Muscle: Triceps brachii

The triceps brachii, commonly known as the triceps, is a muscle located at the back of your upper arm. This muscle is made up of three parts, which is why it’s called “tri”ceps. Whenever you straighten your arm, like when you push open a door or throw a ball, your triceps are doing the work. They help you lift, push, and reach, making them essential for many everyday activities.The triceps play a crucial role in fitness and daily life. Strong triceps not only improve your arm strength but also enhance your overall upper body performance. Whether you’re doing push-ups, lifting weights, or even just carrying groceries, having strong triceps can make these tasks easier and help prevent injuries. Plus, well-developed triceps contribute to a toned appearance, which many people strive for.Ready to strengthen your triceps?
