There are many exercises you can do to build up the triceps. Some examples: Dips Close Grip Bench Press Overhead tricep press Tricep push-downs Diamond pushups
There are many exercises that you can use. For instance push-ups, bench press with barbell or dumbbells (flat bench, incline and decline), dumbbell flyes, dips, cable crossovers, peck deck flyes, etc.
Bench dips are where you support your weight with your arms behind you grasping a bench. You then lower yourself and then back up again, locking out your elbows. This is a triceps workout.
Work out your triceps consistently. Do about 3 sets of dips or some tricep related exercise and your bench press should go up significantly. Mine went up drastically by 15 pounds.
You can try * Dumbbell press * Dumbbell flies * Pec dec flies * Cable cross overs * Push ups * Parallel Bar dips All the above exercises work out the chest or the pectoral muscles. Note: Bench Press is the most basic or rather the best exercise for muscular development in the chest area.
Close grip bench is probably the best triceps exercise on the planet. This exercise allows you to go heavy and put maximum stress on the one muscle besides the pecs that can help increase your bench. You want to set up like a regular bench press, but position your hands no wider than shoulder width. On the descent, you want to keep your elbows in; do not let your elbows drift away from your body like you would with a regular bench press. At the bottom of the movement, you want the bar to come to the lower portion of your chest; at the top of the movement, the bar should be over your upper chest
The 2 best chest exercises in my most humble opinion are the bench press and weighted dips. These are compound exercises. As for isolation exercises, one may also want to try doing flyes with dumbbells and a pec deck machine. The bench press, which is one of the Big Five Barbell lifts has variations such as the incline and decline bench press which hit the chest muscles at different angles.
Pecs: try some dumbell flys, decline bench press, incline bench press, flat bench press, dips, and push ups.Abs: crunches, sit ups, leg raises, Hindu push ups, plank, and dips.Tricep: (If you want big arms you will want to train your triceps twice as hard as your biceps because your triceps take up 2/3 of your arm). dips, tricep extentions, close grip barbell curls, close grip push ups, and any pushing exercise.Bicep: concentration curls, hammer curls, alternating curls, standing curls, etc.I'm 14 and I do all of these and I"m ripped. I have a total 6 pack, massive pecs, huge arms, but I don't take stereroids.
Almost their just work on your benching because you need to at least bench your body weight.
A good muscle building workout to do 3 times a week at the gym would be 1 set of 8-10 reps of each of the following: barbell squats, leg extensions, lying leg curls, dumbbell pullovers, military press, seated cable rows, barbell bench press, barbell curls, pull-ups, bench dips, standing calf raises and crunches.
Simple push ups essentially work the same muscle group as the bench press. If you need more weight for the exercise, you can elevate your feet while doing the push ups on a chair or ottoman, or if you feel really strong you can balance your body vertically on the wall upside down and press yourself up and off the floor vertically. Any other arm exercises in combination with push-ups will help build your upper body evenly. You can do dips using a chair and stool. Curls with a heavy household item. Just stay creative, stretch, eat healthy, incorporate cardio and warm up, and always use safety.
