Fitness Inspiration: Flex Friday & Tricep Workout
Good morning, Steemians!
It's Friday, and for me, it's no different from any other day when I have to hit the gym. Although I have different workouts every time I go to the gym and depending on how my body feels. One of the upper body part workouts I would like to share with you are for your triceps.
Tricpes are the three-headed muscles on the back of your arms. It helps stabilize your shoulder and the wide flat bone on your back, called scapula.
Before we get serious let me share to you a scene at gym...
An guy on his sixties interrupted me while I was doing "cable triceps kick back" workout. I think he noticed I was lifting heavier than other women at gym does. Most of the women I saw that day we're only lifting maximum of 10 pounds and I was doing 30 pounds on the machine.
He said "Oh no! you shouldn't lift too much weight because you're going to hurt yourself and when you grow older your muscles will sag like mine!" And then I was like, " I doesn't hurt my triceps, Mr. and I just started my workout (". Gave him a smile, greeted him a nice day and I had to go to the bathroom to let my frustration out, lol. (I should never forget to bring my headset with me!)
Did you know our mind is stronger than our body?
Some people are afraid of getting injured. Don't be, I listen to your body and you'll know when your limit is.
If you think you can't lift anymore after finishing your set but you don't even feel the burn after your workout, then you didn't do enough! So get back in there push your limit!
Triceps are one of the hardest part to define so you have to train them effectively.
Here are some of my triceps workouts that you can incorporate with yours:
Using Dumbbells:
Triceps Kick Back
Two Arm Tricep Extension
Underhand Kick Back
Using Machine:
Cable Triceps Kick Back
Bodyweight:
Bench Dip
Upright Dip
I usually do 15 reps of 3 sets but for bodyweight it do it until failure, meaning I don't count, I do it until my arms are dead tired or isolated.
Have fun on your workout, gym rats!

Thank you 😊
Are you working on gaining some weight or training for a lean body.
Both. When you build muscles you gain a little bit of weight.

Looking good girl.
I love working out too, but I did have a little break for Christmas, so it is time to hit the gym again.
Thanks for sharing your workout with us.
Same here... it's okay to take a break as long you you get back to it.
You're welcome. How was your holiday?

Oh that's nice! How often do you workout?
What do you do for living?
I usually workout like 5-6 times a week, wbu?
And I’m currently a masters student and a county health inspector 🔍

Wow that's awesome! I work out 3-4 times a week. And some days just yoga. I can't lift every day need some time to recover after isolating my muscles.
I am full time on Steemit that's my only job and source of income aside from trading coins.

Yes, allowing the muscles to rest and recoup is extremely important for recovery. I always do something different, never the same thing twice!
& Wow, that’s impressive. Full time steemian sounds very difficult, and trading coins when everything is in the red sounds even harder 😳 do you use Elliot waves or some trading software to help with your trades ??

Me too! Always do different exercise every time so other parts of your body can recover.
It is difficult, well nothing in life is easy really. Still better than working at the office and a having superiors tell you what to do.
Well, I used some of my steems to buy Bitcoin and some trade it with litecoins. It's tough right now not really profitable unless you have a huge amount to trade.

STOPAll I want is a flat tummy and I feel i'll be bomb its really the only part im still struggling with
Try carnivor diet 😁 just pure meat, salt and pepper. No carbs.
Thanks for the tip, i'll look into it
You're welcome 😉
What kind of workout are into right now?
I do mostly cardio since I run, play both indoor and full field soccer with a little bit of boxing and I occationally do weights maybe 1 - 2 times a week. I'm fine with the working out, maybe I need a more targetted approach to my problem areas but i feel my biggest struggle is eating clean and regularly
If you eat less carbs and start lifting heavier weights and always increase the weight every week, you should see the result then.
It's hard for the first week but that's why you need discipline and will power 😉
Lol indeed because carbs are like life! I’ll have to start a fitness journal and keep writing each day what I do, seems like it’s going to get complicated
