Seated Triceps Press

Muscle Targeted: Triceps
  • Seated Triceps Press #1
  • Seated Triceps Press #2

Starting position:

Choose the appropriate dumbbell weight. Sit on the bench with your torso firmed up and pelvis in a neutral position and legs shoulder-width apart. Grab the dumbbell and move it upwards while holding it with both hands. Your elbows are at your ears, wrists are firm and not bending.

Exercise:

From the starting position, while not moving your elbows forward or sideways, execute the movement by bending your elbows. The dumbbell moves behind your head until your elbows make about 90 degrees angle. Keep your wrists firm and not bent throughout the entire movement. Inhale as your hands are moving down behind your head and exhale as they are going back up to a full stretch.

Note:

Make sure your torso is upright. You only bend very slightly forward and avoid over bending at the waist. Keep your pelvis in a neutral position. Keep your elbows fixed and avoid excessive motion forward or sideways. Avoid involving the trapezius muscles (lifting your arms) when raising the dumbbell.

Recommendation:

Begin with lighter weight to master the technique well. If possible, exercise in front of a mirror to watch the correct position of your arms, elbows and knees.

The “MUSQLE” project was launched in 2012 in order to bring trustworthy information and valuable tools to the European and World fitness/bodybuilding community.

We have three language versions: English (musqle.com international), French (musqle.fr French speaking countries) and German (musqle.de German speaking countries).

Profiles and Personal Statistics

Every MUSQLE member has a personal profile that can be kept private or be made visible to friends or the public.

Members can keep track of their weight, body fat and other measurements (like waist and hip circumference).

Every content item can be added to your personal profile – another way to personalize your experience at the website.

Our system also enables you to keep track of your improvement in individual exercises, muscles and your overall progress.

The main parts of the profiles are personalized training plans and training diaries as well as personalized diet plans. Both can be shared within the MUSQLE IN TOUCH social network and on Facebook.

Training Plans & Training Diary

We have a database of training plans and we offer you selected plans in line with your gender, sport, training aims and body type. You can import any training plan into your profile and change it according to your needs. You can also share your plan with others on the MUSQLE IN TOUCH social network. You can import any plan into your training diary.

Diet Plans

We employ a skilled chef who is preparing delicious meals designed especially for athletes. You will find recipes, nutritional values and pictures in our food database. The size of each serving can be increased or decreased as you wish and our system calculates the proper recipe ingredients and nutritional values for your serving size.

Complete diet plans can be built from the meals in our food database and you can share your diet plan with others on the MUSQLE IN TOUCH social network.

You can share your training plans, diet plans and anything else on our social network. You can find new friends and keep in contact with them, post pictures, comment on articles, follow the competitions and much more.

Competitions

Every Musqle.com member 15 years of age or older can enter and vote in our three competitions. First prize for each competition is €10,000.

Forums

Along with the MUSQLE IN TOUCH social network, our forums are another platform for members to share their experiences. Once you are logged in to the website, your profile is automatically used in forums and talkbacks too.

Sport professionals have slightly different personal profiles so that readers will be able to distinguish between forum submissions by amateur athletes and those from coaches, scientists or professional athletes.

Exercise Database

Our database includes hundreds of exercises with pictures, videos and written instructions.

Multimedia Content

We strive to keep the highest quality content on our website. Not everyone is accepted as an author at Musqle.com – our authors are all sport scientists or experienced athletes and coaches.
