Building Triceps – 6 Simple But Extremely Effective Tricep Building Tips!

Do you want to have huge arms? Contrary to popular belief, the tricep is the largest musclein the arm taking up almost double the size that the bicep does. This means that to grow massive arms, building your triceps effectively is a necessity.
If you’re interested in building triceps to be proud of, then read and implement the following 6 simple but effective tips:

Don’t train your chest and your triceps on the same day:

When training your chest, a large proportion of the load is placed upon your triceps. If you work your tricep straight after working your chest, you will not be able to hit them with the same intensity you usually would and you will not see optimal growth in your triceps. Try to leave at least a 48 hours gap between training your chest and your triceps.

Use compound exercises:

Compound exercises have proven to be the best overall mass builders for the majority of muscle groups in the body. Hitting your triceps with exercises such as close grip bench presses and dips are far more effective than skull-crushers and other isolation exercises.

Don’t overtrain:

Without a doubt, the biggest underlying problem causing lack of muscle growth in men today is overtraining. Remember that your tricep is also hit hard when doing a lot of chest and shoulder exercises. A good rule of thumb is to make sure you do no more than 18 sets of direct and indirect tricep movements throughout each week.

Utilize weighted dips:

I’ve already explained that compound exercises are extremely effective at forcing your muscles to grow. A fantastic and underused compound exercise for the tricep are weighted dips. Keeping the body vertical and at a right angle to the floor helps hit the tricep even harder.

Keep your reps low and your weight high:

Another common mistake is to train the tricep muscle in a high rep range. Muscle tissue responds best to heavy weight and rep ranges between 6 – 10 reps, this is no exception for the tricep.

SQUAT:

Unknown to many, squatting doesn’t just produce great gains in your thighs and buttocks but in fact throughout your entire body. Because the squat is such an intense and demanding exercise, your body in turn releases large quantities of muscle building hormones which aid in building your triceps as well as every other muscle group in your body. I recommend squatting at least once every week.

There you go, implement all 6 of these tips foroptimal tricep gains.

7 Reasons Why You’re Not Building Muscle

1. Underestimating your calorie consumption. Calorie consumption is the solution to most hardgainers problems in building muscle. Yousimply cannot assume that you’re eating enough calories by casually keeping a mental note of what you’ve eaten throughout the day,you have to record down on pen and paper what foods you’ve consumed. 2. Not eating the right ratio of carbohydrates, protein and fats. The optimum ratio of carbs, protein and fats is 50%, 30% and 20% respectively. This ratio will provide the optimum level for synthesizing protein into muscle mass. 3. Not drinking enough water.

The 7 Steps You Should Take to Guarantee Muscle Growth

Before you actually start bodybuilding you should decide what you want to do. A few years ago I made the mistake of just jumping in and working out with no end in mind. I wound up wasting my time, even though there were some gains they were not enough for me and the funny thing is I did not even know what it was I wanted. I heard a saying once, it went like this: “The road to somewhere goes to a town called nowhere”. To you and me this means that if we go to the gym without knowing what it is that we want to get out of it, we wont get anywhere. There is a technique that will guarantee that you will build more muscle on your body if youstick to it, so here it is (I actually can’t guarantee it because 99% of the results depend on YOU). 1. Decide Decide what you want to get, be specific, for example “I want to gain 20 lbs of lean muscle mass” (9 kgs ac...
