The Triceps Muscles

Allow me to tell you a little about the triceps muscles. The triceps is a three-headed muscle that is on the back of the upper arm. They are responsible for extending the elbow. Triceps are used when doing any type of pressing movement for the chest and/or shoulders

Why Should You Work Your Triceps?

If you're working your biceps, you shouldn't over look the other side of your arm that contains three muscles, where the biceps contain only two muscles. Muscle imbalances can cause pain and injuries. Your triceps are working throughout your day, weather you know it or not. Anytime you push something, your triceps are involved. Triceps muscles also play a part in shoulder and chest exercises. If you have weak triceps it can disable you from getting a proper chest and shoulder workout.
