Strength Training Exercises:

Reverse-Grip Pressdown: Sets: 3 Reps: 10-15
Attach a stirrup handle to a high cable pulley and stand a few feet back which grasping the handle with your palm facing up. Keeping your upper arm locked to your side, and your wrist locked and steady throughout the movement, exhale while contracting your triceps to press the handle down to your side. Lock out your elbow at the bottom of the movement and really squeeze the muscle before slowly bringing the handle back to the start position.

	Lying French Press: Sets: 3 Reps: 10-15 Lay on a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor and lower back pressed firmly into the bench. Grasping an EZ-bar with an overhand grip, begin the movement with yor arms extended straight above your body. Slowly lower the weight by bending at the elbows, keep your upper arms steady as the bar travels toward your forehead. Reverse directions be contracting your triceps to power the bar back up, extending your arms and squeezing your triceps.
	Dumbbell Kickback: Sets: 3 Reps: 10-15 Performing dumbbell kickbacks simultaneously will carve out the lateral and medial heads of the triceps. This exercise if often performed one side at a time using a flat bench, however doing them together ensures you do not twist or tweak your torso like you tend to do if you single them out. Grasping a pair of dumbbells, lean forward with your knees slightly bent, back flat and abs tight. Pin your upper arms to your sides, keeping them there throughout the movement to better isolate the tri's. Allowing the weights to hang straight down at the start, kick them back and up while slightly turning your palms. The muscles are fully contracted when your palms are straight, and briefly hold the peak contraction before slowly lowering the weights to the start.
	Pressdown: Sets: 3 Reps: 10-15 After attaching a straight bar to the high cable pulley, stand a few feet away from the stack and bend forward slightly at your waist, maintaining a flat back and a stable stance. Use an overhand grip with your hands 4-5 inches apart, locking your arms to your sides. Press the bar down toward your thighs while exhaling, locking out at the bottom and squeezing your tri's. Then slowly allow your hands to come back up, resisting the pull of the weight on the negative portion of the movement. Don't allow your hands to come up too high on the return, which can reduce the tension on your triceps and lesson the effectiveness of the movement. Come up only as high as your chest, making each repetition slow and deliberate.
