Where is the triceps located?

The triceps are a group of muscles on our arms that play an important role in our daily life. Whenever we use our arms, we will use the triceps. Friends who like fitness usually know the location and function of the triceps, but for most friends, it is not very clear. So where is the location of the triceps? Let’s have a brief understanding through the following introduction.

The posterior group of arm muscles (extensor group) belonging to the upper limb muscles is located behind the humerus. It has three heads at its origin. The long head originates from below the glenoid cavity of the scapula, and the medial and lateral heads both originate from the back of the humerus. The three heads merge into a muscle belly and end at the olecranon of the ulna with a flat tendon. Function: Extends the elbow joint; its long head extends and adducts the upper arm.

Simply put, it's on the front and back of the biceps (the strongest muscle in the arm).

The triceps brachii is horseshoe-shaped, attached to the back of the upper arm, and is divided into three parts: the lateral head, the medial head, and the long head. Once well-trained fitness enthusiasts tighten their muscles, a clear muscle outline will appear on the side of the upper arm. The triceps are crucial to the size of your upper arms. Through systematic training, you can get enviable strong arms. In chest and shoulder training, the triceps are an indispensable "assistant"; in daily life, pushing, pressing, swinging, supporting and other actions all involve the triceps.

Through the above introduction, we know where the triceps is located. If we want to increase the strength of our arms, it is particularly necessary to exercise the telomeres of the triceps. However, we must pay attention to the correct methods and movements when exercising, and it also requires a long process.
