Where is the triceps tendon located?

Friends who like fitness must do devilish training on their triceps. Strong triceps are the visual focus of our entire arms. If you want to better train your triceps, you must first figure out the location of the triceps and the muscle components of the triceps so that you can train it more accurately. Today I will introduce to you the location of the triceps tendon.

Location and shape: Located behind the humerus. The muscle is clearly visible when the elbow is extended. This muscle has three heads: the long head, the medial head, and the lateral head. The long head is a biarticular muscle, while the medial and lateral heads are monoarticular muscles.

Starting point: The long head originates from the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, the lateral head originates from the bone surface above and outside the radial nerve groove, and the medial head originates from the bone surface below and inside the radial nerve groove.

Insertion: The three heads form a muscle belly, which inserts into the olecranon of the ulna with tendons.

Push-ups to train your triceps:

Action essentials: Lie face down on the floor. Put your hands flat and almost touch your shoulders, with your fingertips facing forward and your abdomen contracted.

1. The hand position is similar to the bench press, but in order to maximize the stimulation of the triceps, the hands should be parallel to the chest and separated by about shoulder width, with the elbows close to the body.

2》During the entire movement, your body should be in a straight line from head to toe, with your eyes looking at the floor.

3. With your feet perpendicular to the ground, press your toes on the ground and stretch your legs outwards

4》Then start doing push-ups. Exhale as you extend your arms.

5. Keep your elbows inward and use the strength of your triceps to support your body.

6》Stretch your arms completely straight. At the bottom of the movement, either lightly lock your elbows or extend them back to the point where they are just unlocked. Pause. Then lean down again.

7》Inhale as you move downward and hold your breath at the bottom of the movement. To keep the target muscles in a constant state of tension, do not relax and rest on the floor.

The above content introduces the location of the triceps and the components of the tendon in great detail. Friends who have read this should all know that the triceps brachii is composed of three tendons: the long head, the medial head, and the lateral head. These three tendons are located in different parts of the triceps, and each tendon needs to be exercised to have strong triceps.
