It's not hard to build big triceps guys. Especially when training with heavy compound movements like the bench press. But, there are some key components to triceps training that if not executed properly can hold back your otherwise EXPLOSIVE growth! Tip #1 – You Need To ISOLATE Your Triceps
This is a no-brainer, right? Well, just hold on a minute. Of course, you knew I was going to talk about isolating the triceps, otherwise, I would just tell you that flat and incline presses are enough.
Well, they’re NOT! You WILL however, make great gains training with just big compound movements when you’re a complete beginner.
But if after a year or so your triceps stop growing (or any other muscle group for that matter), you WILL HAVE to isolate them and force them to grow.
Having said that, by isolating your triceps, I do NOT necessarily mean you have to perform isolation-type movements like the Triceps Kickback or the Cable Pushdown.
You still need to OVERLOAD your triceps by picking exercises like a Close-Grip Bench Press, Dips, or a Powerbomb, which are going to be much more beneficial to you.
So if you haven’t already, check out my article called “THE ONLY TWO TRICEPS EXERCISES YOU NEED FOR GROWTH” and give that workout routine a shot on your next arm day.
Tip #2 – Do NOT Flare Your Elbows!
Now this one is IMPORTANT because it can be applied to all triceps exercises.
Let’s take the Close-Grip Bench Press for example! Regardless of your grip width, if you start flaring your elbows out, you’re turning the exercise into a standard bench press. The issue here is that as soon as dudes get on a bench, they get upset if they’re not un-racking as much weight as possible.
It’s a CLOSE-GRIP Bench Press, the weight SHOULD be less than a standard bench press. The entire range of motion is different and when Close-Grip Pressing, the barbell for the most part stays over your torso as you press the weight up.
Also, your elbows should be tucked in against your sides and be located directly under your wrists.
What usually happens is as soon as fatigue sets in, instead of just racking the weight we get stubborn and try to push through the reps…which normally is ok, but only if you can keep your elbows tucked. If not, they will flare out and you’ll start bench pressing without realizing it.
Even on an exercise like a V-Bar Push-Down, if you start flaring OUT your elbows, then that particular exercise immediately turns into a more chest and front-delt dominant movement that resembles the bench press.
