The tricep is a muscle on the back part of the upper arm.

The triceps are attached to the bone via tendons, the tendons that connect the triceps to the shoulder are known as proximal triceps tendons. The tendons that connect the triceps to the elbow are called the distal triceps tendons.

A triceps workout is one of the best to strenghten your upper body, and its benefits includes:

* Increase overall arm strenght, power and endurance.

*Allows you to lift heavier during other lifts like bench presses and shoulder presses.

* Imroves stability of the shoulders amd elbow joints.
