How to workout your TRICEPS without weights

Let's face it everyone would like a great workout on tricep muscles for the summer.
Triceps are a very noticeable muscle that can easily be toned. Men like having big arms and 70% of your upper arm is tricep. Women like a nice tone look or would like to get rid of the bye-bye arm! Here is a way you can work those triceps without weights!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 to 2-1/2 foot high table or chair

1. First obtain your workout
   equipment or workout aid.
   You will need to find
   a chair or table.
   Usually they are about
   2 -2-1/2 feet of the ground,
   this is good because if you
   get higher your weight
   of your body will not be
   used to the maximum.

2. 
    

   Your will be performing a series of tricep dips.
   First start off with your palms of your hands on the
   table in back of you with your fingers facing foward.
   Keep your arms body width apart and your legs fully
   extended (no bending of knee's if possible). Make sure
   you are using your palms and heels to maximize the workout.
   Start dipping all the way down and extend all the way up.
   Do this 12 times for your first set.

3. 
    

   The second set of 12 reps is going to be done exactly
   the same way as the first except your arms will be about
   a foot from each side of your body. This is done to hit
   a different muscle group of your tricep (outer). Feelin
   the burn yet?

4. 
    

   The third and final set of 12 reps will again be
   done like the above steps except we want the arms
   as close to each other as possible. This again is done
   to focus on the inner part of the tricep.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not rush! Take your time and really focus on feeling the burn. When your muscles get hurt your body compensates and builds muscle! :)
• Ladies, don't worry, this is more of toning exercise. So you will not look like a man!

on 10/6/2009 Great tips! I make a deal with myself: if I take the elevator I force myself to do tricep dips on railing deal (if I'm alone). I always pray there's no elevator camera watching me get a quick workout. 5 well deserved stars.
