Trainer Tip: 3 Exercises for Totally Toned Triceps!

One of the most frequent questions asked by clients and members at Lucille Roberts is, “How can I tone up the back of my arms?” I often hear some women tell me they have given up on firming this area, known as the triceps. All muscle groups of the upper body should be trained regularly for symmetry, strength, and safety, as well as for aesthetics. The triceps area, the underneath and back (posterior) part of the arm poses unique challenges for women, especially as we grow older or lose large amounts of weight. But there is hope! This three-part muscle group can be defined; however, it is not easy. It requires knowledge of how and when the different heads of the tricep muscle are fatigued. That knowledge of course must be put into practice 2 times per week for optimal results. Many studies have proven that more anabolic (cell-building, muscle-toning) hormones are released when a smaller muscle group, such as the triceps, are worked with a larger muscle group in the same workout. Often athletes will work “splits”, like chest and triceps, but any larger muscle group—such as the glutes, thighs, or back—worked on the same day will result in an increase in tricep-toning hormones.
