Body Tricep Press

What is Body Tricep Press? The body tricep press is a bodyweight exercise that targets the triceps, the muscles located on the back of the upper arm. It is a great bodyweight exercise for strengthening and toning the triceps without the need for equipment.

Tutorial

1. Start by sitting on a sturdy chair or bench with your hands placed on the edge of the seat, fingers facing forward.
2. Walk your feet forward, keeping your knees bent at a 90-degree angle and your feet flat on the ground.
3. Slowly slide your body off the chair while supporting your weight with your hands.
4. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
5. Push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes

• Arching your back: Keep your back straight throughout the exercise to avoid strain on your lower back.

• Flaring out your elbows: Keep your elbows close to your body to target the triceps effectively. - Not fully extending your arms: Make sure to straighten your arms completely at the top of the movement for maximum tricep engagement.

Tips for Better Results

• Focus on controlled movements: Avoid rushing through the exercise and instead, perform each rep with proper form and control.

• Engage your core: Keep your core muscles engaged throughout the exercise to stabilize your body. - Breathe properly: Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you push yourself back up.

Muscles Worked The body tricep press primarily targets the triceps brachii muscles, which are responsible for extending the elbow joint. Additionally, this exercise also engages the shoulders and core muscles for stabilization.
