Quick Tips

The triceps make up two-thirds of your arm, so if you want to have shapely arms, be sure to include triceps exercises in your routine.
Proper diet and exercise and the addition of the weight-loss support formula Hydroxycut^® can take you one step closer to getting amazing looking arms.
Keep your elbows as stationary as possible when working triceps. This will help prevent you from shifting the work to your shoulders
or chest.
Always work both arms (triceps) evenly to promote balanced development.

Triceps Dips

Muscles Worked
Upper Arms (back) or Triceps

Position and Movement
Place your hands behind you on a stable object with your feet on the ground. Your body should be about 4 to 6 inches away from the object behind you throughout the movement. Slowly lower yourself down toward the floor until your arms are nearly at a 90-degree angle. Hold, then use your triceps to lift yourself back up.

Tip
Remember to keep your hands firmly on the object for safety. Also keep your elbows pointed behind you to work your triceps and not your shoulders. Try not to use your legs to lift yourself back up.

Overhead Triceps Extensions

Muscles Worked
Upper Arms (back) or Triceps

Position and Movement
Sit on a bench holding a dumbell in either hand close to the back of your neck. Keep your back straight, and raise the weight above your head. Slowly lower the weight back down. Repeat with the opposite arm on the next set.

Tip
For more advanced trainers, this exercise can also be done standing up.

One-Arm Triceps Pull-Downs

Muscles Worked
Upper Arms (back) or Triceps

Position and Movement
Standing straight, grasp the handle with one hand at chest level, and the palm facing up (underhand grip). Keeping your elbows at your sides, pull down by extending your arm straight down without locking your elbow. Slowly return the weight to the starting position.

Tip
It's great to do this as your last exercise with lighter weights.
