TRICEPS

There are three major muscle groups in the arms: the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, and the forearms. The triceps is a three-headed muscle that works opposite the biceps. It originates beneath the deltoid and inserts below the elbow. The most effective way to train the triceps is through extension movements.
