The triceps, or triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. It consists of three parts: the medial, lateral, and long head. [1] It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).
The triceps (also known as the triceps brachii) is the muscle behind the arm, opposite of the bicep — and they get their name due to being made up of three different muscles. In order to tone ...
The use of a rope attachment allows for a full range of motion, targeting both the lateral and medial heads of the triceps. Attach a rope handle to a cable machine, grasp it with both hands, and ...
Biceps brachii is the main elbow flexor but, as a biarticular muscle, also plays important secondary roles as a stabiliser at the shoulder and as a supinator. It originates on the scapula with two tendons: That of the long head on the supraglenoid tubercle just above the shoulder joint and that of the short head on the coracoid process at the ...
This exercise is an example of the primary function of the triceps, the extension of the elbow joint. There are multiple variations to the push-down that will target the triceps muscle in different ways. Rope push-down is a variation that involves connecting a rope attachment to a cable machine. While executing a rope push-down, the palms face ...

The antagonistic pair of biceps and triceps working to flex the elbow. Antagonist and agonist muscles often occur in pairs, called antagonistic pairs. As one muscle contracts, the other relaxes. An example of an antagonistic pair is the biceps and triceps; to contract, the triceps relaxes while the biceps contracts to lift the arm.
Inflammation to the tendons and muscles at these attachment points can lead to medial and/or lateral epicondylitis. This can occur through a range of factors that overuse the muscles that attach to the epicondyles, such as sports or job-related duties that increase the workload of the forearm musculature and place stress on the elbow.
