Stick to the basics to increase your arm size in the shortest possible time. I’m referring to the lifts that provide the biggest reward for what you’ve invested. You should not waste your time in unproductive movements like 90% of the people in the gym.

Let’s talk about your triceps, which is the three muscles that are connected at the elbow and shoulder, but work in contrast to your biceps, and the forearm. In this article, I will explain how to train your triceps.

Dips are one of the best exercises a beginner can do. They will primarily work your triceps, but also your shoulders and chest too. In order to place the stress on your triceps there are a few tips you need to know. First off, dips should be done between two bars that are parallel. The starting position should look like you are standing up with two bars in your hands.

Grip the bars tightly at all times so you don’t slip. Now to begin the movement you need to lower your body toward the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides, and keeping your body as straight up and down as possible. If you lean forward it puts a lot of stress on your chest and shoulders, which isn’t a bad thing, but save it for chest day.

It is better not to lock out at the top. You will alleviate stress on your triceps if you straighten your arms. Use an assisted dip machine to counter-balance your weight if you have trouble doing dips. If your gym doesn’t have one, get a spotter to push up on your feet to help you out. When you first begin, try getting in three sets of ten repetitions by yourself.

Another compound movement that can be used to get in shape, and is like dips is a close grip bench press. The movement is similar to regular bench press. The bar needs to be gripped 8 to 12 inches apart. Grip where you feel comfortable, paying close attention to how your wrists feel. It is better to begin with about 12 inch spacing and slowly make it closer as your comfort level increases, since a closer grip increases stress on your wrists.

Keeping your elbows in close at your sides, lower the bar to just below nipple level. You don’t need to extend your arms all the way out either. You should stop just short of full lockout. This is an excellent exercise for adding mass in your triceps.

The above program is only part of an overall fitness plan, you can visit my site if you want to know more about it.
