Tricep Bicep

My days at the gym generally consist of 3 different categories on which I switch off on through-out the wake (Give or take a few exercise substitutions)

These generally include: Legs, Chest/Back and Tricep/Bicep/Shoulder

Usually, my routines consist of mainly free weights and machines. But I understand not everyone has that convenience! So I will post some of my favorite exercises I do to tone these certain areas.

Since today was a Tricep/Bicep day, I will post some excellent exercises and links to "how to do" as well.

Keep checking back for more!

*Note. To make these MORE strenuous. Do more reps and sets or just increase the weight
for LESS strenuous. Do a lower weight or less reps and sets

Tricep: 
Bench Dips 
To make this one more strenuous, and to get a better workout. I either do more reps or add plates just on my upper thighs

Skull Crusher
I often do this with a barbell, which works just as effectively

Standing Tricep Extension 



Shoulders:
Alternating Deltoid Raise
*This is fairly difficult. Definitely stick to a small weight when starting out

Dumbell / Free weights shoulder press 

Dumbell or Barbell Shrug
Works both traps and shoulders
