The benefits of the triceps

1. Men can exercise to make their arms stronger and protect their shoulder joints; women can exercise to get rid of butterfly sleeves and make their arms slimmer.

2. It will help with the power of punching, pushing the opponent away, and blocking defensive actions. The triceps are mainly responsible for punching in a fight, and mainly straight punches and back punches (not just this muscle). The stronger your triceps are, the faster your arm can go from bending to straightening, which can be roughly understood as faster punching speed.

How to train triceps

1. Triceps push-ups

The distance between the palms is short, which increases the use of the triceps in the arms.

a. The starting position is the same as the basic push-up, but the arms are pulled inward and down, close to the body. Keep your legs together and support yourself with your toes touching the ground. Keep your torso upright and your chest tight.

b. Use the strength of your triceps and core to perform the movement.

c. Lower your body straight down until your shoulders and elbows are at the same level, with your chest touching the floor. Then push your body straight up to the "peak contraction" position and pause. Maintain your body position as you push yourself up until your arms are straight.

2. Diamond push-ups

The closer the palms are, the more your triceps are used. This move is more difficult than the previous one.

a. Take the basic push-up position, bring your palms close together and place them under your chest. Put your thumbs and index fingers together to form a triangle or diamond shape.

b. Stand straight, bend your arms and bring your elbows close to your sides, using your triceps and core strength to do push-ups. Keep your elbows as close to your sides as possible, and your body in a straight line, without any protrusions or depressions. Then straighten your body and return to the starting position to complete one repetition.

c. If your triceps are not strong enough at the beginning, you can kneel down with your lower body and train gradually.
