With the return of the perfect workout series, I am updating the perfect triceps workout to give you the best triceps workout you can do. The biggest difference is that I am giving you not Justine, but two perfect triceps workouts for you to try that are not just randomly thrown together, but are based on science. While this perfect triceps workout is based on science, that doesn’t mean it is simply married to the latest research fads that everyone is jumping behind and throwing all other techniques out the window for. Instead, it’s going to be based on anatomy, biomechanics, as well as some of the newer research. The PERFECT Triceps Workout - Subscribe to this channel here - Now, the perfect triceps workout based on science should consist of exercises not just for the medial and lateral heads of the triceps, but the long head of the triceps as well. That said, even that doesn’t make the triceps workout complete. In order to round your arms with a well rounded, perfect workout, you need to fill in the gaps of what is lacking on those popular triceps exercises and put science into your training. The perfect triceps workout needs to take into account the importance of both the lengthened and contracted position of the triceps, especially of the long head. So, we will be utilizing exercises that explore the long head of the triceps being in its most shortened, contracted position and its lengthened, stretch position. We also know, thanks to science, that hitting the triceps twice in a week is likely better than once a week, giving you different ways to hit the triceps as well as shortening the workouts so that you can attack another muscle group in the same day. Take note, however, that this perfect triceps workout is designed to either compliment the perfect chest workout on the same day, or can be utilized as a standalone workout on its own. So what the perfect triceps workout look like Perfect Triceps Workout 1: 1. Triceps Pushdowns: 2-3 x 6-8 FF - This is meant to overload the triceps, especially in the lateral and medial heads, since your arms will not be traveling behind your body. - Keep this weight heavy, but do your best not to turn this into a jackhammer pushdown. This exercise is meant to hit the triceps, not the shoulders and lower chest. 2. Lying DB Extensions: 2-3 x 8-10 Eccentric Only Reps - Once you reach concentric failure, simply cheat the dumbbells back to your chest, press them up and then slowly lower them behind your head until you reach eccentric failure where you cannot control the weights going back anymore - Using dumbbells instead of an EZ-curl bar is important in order to complete the eccentric only reps, as it will be much harder to cheat the bar up without hitting the back of your head in the process. 3. DB/Cable Triceps Kickbacks: 2-3 x 10-12 Partials - One of the most underrated triceps exercises, especially for the long head of the triceps. This is because very few exercises actually allow for the long head to achieve its fully contracted position with the arm behind the body. - You can use dumbbells or cables depending on what you have access to. It is worth noting that the cable version of this exercise has a slightly different resistance curve than the dumbbell version. - Once failure is reached, continue to eke out a few more partial reps as we know that partial reps after reaching failure will produce more growth. 4. Cobra Pushups: 1 x Failure - Finish the workout with this bodyweight burnout exercise in order to gain better command of your body in space. Watch the video for the second perfect triceps workout as it will round out the training you will need to do to completely hit the muscles of thetriceps over the course of the week and reach the ideal amount of frequency / volume. Here are the relevant studies used to build this perfect tricep workout: - - - - - The PERFECT Triceps Workout - Subscribe to this channel here -

You have an excellent collection! I have been watching over 5 years. I am a 60 year oold female physician, who was an athelete before med school. I credit my maintanence of muscle partially on my establishment of overall muscle in my youth. 5'7 134# caucasian withOUT even any osteopenia. I still challenge myself ( 4 sets of 10 to failure or 1 rep in reserve, including my body weight dead lift) and my goal is to Keep muscle while avoiding joint injury, and Not to lose any weight.
Would you consider another side kick: an atheletic female in her 20s or her 40s Women's exercise magazines are disppointing, and I use Men's but I have some limitations. I always recommend and state your advice is spot on every time! Thank you!

So 4 exercises, couple that with the 6 from the perfect chest workout=10 different exercises per workout And im guessing your upcoming bicep workout will be similar to add to the back workout. Who the hell wants to do 10 different exercises per workout AND workout 6 times a week Like, yes, looking at these individually they look fine, but putting them all together Cmon Jeff, pls dont tell me that i need to do 10 different exercises per workout, while also doing it twice per week. Cmon Jeff.

I started to use resistance bands for the overhead exercises. I tie two together and anchor them above and behind my head. You can adjust the load by leaning, to the point where you can get isometric. It's a lot easier to control a heavy load compared to dumbbells or barbell.
Studies show that it is the position where triceps is most stimulated, but as Jeff said it's still important to train fully contracted and full range of motion as well.

love this series, thanks! quick question - does it matter what order you put the days in just as a personal preference I like to start my schedule with back exercises so I've been doing this Back/Biceps | legs/shoulders | chest/triceps | rest. doesn't seem like it should make any difference but thought it was worth checking
apologies if I posted this in a previous video. I was meaning to ask before but can't remember if I did

How did you change so much Like I thought you hated bench dips because of internal rotation on shoulder and writs rotation and in your last video you also said that you made your chest using Chest fly which you earlier hated saying that there is too much load on elbows Are you going to also change your stand on upright row Now since you are changing your stand on most of your exercises.
reply

Hey Jeff, another great workout. By the way, what is the machine you're using for the Pushdowns and the Kickbacks and the brand bench you're using for the Lying dumbbell extensions It'd be helpful if that info was part of the transcript, I always learn something new from your instruction. Thanks for sharing

I work Arms once a week. 2 exercises. Usually 2-3 sets of 10-16 reps Bi's and Tri's. Forearms once a week. 1-2 exercise 2-3 sets of 20-35 reps. I'm most complimented for my arms. Cable overhead extension and cable kickbacks for Tri's. The occasional rope or v-bar push down. Find what works for you

Hey Jeff. I’ve recently been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia and have seen your other video on working out with a hernia where you mention lifting lighter or using other bracing techniques while lifting. What amounts can you deadlift with your hernia and what bracing techniques do you use
reply

Shouldn't you be concentrating more on the elongated position of the muscle instead of the contracted position Not to say to never focus on the contracted position, but I thought the litterature was shifting towards stretched positions being more hypertrophic than contracted positions.
reply

Thank you.
What is the true purpose of all the tricep muscles please This looks like soooo much fun I am kidding.
I either do or don’t want to do all this.
The hundreds videos are really good setting out the workouts in the calendar like you did us cool. Take care.

Your exs are so perfect. I admire your efforts to guide those who do exs at home and at gym. I am also a physiotherapist. Still active and practicing. Your research is extensive. I am greatly helped to do the right things for my patients. I am 68 years old and based in India.

I have rouble with with the Tricept Pusha away on the cables even when I put so that my arms are high over the head. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I don't really feel it in my tricepts and seem to have trouble with mind muscle connection with that, any tips
reply

As much as I love the series I highly doubt that most people are able to train each muscle group twice a week with this intensity. A workout plan with 3-4 training days a week would be great (and also more realistic for normal people.
reply

You don't need to bend over for cable kickbacks, stand straight with your arm in same position as bent over. Begin supination and end hammer position with slight pause. until failure then 5 3 second negatives. It's murder!

the thing is, starting with tricep pushdowns ur working out ur lateral and medial head, then db skullcrusherz ur working out ur long head, but ur lateral and medial head are already sore so whats the point really
reply

Everyone’s focused on modern methods, but there’s even a book called Banned Spartan Rituals that’s been floating around like some underground secret. Surprised more people haven’t picked up on it.
reply

Awesome, love this series and can't wait for more.
Question - are you still pairing this with Chest workout as shown in another video The other days being Legs/Shoulder, Back/Biceps. Thanks

reply

Thanks Jeff, these perfect workouts are great to get back in routine after being out with an injury. I own several of your products but they’re too intense for where I’m at right now!

JC and AX are THE only way to the healthiest, most effective, and safely developed physique. I share his videos with all my weight training family and friends. Thank you, Jeff!
