When wanting to build big arms, it may be tempting to favour biceps moves over those exercises that focus on the triceps, but this isn’t the right approach. Thats because the triceps make up about two thirds of your upper arm musculature so you cant afford to ignore this muscle if you want to add size. Dips are one of the best moves to target all three parts of the triceps muscles, as well as being great for working the lower chest, shoulders and your core which you must keep tight to prevent your lower body swinging.
How to do it:
- Grip parallel bars, keep your body upright.
- With your elbows pointing straight back, lower your body as far down as your can comfortably go with out stressing your shoulders.
- Keep your core braced and don’t swing your legs for momentum.
- Push back up strongly and return to the start.
