The Muscles of the Triceps
The triceps brachii is a three headed muscle (tri for three, in
the name triceps) that works in opposition to the biceps. It
attaches under the deltoid and below the able.
Our triceps muscles work anytime we straighten our arms or twist
our wrist upward. Many of the exercises which isolate the triceps
are close grip in nature such as close grip bench press or cable
pushdowns. Our triceps, contrary to popular belief, comprise 60 -
70% of our upper arms, and should therefore be emphasized more than
biceps in our arm training to create the appearance of a large
arm.
