The triceps, or triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. It consists of three parts: the medial, lateral, and long head. [1] It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).
The lateral intermuscular septum extends from the lower part of the crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus, along the lateral supracondylar ridge, to the lateral epicondyle; it is blended with the tendon of the deltoid muscle, gives attachment to the triceps brachii behind, and to the brachialis, brachioradialis, and extensor carpi radialis longus muscles in front.
The lying dumbbell triceps extension is visually similar to a host of other exercises; pullovers, skull crushers, and even seated triceps extensions come to mind.
The three principal anthropometric measures of the upper arm are the upper arm length, the triceps skin fold (TSF), and the mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC). The triceps skin fold is the width of a fold of skin taken over the triceps muscle. It is measured using skinfold calipers.
Triceps Kickback. Why it rocks: Your triceps are important for extending your elbow, making daily movements possible like pushing yourself up from the ground or supporting your bodyweight with ...
Next is a horizontal press to primarily target your chest muscles (and a little of your triceps and shoulders). A big benefit to using dumbbells instead of a barbell is you can get a deeper ...
The triangular interval (also known as the lateral triangular space, [1] lower triangular space, [2] and triceps hiatus) is a space found in the axilla. It is one of the three intermuscular spaces found in the axillary space. The other two spaces are: quadrangular space and triangular space. [3]
Dip exercise using a dip bar. A dip is an upper-body strength exercise.Close grip dips primarily train the triceps, with major synergists being the anterior deltoid, the pectoralis muscles, and the rhomboid muscles of the back. [1]
