Triceps love

I honestly love working my triceps! And it's nice when that little horseshoe starts to build up on the back of your arm and you know you've done something right! So here are my favorite triceps exercises!


Tricep Dumbbell Kickback Bodybuilding.com
I've noticed the most progress when I incorporate these. I don't always do these as single kickbacks, sometimes double, but once you start feeling fatigued, it's best to continue on with singles.


Bench Dips Bodybuilding.com
Bench dips I don't always do this way, okay I never do this way! I don't elevate my legs. I just make sure the object I'm using to do the dips will allow my legs to go in a chair like position and be about parallel.

Favorite Shoulder Exercises

I've decided to do a series on my favorite exercises by body part! I've tried a lot, and had suggestions, but they will be the ones I incorporate weekly and suggest to others.


Upright Barbell Row Bodybuilding.com

I usually do this with dumbbells, but barbell works too. It's also great for work your traps which I feel like most shoulder exercises target.



Arnold Dumbbell Press Bodybuilding.com
And of course the Arnold Press. Once I incorporated these two exercises, I noticed a significant change in my shoulders, and upper back.



Reverse Flyes Bodybuilding.com
I've done these this way, and also using an exercise ball as the bench as well. With the ball, you really have to focus on greater core stabilization and keeping your feet planted, which is a challenge.
