Why build a triceps bar into your workouts?
The special shape of this weight training bar will engage your triceps. It allows you to vary your hand position with its different grips, and thus engage different fibres for each muscle group. As a complement to a classic dumbbell bar that you'd use for biceps, a triceps bar is useful for balancing the musculature of the arm.

Build your triceps with exercises from our coach!
Work your triceps standing or seated, bar behind your head with arms in the air, or lying on a bench.
- Building strength: 3 to 5 sets of under 6 reps
- Building muscle mass: 3 to 4 sets of 6-12 reps
- Toning: 3 sets of 12 to 20 reps
Always start with the minimum number of reps (with a 2 rep margin), then increase by one rep/week. Then, increase the load and start again from the minimum reps.
