If you ask the average guy about arm training, he's likely to talk all about biceps exercises. He'll tell you what kinds of curls are best, how much he can curl, and the HUGE pump he got in his biceps the last time he worked out. You know, bro stuff. While training biceps is all well and good and essential to getting a big pair of arms, your triceps workout is what really matters. The triceps make up two thirds of the upper arm, and they are responsible for producing crushing strength in pressing movements like the bench press. Follow this routine if you really want your arm development to take off!
1. Close-Grip Bench Press
A lot of bodybuilders like to start their triceps workout with some kind of extension like a skull crusher or press-down, but I prefer the close-grip bench. Much like the bench press is best for chest training, nothing puts mass on the back of your arms and gives you that horseshoe shape like the close-grip bench.
