What is a good weight training exercise for the triceps?
82592
According to EMG analysis, a french press (skull crushers) also referred to as a lying tricep extension with an EZ curl bar is the best.  It has been shown to demand the greatest recuitment of muscle fibers from all three heads of the tricep which will substantially increase strength in conjuction with other exercises if repetitions are kept in the 6-8 rep range.  \n\nSome good ones for bulk are Close-grip bench press and Dips.  But honestly, if you get into weight training consistently, some of your best triceps will come from just regular bench press.  This does however depend on your genetics and how your muscles prefer to be challenged, but this is definitely common in beginner and intermediate weight trainers.\n\nHere's a complete list of tricep exercises:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_triceps.html\n\nIf you are a novice weight trainer, please seek the assistance of a certified personal trainer as this exercise is intermediate to advanced and not for beginners.

Pushup are good.  Also tricep dips.  Get some dumbells for bicep curls, tricep overhead raises, and such.  Do your upper body workout every other day for best results.

Do the following for your shoulders (use weight that you can only repeat 4-6 times)\n\nShoulder Press\nMilitary Press\nBehind Neck Press\nFront Raise\nArnold Press\nUpright Row\nLateral Raise\nRear Delt Row\nShrug (you need to work on your trap and delt together)\n\nAnd these for your arms (use weight that you can repeat only 12-15 times)\n\nTriceps Dip\nClose Grip Bench Press\nLying Triceps Extension\nTricep Extension\nBent-over Triceps Extension\nPushdown\nDB Kickback\nOverhead Triceps Extension\nBB Curl\nCable Curl\nDB Curl\nIncline Curl\nPreacher Curl\nConcentration Curl\n\nDon't just do the above alone, also work on your Chest, Back and Legs as well. It's hard to get other muscles big (enough) without training the major muscle groups first.\n\nFor more details, see Max OT (do search on Internet) -\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Max+OT&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

Simply train for strength.  Human muscle tissue contains three different fibers:  Red (endurance, low intensity), Intermediate (moderate intensity work), and White (high intensity, responsible for strength, speed, and overall size).\n\nThere's no need to do "explosive" training to become faster--such training actually WILL generate injuries from all the jerking and pulling created between the muscles and the tendon attachments.\n\nI would recommend standard weight training, doing mostly compound movements; excercises that use more than one muscle group, such as squats and bench presses.  Perform each excercise with weight that's heavy enough to reach positive muscular failure (the point where you cannot do another repitition regardless of how hard you try) within six to eight repititions.  Keep your movements absolutely under control--no jerking or swinging, unless you like your doctor and wish to visit him often!  In choosing the weight you use, make sure that you can hold the weight in place, briefly, at any point of the excercise's rang of motion.  If you can't, you didn't lift it--you threw it, using momentum to rob your muscles of work they should have been laboring against.\n\nIf you're sceptical that using slower, heavy, movements is a good way to generate both an increase in strength and speed, consider this:  Let's assume that you're about to pick up a box that you fully beleive is heavy.  You'll lift that box pretty quickly, won't you?  Also, image yourself carrying a five-gallon bucket that's full of water.  The handle breaks.  Your hand--which is still under control of an arm that was holding some weight just moments before--would jerk clean up to your shoulder before you'd be able to react to the broken bucket handle.  Strength and speed are related!  \n\nMake sure that you allow plenty of time for muscle recouperation and growth in between workouts--overtaining is very easy while training for strength, because the more intense the workout, the more a muscle is exposed to stress.  The more stress, the greater the amount of time needed to recover.\n\nFor more information, I'd recommend the excellent book by Mike Mentzer entitled, "High Intensity Training the Mike Mentzer Way," which is availible at most major bookstores.

I'm a 21 year old guy and work out all the time. You can do different bicep curls, with a regular bar and with dumbells. Make sure you do low weight, but alot of times, since you want to tone your arms. Try doing 4 sets of 15 curls per set. Also there are alot of good tricep workouts. Tricep pulldowns, skullcrushers, and tricep extentions to name a few. Even push-ups would help alot.

No time for the gym ... then run around your neighborhood. Do push-ups at home if you want to specifically target the chest and triceps. But Push-ups alone won't do it, still gotta get plenty of cardiovascular exercise.

You are on the right path.  I recommend doing a full body weight training routine 3-4 days a week consisting of exercises for the following bodyparts:  quads, hamstrings, calves, upper chest, lats, mid-back, lower back, shoulders (deltoids), biceps, triceps, abs.  Best exercises to start with:  squats, leg curls, standing calf raises, low incline dumbbell press, lat pulldowns to the front, low pulley rows, deadlifts, shoulder presses with dumbbells, biceps dumbbell curls, triceps pressdowns.  Use a weight that will allow you to do no more than 12 reps and no less than 8.  If you can do more than 12, increase the weight next time.  If you can't do 8 then decrease the weight.  Make sure to concentrate on each rep, control the weight and perform a full range of motion just short of lockout.  Start with one set per exercise for a week or two then increase this to 2 sets per exercise, then when you are ready to do three sets per bodypart split your exercises in half and do the first half one day and the second half the next workout and repeat.  This should get you started on a very good routine to up your metabolism.  You can add cardio a couple of times a week to help burn some extra fat, but put more focus on your weight training as this is much better at burning fat while you are doing the exercise and also burns calories after your workout and all day long (muscle burns calories, not fat).  Cardio only burn calories while you are doing it.  Also, make sure to eat a healthy well balanced low-fat diet, don't skip breakfast and don't eat within 2 hours of going to bed.  Good luck.

Tricep Kickbacks\nStand with left leg in front and place left hand on left thigh, so you are slightly bent forward. With dumbbell in right hand raise your elbow up above your waist. Keep the elbow in this position and with your forearm lift the dumbbel up and back behind you and lower (lower just the dumbbell - elbow stays where it is). Do 3 sets of 15 reps on both arms.\n\nDips\nUsing a bench (or chair) sit on the edge and place hands on bench with fingers facing the edge. Lift yourself up off the bench and keeping back close to the edge of bench lower down a few inches. The closer your feet are to you the easier it is, so to increase the intensity step the feet a little ways. Lift yourself back up, but don't sit down, continue lifting and lowering yourself for 3 sets of 15 reps.\n\nOverhead Tricep Press\nStand with feet shoulder width apart with a slight bend in the knee. With one or two dumbbells in hands raise them above your head. Keep elbows close to ears and lower weight behind you and press up. Elbows stay where the are and close to the ears - don't let them fall out. Do 3 sets of 15 reps.

Try high-repetition strength conditioning exercises for your arms.  Here's a list:\n\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises.html\n\nIf you have high levels of body fat then you must also pursue cardiovascular exercise to decrease overall bodyfat.  This will also help reduce some fat on your triceps.  Here's different cardiovascular exercises you may consider.\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/fundament/articles/types_exercises.html\n\nSeek the advice of a certified personal trainer for more info.

Any exercise is good. :) Walking, biking, rowing, swimming are all fairly low impact and develop lean muscle.

I am triathlete with an good, athletic physique (6'1 175-180 lbs).  This is the lifting rotation that I do:\n\nDay 1 - Chest and Biceps\nDay 2 - Back and Triceps\nDay 3 - Shoulders and Legs\nDay 4 - Rest\n\nI do 4 sets of 15 repetitions for each exercise.  I alternate between sets of one muscle group and the other.  I start my watch when I begin lifting, and I start a new set every 2 minutes.  This usually allows for 60 - 90 seconds rest.  I try to do at least 3 exercises per muscle group, sometimes I do 4.  I take a whey protein shake (made with milk) with creatine 15 minutes after I finish my workout.

The best overall exercise is the barbell row, all kinds of rows are good.  For width do chins or pull-downs.  The deadlift is also exellent for overall development.  You don't need any fancy equipment, just good ol' free weights.

When I was having trouble with my bicep development I used drop sets and supersets. \n\nSuperset\nStanding Bicep Curls  3 x 6-10\nHammer Curls          3 x 10-15(with a very light weight)\n\nFollowed this by doing one drop set:\n\nDrop Set\n\nYou perform a drop set by take a standard barbell and loading it with small five pound weights. Find a weight you can perform 10-12 reps with. Then perform standing barbell curls to taking off a 5lbs weight from each side of the barbell every time you reach failure. Continue this pattern until you are lifting only the bar.\n\nTake a little creatine and whey protein and your arms will get huge. Mine are 18inches.

I suppose you mean the triceps which usually start sagging for women your age. One simple exercise is to sit on a sturdy chair ( with arms), stretch out your legs and raise and lower your body (butt)while leaning out of the chair base. Maintain your balance by taking support on the heels.  To start with do 5 reps and you can progressivelly increase this to a count of 20 reps. You should feel the tricep muscle getting worked. \nor\nbuy a pair of dumbells ( half kg or one kg) and   ( sorry it's difficult to describe this exercise without a picture. Do look up some tricep exercises with weights on the web)
