Triceps workout 0004

The triceps are a strange muscle group. There sorta there but no one pays that much attention to them. The biceps are the movie stars - always the ones to be noticed, looked for and shown off.

In reality it's the size of your triceps that will make or break the look of your arms. As the word says there are 3 main parts of the "Tri"ceps compared with only 2 for the "bi"ceps. This means that your triceps always have the potential of being far bigger than your biceps. A nice set of triceps will always give an arm that "big" or "full" look. Your arms would look pretty silly if they only had big biceps - kinda strange! Yet a lot of people give too much emphasis to bicep training as compared to triceps work.

Want to have great arms? Always work your triceps really hard. That will help with your bench presses too!
