Triceps start and end points and functions

The triceps are the largest and strongest muscles in our arms. They are located at the cuffs of our arms. The strong triceps can give you the muscle beauty that can thrive on your sleeves. At the same time, it is also the muscle that contributes the greatest contribution of our arms. If you want to have better sports performance, don’t ignore the triceps

Today we will take you to understand the triceps from an anatomical perspective, understand its shape, position and function. This will better help you understand the triceps and train better!

　　Trices

　　Position: Back of the upper arm

　　Model: Long muscle

　　Start point:

　　Long Head - subglavicular nodules of the scapula

　　　　Outer head - outer top of the radial nerve groove

　　Middle head - inner bottom of the radial nerve groove

　　　Stop point: ulna eagle beak

　　Function: extend the shoulder joint, the shoulder is retracted, external rotation (long head)

　　Far away: extend the elbow joint (three heads)

　　From the anatomical position, the triceps brachii are mainly responsible for the movement of the elbow joint and the shoulder joint (extend, adduction), including only the long head is responsible for the movement of the shoulder, and the three heads are responsible for the movement of the elbow

　　So our triceps can be effectively trained in the movement of these joints

　　For example: bench press , push-ups, support parallel bars, shoulder pushes and other multi-joint movements that include elbow joint extension

　　　Another, such as ropes, dumbbells, barbell arm flexion and extension, such as single-joint movements that include elbow joint extension

　　　The long head will also participate in pull-ups, high-position pull-down, sitting-position rowing, straight arm pull-down, etc.

　　So, if you want to focus more on training the long head, don’t just do some elbow joint movements

　　In addition to these

　The following suggestions can also better train the long head

　　　The elbow extension in the shoulder flexion (such as all over-top arm flexion), as well as the shoulder extension and elbow extension, shoulder inward and outer rotation, will make the long head more involved!
