]]> By challenging your control, and strength and sculpting your posture, cable exercises are a wholesome form of workout. What’s more, they’re particularly useful for developing powerful triceps. Here are some of the most effective cable exercises to sculpt your triceps.

Triceps Pushdown

For this workout, you’ll need to use the cable pulley up top. Face the machine and stand two feet away with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the rope handle at the base and keep your elbows locked into your sides. Lower the cables and extend your elbows until fully extended. Return to the starting position.

Overhead Tricep Extension

Stand with your back to the machine. Grab the pulley on the bottom and hold the handles behind your head. Pull the cable upwards until your arms are extended and then return to the start. You can also perform this exercise with a dumbbell if a cable machine is not available.

Triceps Kickback

Using the pulley below, grab the handles and stand three feet away from the machine. Bend your back over, keeping your core engaged, and bend your knees slightly. Make sure your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle and pull the cable back before returning to the starting position. If you struggle to extend fully, then perform this workout with dumbbells.

]]> As the biggest muscle in your arm, the tricep plays a major role in your overall arm strength. Still, despite their importance, finding effective tricep workouts if you don’t have access to weights can prove difficult. Here are three weight-free exercises to develop your tricep strength today.

Diamond Pushups

Drop to the ground on all floors, ensuring that your feet are shoulder-width apart. Make sure your hands are parallel with your chest and proceed to connect your thumbs and index fingers together to make a diamond shape between your hands. Lower your body to the ground and push back up. If this proves too challenging, place your knees on the floor for added support.

Triceps Dips

Find a chair in your house and place it in an area where there is plenty of open space around it. Sit on the chair as you normally would and proceed to extend your legs out while keeping your feet on the ground. Place your hands next to your hips and lift your body up until your elbows are straight. Lower your body back down until your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle and repeat.

Wall Push-Offs

Face a wall square one, standing a little further than an arm’s length away. Without moving your feet, rock your body forward and place your hands on the wall at about chin height. Then, lean your body toward the wall until your chin is almost touching, and use your hands to press your body away.

]]> Your chest and triceps might not be the first parts of your body that you want to strengthen, especially as leg day is way more fun. But upper body workouts actually help your good posture. Here are three exercises to improve your posture.

Push-Ups

A simple push-up is one of the best chest and tricep exercises you can do. If you’re a beginner you can start on your knees, and if you want more of a challenge you can use handles to go even deeper.

Start in a high plank position with your hands beneath your shoulders. Engage your core and bend your elbows to lower the body down in one long line from head to heels in one movement. When the upper arms are parallel to the floor, press straight back up to start. Do 10-15 reps.

Dumbell Chest Press

Another great chest and tricep exercise in one, you can do it on a mat on the floor or on a bench. If you want to work on the upper chest you can put the bench on a positive incline.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Extend your arms straight up parallel to the chest with palms facing towards the bottom half of your body. With control bend your arms and lower them to your sides until your triceps touch the floor. Your elbows should be at a 45-degree angle. Then straighten your arms and return to the start position. Do 10 reps.

Tricep Dips

You don’t even need a gym for this exercise, just a chair or a coffee table and you are ready. Once you get stronger you can straighten the legs to make it harder.

Start seated in the chair and hold the front edges with both hands. Scoot your butt forward until it’s hovering just off the seat and your legs are 90 degrees and straighten the arms. This is your start position, then lower your body down until your elbows form 90-degree angles. Push through the back of your arms to press back to start. Do 10 reps.

]]> Tricep exercises are an important part of upper body training, but they are sometimes overlooked. Triceps, actually make up 60% of your upper arm and are a major muscle that are twice the size of the biceps. The muscle is formed of three heads: the lateral, medial and long head. All three of the heads are put to work with the exercises suggested here and will help you to increase your arm strength, and stop you from being self-conscious about that area. Here are three tricep exercises to give you stronger arms.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start by standing with a dumbbell in each hand, arms bent at 90 degrees with your palms facing each other. Keep a slight bend in your knees. Engage the core and hinge at the waist, bringing your upper body slightly forward. Keep the back straight and tuck the chin. Keeping the arms close to your body straighten the arms with the weights behind you. Return to start, and do 12 reps.

Push-Ups

Start in plank position with your hands under but slightly outside your shoulders and lower your body down until your chest nearly touches the floor. While lowering down bring your elbows close to your body so your upper arms form a 45-degree angle. Push back up to the starting point, and do eight reps.

Tricep Extension

Start by standing straight with your feet hip-width apart and hold one dumbbell with both hands above your head. Lower the weight behind your head by bending the elbows but keeping the shoulders still. Extend your arms back to the start position. Do 12-15 reps.

]]> Working on your tricep muscles is just as important as every other part of your body. Triceps make up 60% of your upper arm and they really give your arms shape when toned. Your triceps are used in some of your upper body exercises, but you should be including focused tricep exercises in your workout program to build some strength. Strong triceps help you out with your upper body strength, improve your range of motion and flexibility, and they stabilize the other upper body muscles. Here are three tricep exercises to try.

Tricep Dips

You can do these on a bench, on a step, or even on the ground. Sit on the bench with your hands shoulder-width apart and straighten your legs out in front of you. Move your butt off the bench towards the floor whilst your arms do the controlling until your elbows are at 90 degrees. Push through your hands and straighten your elbows and bring your butt up to the height of the bench.

Seated Tricep Extension

Sit on a bench with one dumbbell between both hands held above your head. Slowly lower the weight behind your head by bending the elbows and keeping your upper arms still. Extend your arms to start position.

Tricep Kickbacks

Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand with your knees bent, lean forward slightly, but keep your back straight. Start with your elbows bent and your forearms parallel with your thighs and your upper arms parallel with your back. Engaging the core and triceps straighten your arms at the elbow, taking the dumbbell up and back and keep the triceps in the same position. Squeeze and then return to start position.
