Iron Arms Triceps
If you want the body of the top male and female athletes, you’ve got to complete the same fitness strength training exercises as them. The Iron Arms Triceps exercise is a popular workout that can lead to a great upper body. Try this killer workout, building up gradually, until you can rock the whole routine without taking any breaks.
Fitness equipment needed for this workout:
- Bench
- Medicine Ball
Iron Arms Triceps exercise instructions:
1.) Between 4 to 10 repetitions on each arm of Arm Lock Offs {minimize your knee contact with the ground}
Rest for 3 to 5 minutes initially, reducing the resting time as you progress
2.) Between 4 to 10 repetitions for Crossover (5 on each side)
Rest
3.) Between 4 to 10 repetitions for Closed Grip Push-ups
Rest
4.) Between 4 to 10 repetitions for Drop and Returns
You must finish all of the reps to successfully complete the Iron Arms Triceps Challenge.
While this workout also works your chest and shoulders, you will feel the most improvement in your triceps. This a popular strength challenge for athletes: most men perform these exercises on the floor, most women use a bench. For the first couple of weeks, even elite athletes rest in-between the reps and touch their knees to the ground.
This is a great finisher for an upper-body pushing workout. If you can repeat multiple sets of this protocol with little or no rest, then, my friend, you have Iron Arms!
