A variation of plyometric pushups. But it is an amazing exercise for gaining more strength and power in the triceps.
One of our favorite core exercises! But doing this also helps the triceps in a huge way. Especially doing it backwards and while going up a hill.
Amazing exercise that forces us to maintain core stability so we can maintain shoulder stability in order to remain upright for the duration. Don't be crazy and do this exercise if there are shoulder issues.
One of the many pushup variations. Huge workload on the triceps during the downward and upward phases of this exercise. Make sure the hands have a narrow grip.
Nice way to spend some time at the beach or wherever your spot may be! Hook up the TRX. Strap in, and hit the core, pecs and triceps in this one!
Another exercise that is become pretty standard among more energetic exercise enthusiasts. Hits form the calves up to the neck. However we do them a tad bit different. We incorporate the pushup a little differently. Instead of lazily moving from the pushup position to the squat, we do a pushup hop.
Another way of doing the always reliable pushup. This one requires the use of an FMT or some other type of fitness tubing. Wrap it around the mid back. Make sure it's stretched while in the hands. That creates pressure on both the descent and the ascent.
Just a different variation on the triceps extension exercise. Because of the instability of the TRX, the lats, traps and rear deltoids must act as even greater stabilizers during the movement. Important to remember. The humerus (bone from shoulder to elbow) should remain at one angle throughout the movement.
Sweet explosive exercise that needs to be at the end or near the end of a progression of explosive chest exercises. Try to thrust the body as upright as possible without bending at the waist.
Our surfers love to hate these! They are an excellent way to help develop upper body power. They work well with enabling us to do better burpees - the kind that don't screw up the lower back because we use it so much to stand upright.
A slightly different kind of burpee. We normally use these in countdown situations. For instance, we will do 15 of each exercise, then 14, then 13 and so on down until we get to 1. Sometimes, if we're feeling extra energetic, we'll count back up, too!
A variation of the old upper-body standard. We use these when folks complain that they can't go all the way down during their pushups. Well, we want a full range of motion, so we'll put a person in a position where full ROM can be achieved.
This is your basic incline bench press. Nothing fancy about it. Just lying on your back, allowing the weight to descend and pushing it back up. As you can see on this, the elbows are going back and not out to the side. As the weight increases, there will be some flaring. The less the flaring, the more the triceps are worked.
