Triceps Push Ups

Triceps Push Ups

Triceps Push Ups, or pushups, are probably the most effective of the triceps exercises for developing the triceps muscles. This is because anytime you are moving your body instead of moving an object in your hands, you are using more muscle and using more energy. This will lead to greater results. Another reason I like them is because they require no equipment so you can do them at home. Besides this exercise, you can see more at List of Exercises by Body Part. Remember, an exercise is only as good as the workout program it is part of. Make sure you check out Best Exercises Programs.
