Tricep Workout

David's Tricep Workout

Straight Bar Tricep Pushdowns

Starting with your palms on top of the bar and your elbows at a 90 degree angle keeping your arms at your sides and shoulders stationary. Tighten your core and press straight down using a weight for 10-12 reps the first 2 sets. The next 2 sets increase weight for sets of 6-8 and lastly 4-6 reps. You should have a good burn going after these 4 sets.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start with a dumbbell in one hand with your palm facing your torso. Keep your arm close to your body and in a controlled manner use your tricep to raise the weight until the arm is fully extended then back again. Once again FORM is very important to gets the best results from this exercise which is one of my all-time favorite tricep exercises. Complete 3 sets of 6-8 reps.

Reverse Grip Tricep Pushdowns

I like to finish with this exercise, it gives a great pump to end with. This exercise the weight you will use is much lighter than all the other exercises. This is a sculpting movement and form is more important than the weight. I finish with 3 sets of 10-12 reps for a great burn!

There are several other exercises I mix in every so often to keep the body guessing like. Rope tricep pushdowns or dips until failure for a great finishing burn.
