TRICEPS
Overall, the triceps are probably the most important muscle in terms of upper body training. Biceps would be right up there as well.  Triceps make up 2/3 of the arm.  Strong triceps are necessary for every pushing movement and some pulling movements as well, where the arms are close to the body during the movement.


Triceps 'Dips' Use your own body-weight to work the back of the arms.  Keep the body close to the bench and bend the elbows back.  Thanks Lori! - Bend and stretch those arms!
