The secret to building toned, sculpted arms isn’t just down to having big biceps, but triceps too (they actually make up around 60 to 70% of your total arm!). Knowing this, you’re now probably keen to get working on them and we’ve got a perfect workout to help you do just that, using a pair of dumbbells.
As well as helping to strengthen your arms and give them that overall defined look, training your triceps shouldn't go amiss. They're responsible for extending the elbow joint and straightening your arm, plus the long head of the tricep is attached to your shoulder — so regularly exercising them will support both these areas. You also use your triceps to push, so daily activities — like pushing a lawn mower or pram — will reply upon these muscles.
