Some triceps exercises are more effective than others, something we know from the American Council on Exercise.
In an ACmmE-coissioned study, researchers took exercisers through eight of the most common triceps exercises and recorded muscle activity by attaching EMG electrodes to their triceps.1
With this information, they were able to rank the eight best triceps exercises. The top four moves
Think about it. They might be tucked away around the back (where you can't see them), but your triceps make up more than two-thirds of your upper-arm mass. That's a lot of muscle to neglect. Building thick, developed triceps means building thick, developed arms.
Horseshoe triceps aren’t just for show either. They play a significant role in some of the most effective and popular exercises, like the press-up and bench press. In fact, tricep strength (or distinct lack of) is often the limiting factor in many pressing movements. Simply put, your presses will only go as far as your triceps can carry them.
