Weekly Muscle Building Workouts, About Arms and Triceps

By Ricardo d Argence

Our arms are composed of a number of different types of muscles. Among these muscle types, it is the triceps that are always used with arm movements. As the name implies, triceps are comprised with three main muscles. Strong and big triceps gives an individual the ability to lift heavy loads. Also, having well-developed triceps is a known characteristic of great and powerful arms. That is why so many people are seen doing military presses, bench presses and any other triceps exercises to develop lean and strong triceps.

Without strong triceps a strong arm can not be imagined. This is because the muscle takes 2/3 of the entire length of your arm. You also have to exercise your biceps, so that your arms will look rounded and properly proportioned.

Dumbbell exercises, rope pull downs and push ups are some exerxises your triceps work out must include. Before doing any of these, remember to have a proper warm up. Warming up is necessary before going for tough exercises.

Toning up of muscles of triceps is achieved by push ups. Using dumbbells for load or increased body resistance helps in intensifying any form of triceps exercise. Another option you can use to tone your muscle is to replace the pull down machine with a dumbbell, grasp it with both hands and point it to the rear of the head. You will feel the triceps flex by maintain a position and gently pull the dumbbell up and down.

In the gym, triceps toning exercises begin with rope pull down machines. The machine exercises the triceps by allowing you to do similar exercises as those done with the dumb bell. Remember to maintain proper posture in doing these exercises to ensure correct execution. Exercises are all for quality of movements and not the number of reps.

Improved exercises are done for strengthening of uppr and lower triceps. For mass, heavy weights such as the close-grip barbell bench and weighted dips may be used. Dips and cable pressdown exercises can be useful for someone who wants to strengthen his upper triceps. For building lower triceps, weighted dips and dips was found to be effective, intensify the exercise by only going 3/4 of the way up force to fully concentrate on the lower triceps.

For getting good result for triceps building you should start while you are fresh. By supersetting triceps exercises, one can have an Olympia-quality arm. Usually, it is harder to build bigger triceps. It is the key to achieving well-proportioned body building results, as according to the priorty principle of body building, targeting first the-hard-to-workout muscles.

Triceps strengthening also depends on eating a proper diet, receiving the proper nutrition and getting an adequate amount of rest. Diet is very important in exercise in order to go on with the demanding exercises. Exercise and nutrition is like science and fitness working together in achieving ideal results. To achieve long-term gains in weight training, you need an equal balance of exercise, rest and a well-balanced diet. - 17273
