Triceps push-ups
- For this exercise, also known as triceps dips , you only need a chair, a bench, a sofa or a step and you’re ready.
- Make sure to keep your butt and lower back close to the chair (or whatever object you use) to maximize the benefits of this exercise.
- Perform 10 repetitions.
Push-ups
- Start on all fours with your hands on the floor, slightly wider than vertically with your shoulders, but in line with them.
- The body should form a straight line from the shoulders to the ankles.
- Tighten your abs as much as possible and keep them tight.
- Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor, making sure your elbows are tucked close to your torso.
- Pause and return to the starting position.
- Do 20 repetitions.
Dumbbell Triceps Kick
- First hold a weight or dumbbell in each of your hands ensuring a proper grip.
- When you are in a standing position, bend your knees making sure your back is absolutely straight and bend your front.
- The front of the body should be parallel to the ground and the arms should be closer to your sides like a 90 degree stance between the forearm and upper arm.
- Your shoulders should be intact at your sides, as you extend your arms toward the back and feel the contraction in your triceps and arms.
- Maintain the same position for a while and return to the starting point. Make sure you don’t swing your hands.
- Try to do at least 20 repetitions.

- keep your spine neutral and do not bend your lower back. The hands should be straight under the shoulders.
- Now bend your elbows back while raising your arms to the sides of your chest (shoulder blades should be pulling towards each other).
- Slowly lower the weights with a controlled movement and feel the tension in your triceps.
- Repeat 15 times.
