box and are not misleading you. Remember 5 meals a day to keep your metabolism up, It can be two regular meals with an additional three shakes throughout the day or vise versa. Workout for 30 to 40 minutes every other day and cardio

on non workout days. DO NOT work the same body part twice in one week! And I would suggest you go to your local track and do 20 to 30 yard sprints at full speed for 20 minutes, with limited breaks in between sprints and all other workouts. Remember get in and get out!

Cut out all white food and ingredients from your diet, Salt,sugar,bread,rice,milk,etc. until you are well educated with nutrition. And remember your portions should never be bigger than your palm or fist, Otherwise known as portion distortion!

Bill Phillips is a Scientist/Bodybuilder who became a best selling writer and entrepreneur. He single handedly took on the bodybuilding world and exposed the frauds and makers of the supplements of some of the biggest names in the business who were falsely selling bogus products. I guess you should not mess with a guy who is a scientist.

Research him and then go for it, it is truly the real thing.

Good Luck!

Who’s building stronger biceps and triceps?

two of my friends workout alot and I’m wondering who’s building more strength?

1.190 pound friend is doing about 5 dips with a quick pace, while my 120 pound friend in doing 15 dips with a slow pace who’s building more tricep strength

2.the 190 pound friend is doing dumbell curls with 60 pounds, while the 120 pound friend is doing 18 chin ups who’s build more bicep strength

please give reasons why

Answer

Strength and power are two different things. Power comes from moving mass at high velocity. Strength on the other hand is just the ability exert force on physical object (i.e. lifting really heavy weights for your maximum benchpress)

Your friend who’s doing 5 quick pace is training for power.

Your other friend whos doing 15 dips at a slow pace is stimulating a different muscle fiber, which increases strength as opposed to power.

For the biceps. Your friend whos doing dumbell curls is building more strength, because he is isolating the muscle. While the chin up dude is using primarily his back muscles (biceps are secondary) to perform chin ups.

Well defined biecps/triceps???

i want well defined or cut arms!

i need tips coz im just a beginner in bodybuilding…im 17

im lifting 12lbs dumbel

is 12lb enough??

how many reps??

how many sets??

any pointers??

does heavier dumbel can help me get defined/cut arms? or is it for bulking them up? coz i dont want bulk arms

im doing 4sets, 14-12-10-8 reps…, is that good? need help

Answer

Start of with 3 sets of 10 reps first.

Use a dumbbell that you can comfortably do 10 reps without breaking form (going wobbly).

Do 2-3 routines on each muscle group to work it until you feel the burn.

Work out your biceps and triceps ONCE or twice a week as muscle builds when they have time to repair themselves.

Keep to a good clean diet to reduce Body Fat %.

Once you’ve done that for 3 months and you want more, go to www.bodybuilding.com for more routines

Does anyone know how to get muscle in the tricep, deltoid, biceps, and abs?

plz tell me i really wanna know

Answer

Tricep - Hold a dumbell behind your head, far away from it, now extend your arms and bring it back down.

Deltoids - With a dumbell in each hand, stand straight up with them at your sides. While you keep your arms straight, move them to your side so they line up with your shoulders. Bring it back down but not all the way.

Biceps - Pushups, Bench press and curls will do the trick.

Abdominals - CRUNCHES (no sit-ups), obliques (side situps) and reverse crunches (raising of the tailbone off of the floor) are the best ways in my opinion.
