My Favorite Bodyweight Exercises For Triceps - TruthSeeker - 12-26-2018
1. Dips for high reps.
I don't do dips for low reps anymore. I think they stress the shoulders and the sternum too much. Sets below five are no longer in my routine.
Otherwise, the dip is a great triceps movement.
2. Diamond push-ups with a band
This exercises will murder your triceps, especially after dips.
Since you are using an elastic band, the exercise becomes really hard at the lockout - the part where the triceps work the most.

What is your current routine? Goals in terms of strength?

For the past year, I was doing classic barbell routines - squat, bench press, deadlift. But now I plan to focus on the snatch grip deadlift and bodyweight exercises for the upper body.

I haven't lifted in about 6 months due to an old injury that keeps haunting me and because of work and other problems. I still look the same. Maybe my muscles are not that poppy because they don't hold as much glycogen and water but my weight is almost same. Also, before not training at all I was just going by feel on sets, reps and I felt much better. Rather energetic than tired as hell after a workout.
