Best Triceps Exercises

The triceps make up two-thirds of upper arm mass and are responsible for elbow extension. They are critical for all pressing movements including bench press, overhead press, and dips.

The triceps brachii has three heads: long head (originates from the scapula), lateral head, and medial head (both originate from the humerus). All three insert into the olecranon process of the ulna and extend the elbow joint.
