What to do if your triceps are sore and weak after exercise

Triceps training is an essential exercise for friends who love fitness. There may be many friends who usually train their triceps very hard, but they have not achieved satisfactory results. After the exercise, their triceps often feel sore and weak. What's going on? What should you do if your triceps are sore and weak after exercise? Let’s find out together!

This situation is generally caused by anaerobic metabolism and lactic acid accumulation after muscle exercise, and it is necessary to promote the metabolism of lactic acid to treat and relieve it. If the symptoms are relatively mild, conservative treatments can be applied by elevating the painful limb, applying local warm compresses, massage, acupuncture, traction, medication, silver needle release, etc.

Triceps training method:

To train the triceps, you need to combine equipment with dumbbells and barbells. After all, there are times when the movements of doing barbells and dumbbells are not very standard. The key points of the movement are: put your feet together, lean your upper body forward 45 degrees, hold the equipment with both hands, use your triceps to drive your forearms to move the equipment down and close to your body, and keep your upper arms still.

There is also a rowing movement for exercising the triceps, which is similar to the one for exercising the back muscles, but in this movement the upper arms do not move. The key points of the movement are: lean forward and hold the bench with one hand, use one hand to pick up the dumbbell to keep the upper arm still, and lift the forearm backward until it is in line with the upper arm.

The movements for training the triceps are always related to the pectoral muscles and have similar movements, but you must remember that the force points are different and the stimulated muscle groups are also different. The double-bar dip connects both the pectoral muscles and the triceps, and the movement essentials are the same as for the pectoral muscles.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone already knows that the soreness and weakness of the triceps after exercise are mostly caused by muscle anaerobic metabolism and lactic acid accumulation. In this case, you should temporarily stop exercising your triceps, and use massage and local hot compresses to relieve triceps weakness and soreness.
