In this complete guide to bicep workouts, I’ll give you an overview of bicep muscle anatomy, and show you the best bicep exercises and workouts for every region of the biceps muscles regardless of what equipment you have at your disposal.
The best tricep workout should target all 3 heads of the triceps, put the long head on stretch and make sure to hit overlapping strength curves. Here is how to workout triceps to accomplish this: • Close Grip Pin Press • Cable Triceps Pushaway • Drag Pushdown • Rocking Triceps Pushdown • Lying Triceps Extension with EZ Curl Bar
You should do 3-5 tricep exercises per training session, making sure to choose exercises that hit all 3 heads of the triceps, put the long head of the triceps on stretch, and hit overlapping strength curves.
The best tricep exercise is the Lying Triceps Extension because it can be done with either dumbbells or a barbell and allows for progressive overload. Also, if we use an EZ curl bar for this exercise, it is much safer for the wrists and elbows if we angle the arms back 20-30 degrees in the end position of this exercise.
