Let's face it, your triceps are the difference between having average sized arms and having arms the size of punching bags! Personally, my triceps developed to what they are today from using 3 key factors; 1. Isolating all 3 heads of the tri-cep You many or may not know but the tricep is a 3 headed muscle group consisting of the long head (underneath inside of bicep), medial head (direct rear of upper arm) and the lateral head (horse shoe shape, side of upper arm). 2. Using a fixed tempo on exercises Spreading out your tempo on each movement in an exercise ensures full range of motion and achieves a stretch with resistance against the muscle at the peak of a contraction. Very important. 3. Maintaining point of muscle fatigue Your tricep workouts should be structured around 1. Pre-fatiguing the muscle 2. Taking it to the point of fatigue 3. Maintaining the muscles point of fatigue until it reaches direct muscle failure. Below is a sample workout from my new book 'Permanent Muscle', it is taken from the programs 3 phase, 28 week workout program! Feel free to print it out and give it a try. More info on it's release is underneath... * If you are unsure of some of the exercises or terms used in this workout, I have attached full descriptions and photo demonstrations so there is no confusion, just click the box!
