Fitness weight training is a great way to get your body in shape, and allows you to focus on particular areas. Your triceps can benefit from focused techniques, especially with the use of a Smith machine. Using a straight bar, attach it to the upper clip of the machine. With your back straight, position your hands firmly on each end and position your elbows next to your sides. With a smooth movement, push the bar down to mid thigh and then back up, working through 10 to 15 repetitions. Repeat this through at three sets, steadily increasing the weight each time.
Take a rest inbetween sets for at least a few seconds, then repeat. You can mix this up by using an alternate technique during your total workout. As part of your weight training regimen, take a dumbell of weight that you can handle and position the end in both hands. Lift it carefully over your head and position your elbows by the sides of your head. With your back straight, lift the dumbell till the end is above your head and then down to shoulder level. Repeat this with 10 to 15 repetitions for two to three sets.
By trading up the kinds of exercises that you do on your triceps, you can start to build serious muscle while keeping your workout interesting. It also prevents your muscles from getting “used to” any one exercise, which increases the effectiveness of your time and hard work.
