Looking for some great exercises for triceps to incorporate into your workout routine? If course you are. I mean, regardless of whether you're looking to build or tone your arms, implementing the appropriate triceps exercises is a must.

Exercises For Triceps

The triceps - which consist of 3 "heads" - work to extend the arm. Knowing that, the obvious method to strengthen the triceps is to extend the arm against resistance. There's a lot of different exercises for the triceps to pick from and of course, some are more effective than others..

Decline Triceps Extension: Of all the exercises for triceps, the decline extension is my personal favourite. Not only is it my favourite, but it also happens to be the most effective - as proven by a study conducted at York University a few years back.

Close Grip Bench Press: The close grip bench press is an excellent exercise to build up the triceps. It's also great for developing overall functional strength that translates over well to all sorts of different sports. Pay close attention to your technique though because since this exercise enables you to lift a heavy load, the last thing you want is to do something wrong and end up hurting yourself.

Seated Overhead Dumbbell Extension: This is yet another great exercise to build up the triceps. In order to make the most of this one and enable yourself to lift a heavy load, you want to perform the movement on an upright bench that has a back support.

The above 3 exercises for triceps are my top recommendations for adding muscle mass. Of course there's a lot more exercises you can do in order to both add muscle and just tone your arms in general. Here's a listing ..

Standing Rope Extension
Overhead Rope Extension
Bench Dips
Parallel Bar Dips
Dumbbell Kickbacks
Diamond Push Ups

The list goes on and on..
