If you want bigger arms you absolutely must develop your triceps. And even if you can’t get to the gym, you can still get a great tricep workout without using any gym equipment like dumbbells, barbells, and machines. All you need is just your body weight and then maybe a few household items like a bookbag to incorporate a larger variety of exercises that you can do at home. 

And one of the most basic yet extremely effective home tricep exercises you can do is the weighted close-grip pushup. To add weight to this exercise, you can either put a flat object on your upper back or you can just pack a bookbag full of heavy objects and then wear it while doing pushups. Now you’re going to do these pushups a little differently to better target the triceps. To begin you’ll place your hands directly under your shoulders so that they’re exactly shoulder-width apart. Then extend your legs, come up on your toes, and get into a starting pushup position. From there lower your chest down towards the ground by bending your elbows while tracking them close to your body. Usually, when we perform pushups we want our elbows to be at about 45-degree angles in relation to our bodies. But for weighted tricep pushups, you want your elbows tight to your body. After slowly lowering yourself down press back up while still keeping those elbows close together. Then repeat for reps. 

Another excellent tricep exercise that you can do at home are dips and there are a few ways you can perform dips. Many people will perform dips at home by positioning themselves at the edge of a platform or chair with their hands behind their backs. And then they perform reps by bending their elbows, lowering their hips to the floor, and pressing themselves back up to the starting position. Now even though this exercise has been around for a long time and has been recommended by countless trainers as a great tricep exercise for home, it’s not that great at all. Lifting weight with your arms behind your back like that puts your shoulders into an internally rotated position which can lead to shoulder pain and shoulder injuries like impingement over time.

Instead, I recommend you use two sturdy objects like two chairs to perform regular dips with your hands at your sides. Obviously, make sure that each of these chairs or platforms can hold your body weight and make sure they don’t tip over. Regular folding steel chairs are great for this and if you want to be extra safe you can put something heavy on each chair to ensure that it won’t tip over. To Begin you’ll stand in between the chairs which will be facing away from each other and place your hands on the chairs with your arms extended. Then raise your feet off the ground and begin slowly lowering yourself down by bending your elbows. To help Target the triceps more rather than the chest you want to try to keep your chest pointed forward as best as you can. Lower yourself down until your shoulders are about even with your elbows or a little lower and then press back up to the original starting position with your elbows locked out. Then repeat for reps.

Let’s move on to the next one which is overhead tricep extensions. Normally this is done with a dumbbell, but a bookbag can actually work as a great replacement if you don’t have a dumbbell. You would just pack the bookbag full of heavy objects like gallons of water. Then you would grab the opposite strap in each hand and swing the bookbag behind your head. From there you want to position your upper arms directly above your head so that your elbows are basically pointing to the ceiling. Then extend your arms and lift the weight all the way up until your arms are almost fully locked out. As you’re doing this remember to try to keep your elbows close together, rather than letting them flair apart. After that just slowly lower the weight back down behind your head until your forearms are a little lower than parallel to the ground. From there you’ll just once extend your arms back above your head and repeat for reps. 

Now for some of you that are more advanced, you’re not going to be able to put enough weight in a bookbag to effectively challenge your tricep strength with two hands at the same time. So another excellent variation is the one-arm overhead tricep extension, which we can once again do with a book bag. To do this one you’ll grab both straps in one hand and once again swing the book bag behind your head except now instead of the book bag hanging directly behind you it’s going to be angled towards your opposite shoulder. From there just like before you’re going to extend your elbow until your arm is…
