Triceps Workouts - Weight Training Exercises For Big Arms

[built04Cobra]

hands down the best tricep workout is skull crushers with an E Z curl bar with your hands as close to each other as possible, believe me u will definitly feel it in the tries for the next 2-3 days if u do it right

[LostProphetRalphy]

shapefit is a great website, i recommend it all to all

[ab3k1nz]

are these tricep workouts good for building big biceps?

[Spirisense]

you need bicep workouts to build big biceps...

[Edward6360]

in order to tone...it jst means using lighter weights right???

[Xteeler]

Not that u guys care but... I go to the gym to get shape not strength cause im pretty sure i have enough strength. Im 15 by the way.

[realsixer]

sleevesboi012s right, but,low body fat is also super importint for looking cut an tone .same thing jus different word

[iyavn]

I like this guy!

[ShironTheWindragon]

Oh...so that's why I don't quite feel anything when I do the Rope Pushdowns.

I always end up loosing my focus and stability when I pull it down.^^'

[ben556473]

When doing triceps kick backs the arm should not come out of tension, in other words don't let the forearm go to verticle on the way down.

[Kiddowesth]

I often use this exercise. It rocks, I also get a pump when doing it! You can also do it while laying down, but I prefer it seated as Kris does it .

All the best

[PrivateBrowser]

should i do work outs like this if im 14

[celticeagletattoo]

on the kickbacks if he turned the dumbell when its at the top it would work the inside of the tricep as well as the outside and you fill it alot more

[bigtingz786]

just writing to thank you for all the effort you have put in, we all seriously appreciate it.

[Alberto022592]

how do u make ur arms get bigger

[777childofchrist777]

that last tricep workout is great, not so good for strength, but great for toning.

[777childofchrist777]

that last tricep workout is what i always do. its not a very good strength workout, but its great for toning. seriously my arms are hurting like hell, but thats a good thing,

[rickalex21]

that last one - why would you only do it at the end of your workout ? Why not include it in your workout ?

[loser123567890]

it's impossible to get big arms like that sexy guy has with just a few simple repetitions. Your workout would not also have to include wights training but also cardio vascular training, not to mention a strict diet packed with tons of protein (for muscle building)

so the only thing that could happen to your muscles is for them to tone up A BIT!

[tony6176]

what supplement would any1 recomend for weight loss and muscle growth

i train for 2hrs a day so it neeeds to have a high energy boost

cheers

[saidtomyself]

Kickbacks are a waste of time.

[hiphopIndians]

does that mean exercise for those who wants to get big arms

or for those having bigger arms!!!!!

plz reply!!!!!!

[GrowlingVocals]

you want muscle?you train it hard,want bigger?you train even harder....theres no division between one or another exercise,its all about how hard you train

[darkbeast23]

to get bigger arms

[trance1986]

for those who wants to have big arms

[elowe51]

both.... haha you must be a beginner. basically any exercise gaines (he performs) builds muscle. doesn't matter if you're a beginner or not. advanced workouts are basically the ones who are used to working out and 3 sets just doesn't cut it so they do more excersices.

[choiboyDC]

its all the same

depending on how much weight

you use it just helps you get bigger

[BauerHockey15]

it means to get big arms. but use less wait to get started.

[ibanez3212]

these exercises will defintitly make ur arms bigger

[donraja87]

for those who want bigger arms obviously!! anyone can do this wanting to gain on their triceps

[DeathDogg]

This will make your arms bigger, but also for people who have big arms and want bigger, the only difference is how heavy the weight is, but on Dumbbell kickbacks, do not use a heavy weight at all, even if your arms are big you WILL damage yourself within a short about of time of under 2 months.

[yeonathon]

its for people who want to get big arms

[OgJayy]

those who want them but people who have them can do this aswell

[112bhoy]

to get big arms

[slsniper098]

it dosnt matter bro...

[coolkenny13]

both ... :D

[darkbeast23]

those who want big arms

[jhfjhd]

Yes, if you truely want big arms you should aim to hit whole muscle fibres, make sure you do use light weights lots of times for your arm workouts, eg, biceps and triceps

[GetDamage]

To get big arms.

[theDrumkilla]

It's to get big arms.

[127Greshicus]

They are good exercises to work your triceps in order to get bigger arms

You can adjust the weight :-)

[Sigbot]

It's for both. If you wanna get bigger arms, you progress with adding more weight, and even if you have big arms, you can still do these in a superset for the tris to get maximum tension, those are really good workouts, I do 2/3 of them, I never did this last one, so I'mma try with that aswell

[mamimooz]

For those who want, and for those who have ;D

[Packman20]

for those who want big arms.

[PatrickBrozovic]

IT's for everybody

[o6dude]

u should start doing just 1 tricep exercise every 2 days so ur muscles get used to training for like 3-5 weeks and then u should do this (3 exercises)

[MMAisLife617]

the exercises r to get biggers arms bro 2/3 of your upper arm is made up by your tricep and in some cases 3/4 but my point is if u want big arms work your triceps mad hard and u will get results

[deons93]

rofl to get big arms. lol ino the title is confusing but yea....

[aaxtubes]

for those who have tiny arms

[rikop9]

duuuuuuuh for those who want to get bigger arms... but it doesn't matter anyways- anyone can do it

[metalshredder849]

its an either or situation, if u dont know what it means, it can go either way. for beginners start with a small weight, but work your way up, but i'd say only up to 20lbs for the last one. the first one really does work, but you should also consider doing triceps dips, w.e u wanna call'em

[44popen44]

it means to get big arms m8 also watch his biecep workout 2 becouse u need to workout the bieceps and trieceps m8

[danutzbest]

to get big arms...

[flamechane8]

how long of a break between sets would u recommend?

[saiyansnake]

60 - 90 secs

[LacedChucks]

30 sec

[Thor23x]

Not long man try and make sure your taking as little rest as possible to really get a nice burn in.

[DeathDogg]

no more then 30 seconds.

[will01819]

30 seconds to a min between reps and 2 to 3 min between sets. try to alternate the workouts that work different parts of the muscle.

[o6dude]

i would recommend about 1 minute

[lordOFbrooklyn]

45 seconds to 2 minutes is ideal for mass workouts

[flickyflicky007]

i have been doing weights for years and i usually have 30 second to 1 minute breaks

[battlefield2movies]

If you use heavy weights 1-3 minutes...and not so heavy 30-60 sec ;)

[benjiet123]

i find it 100% more effective if on the last workout you twist your arm in the movement so when your arm is extended your palm of your hand is facing the roof...:)

[casualtyarmy87]

i do this all the time, good exercise

[Svt900]

Wheres skull crusher and close grip bench which is the best mass builder for tricep.. These workout are great also but not a good mass builder

[Doggeyo]

nice control up and nice control down :P

[weathered79]

i do 4 tricep exercises per workout twice a week am i overdoing it and i don't diet so is it natural for it to take longer to see results when i flex my arms i can see the muscles and shape but when i relax my arms they look normal but i am getting a lot stronger

[acab1989acab]

its ok to do 2 trainings of arms per week, but just be sure that minimum time between the trainings be 3 days.

its very hard to make ur muscles look contracted all the time, so don`t worry about it....

Also try working out all muscle groups equally every week, don`t just do arms or chests or something else to mush.

[mikeplayboy]

u might be overtraining...if u think about it ur are already doing triceps when doing presseing exercises on chest and shoulders so i limit my arm workouts to whenever i have a chance but no more than twice a week. i got 17" arms relaxed

[PingPongM51]

diet and nutrition is very important, you gotta eat to help repair your body, because if you dont eat your not repairing and then you dont build any muscle

[will01819]

try to keep at least 5 days in between working the same muscle. the most important part of muscle building is rest. working out the same muscles too much is worse than not working out.

[rhoadsrox]

you answered your own question there aha if you get stronger its working, if you want it to work faster eat smarter and consciously time it around your workout sessions

[Jamieh321]

he missed close grip bench press

[Bodybuddha]

this guy has very good triceps so il try that out. thanks for the tips.

[Sleevesboi012]

for an exercise to be a shaper/toner means for the exercise to have low weights and high reps. this give your muscle a better look, it won't make the muscle bigger but it'll make it look more cut and shaped.

[rockardross]

no low body fat creats more "cut and shape"

[RoboTheMonkey]

thank you! i can't tell you enough how much it bothers me when someone says 'i'm doing this to tone my muscle'.

[ballerketballer]

you get cut and ripped and shaped, by doing low weights / high reps, weight training,

and calestenics.

you can have low bodyfat and still be a skinny shit,. yet you wont be cut and shape.

get real,

[Jacobsen26]

what does it mean for an exercise to be a shaper/toner?

[Mrmagiccity27]

guessin it mean's to define your muscles better. As in, add cuts and whatnot

[mikec933]

no such thing, doing cardio and cutting calories is what tones you, shape is determind by genetics

[whatnub]

it just means your trying to tone your body so arms have "curves" and it shows the muscle really defined its more of a aesthetic thing you dont build any muscle.

for a shaper/toner it will probably also build endurance

[sk8erguy4life]

Less weight, More rep's...it burns the fat and worksout that area lightly

[shadowmurderer312]

this guys arms are bigger then MY LEGS!

[bsdanielm]

"this guys arms are bigger then MY LEGS!"

(hahaha) Dont let that worry you.........there are other people out there who have the same issue (like myself).

[IAMSO1FIT]

i really need to get into weights again

[massgilms]

is it best to workout different muscle groups each day (ie: biceps and triceps one day and chest and back another?). can someone give me an example of what their week workout consists of?

[YouAteMyChicken]

The best are full body workouts 3 times per week. Workout 1 could consist of

Power Clean 3x5

Squats 3x5

Barbell Rows 3x8

Wide Grip Chins 3x10

Weighted Situps 3x12

[kimbooooooooooo]

sit ups are useless. trying using an exercise ball with weights to do ur abs. works much better : )

[Lott40]

you forgot the deadlift!!!!!!!

[hangwitme]

yes it is if your workout is intense, meaning heavy weights that you can only do 6-8 reps with.

[outfoxed2006]

using heavy weight doesnt mean you're going to get big, its actually using a weight that you can lift with perfect form... high weight with fewer unclean reps tends to build more strength than size

[docota88]

Actually supersets or more of lossing more calories and are a great pump system to use

[gibber555]

isolation movements, such as pulldowns or skull crushes seem to make the certain muscle grow(tricep), faster than a tricep superset. i find supersets dont do much for me, as they only tone. but if thats what your looking for, go for it :)

[youngb1ood]

i want his arms!!!

[papercut197]

i have those same dumbells

[ButRinT7]

wow I do that Too in my training, its not easy how that looks.......?Its very hard!!!But it Makes Muscels!

[forumreader1]

I have problem with exercise. When I exercises, I feel dizzy and can't continued exercises, do I need to take supplements for it? I been lifting weight for 1 month and half, little gain muscles. I'm start to giving up and not trying. it's just my Genetics or I can't gain weight? no matter how much I eat or how much food i consume in my body, I hasn't gain weight.

[AndersonChan84]

good video. i will definitely use these in my weight training routine

[cdbrunningback]

hehe his says light weight, ronnie coleman 8 time mr. olympia does over 100 pounds when he does this the first one, for sets and reps over 10 haha

[drshredz]

I'm sorry this will not make your arms big. Weighted chin-ups, weighted dips and heavy close grip bench presses will!

[alpha867]

nice

[embodymentaz]

great tricep workout

[jason75]

what if u dont have the rope and the universal machine...

[phili878]

finally someone that is not on a weekly 1500ml of dura textron with big arms that knows what he is saying and doing... A+ for shape fit videos

[weathered79]

so thats what i was doing wrong on the two hand dumbbell all the other vids the elbows where out glad i saw this because it's the only dumbbell tricep excersise i can do

[EbopAllDay]

he said the last exercise is to shape the tricep so it should be down at the end of your workout, but what if you did it at the start or the middle of your workout?

[hangwitme]

hmmm i actually gained mass from doing the last exercise. did it for about 3 weeks and it's very effective. my triceps were already toned then but that exercise actually made them bigger which is nice

[Quarker99]

whenever i do the last one i always hear some small cracks from my bones/joints, any tips?

[sabbby17]

i know you can't work out your joints really, but is there anyway to increase wrist size or elbow size? what about neck?

[1dlfrgv]

I began doing the triceps kickback about 2 months ago and I have really noticed the difference on the definition of my triceps.

[HammerPowered]

It's my opinion through experience that tricep kickbacks are pretty much a worthless exercise. They're hard on the elbows and even the shoulders. Rope pushdown/pulldowns and overhead extensions are good "secondary exercises", but the way to mass in the triceps is through things like dips and close grip bench pressing.

Also, the terms "shaping" and "toning" don't belong in muscle building - again, just an opinion - because the muscle either grows or it doesn't.

[EbopAllDay]

you said that last exercise is made for shapening and should be used in your last set, but what if i used this at the beginning or middle or my triceps workout?

would i still gain muscle?

[xyz1232005]

If u want to add an extra set of exercise then trying french press in the second place is a nice option.

[rapinNtapin]

he said rope pushdowns??? I thought they were called rope pulldowns?

[dustinas]

good video

[MasterLink1234]

Thanks for vid, it helps

[postbreak]

Thanks for this video, really helped me out.

[luigi12356]

i'm a boxer and would this aid me for training?

[ThornOfTheDawn]

well i think u would want to work on explosive force, as that would help u puch faster and harder, because too much strength and muscle mass would slow u down

[eddie2593]

yeah course bigger triceps faster punches

(triceps extend your arm, biceps contract)

[hangwitme]

not really. depends on how you trained them; for mass or for explosiveness and besides mass sometimes makes you slower. just pointing out. peace

[mikasddd]

punching power doesent really come from your tricep

[YOmanLALALALA]

boxer still need trainning im a boxer and i REALLY NEED TRAINNING!

[Bly86]

What do you think? Think you could punch harder if you had a stronger upper body? Yea I think so.

[LTthomas11]

Depends on your definition of strength. Having big muscles doesnt mean your going to hit harder than a smaller guy. Im not really that big of a guy probably about 170lbs but i have more power in my punches than most big guys at my gym.

[LiifeGoesOn96]

preferrably for a great balance of strength and physique, for your first set you do 12. second you do 10. and third you do 8. too more reps gives more physique, and less reps with heavy wait gives you more bulk

[robisback3186]

harshhedge try doing DIPS a rep range of about 6-8. Next Step: EAT EAT and EAT some more

[lyoagy]

for mass building you want to do low reps of weights near your mass but dont just do that. be sure to mix it up. if you hit a plateau do some other things like failure sets

[sk8erflip4]

Can your muscles get sore even if youve hit a plateau? please respond

[slowmode122]

yes they can

[harshhegde]

Dude i badly want to bulk up my tricep. Which workout is the best for mass building?

[1dlfrgv]

Do the dumbbell tricep extensions. I have used these and they have really helped add mass to my triceps!

[matperry65]

close grip bench press or skull crushers

[GuitaristJesse2442]

rope pull downs

[xXdaimpostaXx]

i would say skull crushers and close grip bench because it allows u to use more weight which means more gain...

[CanadaUSAlliance]

if u wanna wanna gain mass, why don't u do supersets instead of regular sets, do this if u are well experienced.

[Fabregas414]

wats a super set?

[sellis235]

doing two different exercises, one after the other.

[VolumeLowHigh]

increasing the weights but with lesser reps..

[sa7el]

superset is to do biceps n triceps.. then rest.. then biceps n triceps,, then rest.. n then again biceps n triceps.. n done.. that's called superset..

[anthonybz]

it is where you do two exercises without rest rather than one. for example a wworkout has say 4 excercises incline bench decline bench bicep curls and flys you would do incline bench then imediatly do decline bench then rest then do curls and flys rest etc. hope thhis helps

[dusd0]

look it up and find out

[BxVenom2950]

Heavy-er weight

[Mephisto1616]

a super set is for example,when you do bench press set,right away go to do other exercise for chest without any pause

[quargon]

A superset is basically doing one exercise after another without a break, supersets should only consist of 2 exercises then a break then another superset etc..

[yofavcracka]

A superset is 2 seperate exercises done without any rest inbetween.

[Mawerico]

super set is when you mix 2 (or maybe more) diferent exercises in 1 set for 1 same muscle (for example triceps)

but i dont think it alwas will gain mainly mass.. :P

[yofavcracka]

A super set is two exercises performed right after eachother with no rest. Basically it causes you to push yourself harder

[MatsudaShun]

It's a back to back work out where u perform exercises targeting opposite muscles or opposite movements. Like a pulling and pushing exercise; bench press and back row. Or a bicep workout and tricep workout. Do it almost immediately and lesser rest period.

[GrEaTeSt786]

back to back excersies meaning no rest in between each excercise

[bigtomw87]

its where you do 2 exercises one straight after the other without rest

[mixuletz]

for example :

1st - a 10kg dumbell and 10 reps

2nd - a 15kg dumbell and 15 reps

etc.. or you can do a descending one for ripping .. the ones i said are for mass

[dietaryfiber15]

its hard to explain but for EXAMPLE: incline bench with dumbells; do a set of regular bench press with a set of dumbells, and right after that (no rest) switch to chest fly position and do a set of that, and that's a poor explanation but yeah

[Jakeblood240]

Are you supposed to focus on one muscle group per workout? Or mix up chest, arms, shoulders in one workout say?

Anyone?

[jelleyman123]

very useful..thanx for posting :)

[ArnoldisMyNigga]

the best way to build triceps? just use variety and see what works for you. everyone's body is different.

[RedTie2K7]

how many reps is a set?

[donkeydickkk]

errr...i dont really know wut ur asking, but one set can have anywhere from 1 rep to infinity reps...if that makes sence? ex first set =5 reps, second set - 10 reps, third set u go 12 sets

[Jgalea]

12 reps should be enough ;)

[Thedudeatemydick]

well, it depends on the weight ofc.. but like 8-12 reps and then 2 sets is quit normal..

[FuckUSAEmpire]

The last exercise is the best one to work your tricep. With the right weight, you feel the tricep well worked the day after.

[manatarms997]

I've been working at it for a while personally i find bodyweight exercises are by far the best exercises. CLOSE GRIP PUSH UPS PERFECT FORM(back straight, nose to the ground) NUFF SAID. If there not hard enough strap weight to you back.

[godzilla1234567890]

nice like how he shows how to do it the most i could do is 120 in tricep dumbbell extension the key is if u dont wanna get big use what hes using, but more weight is what builds mass u never wanna make it too easy unless ur cutting up

[bounce559]

hey man those are the better triceps excersises to get em in a good shape and bigger..way to go!

[Sowden29]

15 i think

[DaRealJSlim]

looks like a 20 or perhaps even 25

[angrygunsmith]

when i do the kickback my shoulder muscles fatigue, also i want to use this as more of a primary workout. please reply

[usulkane]

15 or 20 at most

[maxtor80]

Does anybody know or can give an estimate what size dumbbell he's using in the tricep kickback?

[guayacan07]

that looks like a 40

[maxtor80]

thanks

[snowrida07]

no way thats a 40 dude its like a 15 or 20 at most

[mayonnaise85]

yea i'd say 20, but it doesnt matter what he's using, just whatever is good for u

[gizmoaids]

I'm 1/4 his size and I do 50 for that so I mean he could easily pull off way more than me lol

[hayabusa3464]

great ! thanx

[killthesmurfs52]

Very nice video. Thanks alot.

[Gzpninja]

9-12 sets every body part per week is good enough?

[jingeshan24]

theoreticlly yes but you have to do exserseses that will isolate the muscle that you wanna train.

this way you can gain muscle more quicklly.

[theways07]

depends on what goes for you. I'll take myself as an example. I feel that doing how many times isn't important. So, what I do is I set a time for the things I do. like, 1 minute x how many repeats, so I can make sure that my muscles are working to the amount I desire. I hope it helps. good luck!

[daaz102]

thnx A LOT MATE

nice v nice
