Triceps exercises
26 movements — how to perform them, what they train, and the mistakes to avoid.
Elbow extension — two thirds of your upper arm. Overhead variations stretch the long head, pushdowns and close-grip pressing bias the lateral and medial heads.
8 of these need no equipment at all — see the bodyweight library for the full list across every muscle.
