Triceps exercises
The triceps make up about two-thirds of your upper arm. Overhead extensions stretch the long head; pushdowns and close-grip presses load all three heads.
- Include one overhead movement for the long head.
- Close-grip bench and dips let you go heavy.
- Keep your elbows still on pushdowns.
