I have some wonderful triceps work out plans that I want to share with you. I will provide you with one of them right now.
On Friday, I decided to try one of my new triceps work out plans that I created.
I started out doing dips using a bench with a 45 pound weight on my lap. I wanted to boost my metabolism and get my heart racing so I did 25 of them as fast as I could. I did this 3 times and just let me say one thing, WOW! After doing that my triceps just looked HUGE! That was after doing just one exercise.
After doing those dips, I grabbed a 55 pound dumbbell and did 3 sets of seated triceps extension. You can do these on a bench or on a exercise ball. To do this, you put the dumbbell behind you head, holding onto one end of it with both hands. Bring the weight straight up over your head and have your arms right next to your ears. Lower the weight to the back of your head so your elbows are at a 90 degree angle. Straighten your arms back out so the weight is over your head, and squeeze your triceps. Do not completely straighten your arms out though.
I did the triceps extensions slower so I could squeeze the most out of them. If you are trying to gain muscle mass, you want to use a heavier weight and only do 8-10 reps. If you are trying to tone your muscles and lose weight, do 12-16 reps with a lighter weight.
If you women out there are looking to lose weight, check this out!
Good luck and always stretch before you start your work out plans! Enjoy…
