How to train triceps with dumbbells?

Although dumbbells are small and common, they are a very practical piece of fitness equipment. Dumbbells can train muscles in any part of the body, but if used improperly, it can also cause muscle strain. And the muscle lines will not look good. So how do you train your triceps? Next, we will introduce how to use dumbbells.

1. Lower back: Compared with barbells, lifting dumbbells can reduce the pressure on the spine. Besides, it is more comfortable to do the exercise with dumbbells. If you do straight-leg deadlift exercises with dumbbells, you can also effectively develop your biceps femoris.

2. Calf: Stand upright and do single-leg heel raises with dumbbells in hand. This is more effective than using a calf machine. You can also place the forefoot of your feet on a wooden board, place the dumbbells on your knees and do single-leg or double-leg seated calf raises.

3. Back: Compared with a barbell, doing bent-over rowing exercises with one or two dumbbells (one arm is safer for the lower back) can make the back muscles grow faster.

4. Chest: Lying on a supine bench, doing supine, incline and decline presses with dumbbells is more conducive to muscle growth than using a barbell because it can stimulate the muscles extensively and deeply.

5. Shoulders: Various forms of dumbbell exercises can develop shoulder muscles. For example, using dumbbells to do lateral raises, front raises, and bent-over flyes can develop the middle, posterior, and lateral bundles of the deltoid muscles in your shoulders. To develop the trapezius muscles, you can use dumbbell shrugs or circle exercises.

6. Biceps: Dumbbell curl is the best exercise used by many bodybuilding champions to train the biceps muscle "peak". Different ways of doing dumbbell curls can make your upper arms thicker and more distinct when viewed from the back.

7. Triceps: Using dumbbells to do single-arm or double-arm flexion and extension exercises behind the neck can develop the triceps into a horseshoe shape. When practicing, you can lower the dumbbells as much as possible to enhance the training effect.

The above article introduces many ways to use dumbbells. There are different exercise methods and movements for different parts of the body. So first determine the part you want to train, and then choose the appropriate movements to practice. Just practice three sets every day.
