Triceps to toned, muscular and symmetrical arms!

You may already know that your triceps make up more of your arm than your biceps do, yet most people still decide to focus more of their attention on training their biceps and less attention on training their triceps.

As depicted in the word triceps meaning three heads, this muscule group is comprised of the long head, lateral head, and medial head.


Long Head
The most inner head, located on the back of your arm next to your back.
Lateral Head
The head located closest to the outside of the body.
Medial Head
The smallest of the three heads, located deep and between the long and lateral heads.
