Editing Triceps (section)

==Training==
The triceps can be worked through either isolation or compound elbow extension movements and can contract statically to keep the arm straightened against resistance.

Isolation movements include cable push-downs, [[lying triceps extensions]], and arm extensions behind the back. Examples of compound elbow extension include pressing movements like the [[push up]], [[JM press]], [[bench press]], [[close grip bench press]] (flat, incline or decline), [[military press]] and [[dip (exercise)|dips]]. A closer grip targets the triceps more than wider grip movements.

Static contraction movements include pullovers, straight-arm pulldowns, and bent-over lateral raises, which are also used to build the deltoids and [[latissimus dorsi]].

Ruptures of the triceps muscle are rare, and typically only occur in anabolic steroid users.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Keener JD, Sethi PM | title = Distal Triceps Tendon Injuries | journal = Hand Clinics | volume = 31 | issue = 4 | pages = 641–50 | date = November 2015 | pmid = 26498552 | doi = 10.1016/j.hcl.2015.06.010 }}</ref>
