French Curls: The Triceps Secret

I used to think biceps were the key to bigger arms, but turns out, triceps do most of the heavy lifting. French curls (aka triceps extensions) are my go-to for filling out those sleeves. 🔸 Start light. If you can’t press the weight overhead, it’s too heavy. Trust me, your elbows will thank you. 🔸 Keep your elbows tight. Don’t let them flare out—imagine you’re trying to keep your upper arms glued to your head. 🔸 Bench or standing, keep your back straight and core tight. If your lower back lifts off the bench, drop the weight. 🔸 Slow and steady wins. Lower the bar behind your head, then press up without locking your elbows. Control matters more than speed here. I usually hit 3-5 sets of 6-10 reps, but do what feels right for you. Form > ego, always. #Triceps #GymTips #StrengthTraining #Health #Fitness
