Triceps Exercise Animations

A wide-hand push-up that shifts most of the load onto one bending arm while the far arm stays long and nearly straight.

A seated dumbbell press that starts with the palms facing you and rotates them forward as the weight goes overhead.

Supine alternating-arm swimming where body roll lets the large back muscles pull while a flutter kick holds position.

A standing overhead press driven by a resistance band anchored under both feet, with tension rising toward lockout.

A standing lat isolation that pulls high-anchored bands to the hips with nearly straight elbows.

A hinged elbow-extension drill standing on a looped band, isolating the triceps through a full lockout.

The classic horizontal press for chest, triceps, and front-delt strength — the cornerstone of every push day.

An Olympic lift that cleans the bar from the floor to the shoulders, then jerks it overhead to a locked finish.

A narrow-grip horizontal press that loads the triceps hard while still working the chest — the heaviest triceps lift in the gym.

A supine barbell press from the floor that stops the elbows at ground level, cutting range and loading the lockout.

A steep-incline barbell press around 60 degrees that pushes most of the load into the upper chest and front shoulders.

The 30-to-45-degree incline press that builds the upper chest, front delts, and triceps — the second pillar of any push day.

The standing strict press from shoulders to overhead — the gold-standard test of pure shoulder strength and bracing.

A lying elbow-extension lift on a flat bench, lowering a barbell toward the forehead then pressing it back to lockout.

An overhead barbell press with the bar racked behind the neck, demanding full shoulder and thoracic mobility.

A bodyweight triceps dip off a bench or chair that builds arm pushing strength — the go-to home and hotel-room arm exercise.

A push-up with hands raised on a bench or box that scales the difficulty down — the cleanest beginner push-up regression.

A push-up done from the knees that drops the load — the first regression that lets beginners actually train the push pattern.

A standing barbell press that cycles the bar from the front of the neck to behind it, keeping constant tension on the delts.

Simultaneous double-arm swimming timed to a dolphin kick, with the body undulating around the hips through every cycle.

A standing triceps pushdown using a straight bar attachment — the most efficient way to isolate the triceps with cables.

A bench-supported cable press that trains the chest and triceps with smooth, constant tension through the full press.

A standing cable press that trains the chest, triceps, and front delts through a horizontal push pattern with constant tension.

A decline cable press performed on a bench that targets the lower chest with smooth constant tension.
