Explosive triceps, are half the key to that killer punch your looking for. Whether its for looks or power you will be working out the much larger muscle in your arms. Many people think the bicep is the truly important muscle in the arm. These people would be completely incorrect. That muscle is actually more like the show off muscle.

The first exercise we will discuss is the tricep pull down with a v bar. Heavy weight is necessary for this exercise and remember keep your elbows in. This means keep them near your sides when doing this exercise. 25 reps for your first set, 20 for your second and 15 for your third. When you bring the bar up only go to where your arms make a L shape. Do not go any higher.

Your final exercise will be an endurance and stamina based finisher. You are going to burn yourself out with dips, to send a shock to the heavy lifting system. It'll confuse the triceps, and burn them out for an extreme mass gain with a little bit of toning. the goal is to do as many as possible if you can only do around twenty do three sets. If you can do fifty do two sets. If you can do more just burn out.
