Use the following exercises to help strengthen and develop your tricep muscles. Always warm-up and stretch prior to your workout, aiming to work within your own limits - always focus on working the muscle to be trained - maintain good technique!

Aim to work through any 6 - 8 of the 12 exercises listed, ideally 1-2 times per week, having at least two rest day between sessions. There are 12 exercises as some gyms may not have the equipment listed, however aim to vary the exercises you do, for maximum results.

Look at performing 2 sets of 8 - 12 reps, using a weight that will enable you to perform your amount of chosen reps with good technique - avoid heavy weights with poor technique.

Use the record sheet to record your reps and weight used - you should aim to gradually increase the amount of exercises - reps and weights used - always finish with stretching.
