Triceps: Volume and Tone

⁉️ Comments

The triceps makes up about two-thirds of the upper arm's volume, yet most people pay far less attention to it than to the biceps. This workout changes that: 15 exercises on FISIO suspension straps target the triceps specifically, building noticeable size and lasting tone without axial load on the spine.

The program is designed for an intermediate fitness level. You will work through forearm extensions at various angles, pressing movements, and multi-joint exercises in which the triceps acts as the primary mover. Alternating the areas under load between sets helps maintain high movement quality throughout the entire workout.

  • Perform each exercise through a full range of motion — this is what provides the maximum stimulus for growth.
  • Keep an eye on elbow position: they should not flare out to the sides during extensions.
  • The angle of your body relative to the straps regulates the load — the closer to vertical, the easier.
  • Rest between sets: 45–90 seconds depending on how you feel.

The workout suits both men looking to build size and women who want to tone the back of their arms. Train 2–3 times per week, giving your muscles 48 hours to recover between sessions.
