Tight On Time Triceps Workout

Triceps Training doesn’t need to be complex, or require all day.

Say you have 20 minutes, in and out of the gym. But you gotta smoke ‘em Tris …

What to do? Alright, just about the most successful Triceps workout routines that I know on this very the world is definitely the “Dumbbell-Pullover-Triceps Press Combo”.

The Triceps Training overloads the Elbow Extensor, especially the Long Head (which quite a few call the “Lazy Head”, since it’s kind of hard to switch on) like nobody’s business. In order to make the entire thing much more efficient, we are going to combine this “Combo”-Move with some Dumbbell Triceps Extensions in one Super-Set!

Here’s exactly what you need and the way to get it done: You need 1 flat bench, and 1 dumbbell, ca. 25% of the bench press max. So if your very best bench is a 100kg, you choose a 25kg dumbbell. That’s all you need for the entire tricep muscles exercise session!

You already know dumbbell pullovers? Lay down on the flat bench, face up. Press the dumbbell up with both hands around the handle (so 1 end of the dumbbell points at the face) Don’t let go now! Or else you might have “Weider” printed on the brow, just in mirror writing! LoL!

Now, a normal Pullover means you lower the weight back over the head in the direction of the ground, after that bring it back to the commencing location, all whilst trying to keep the elbows in a fixed, approx. 30° angle. Not with this version.

Here you extend the elbows totally throughout the second part of the movement, as you approach top point. So it’s a combo of pullover and triceps push, actually. Try and hit some 15-20 reps at least, using a constant 1010 tempo (which means 1 second downward and 1 second upwards, no halt.)

When you got the correct load, repetition 20 should be difficult to do. Hold the weight up there for a 10-15 seconds breather, next it’s the cruel wrap up: You now bring down the dumbbell to one side of your noggin, bending these elbows and keeping them pointing right up (which means really the only joint moving significantly here’s the elbow, or in simple terms the forearms move, very little else). Fundamentally you’re pulling off a dumbbell tricep muscles press, only just with 1 dumbbell as opposed to two.

If you’re good, you’ll squeeze in another five reps … each side! Consequently it’s five, one more breather, and again 5, lowering the load towards the opposite side of the head. Right now a two minute respite, repeat for 2-4 more sets (3-5 sets total), completed, you’re outta there!
