To effectively target your triceps during a tricep press, focus on maintaining proper form and technique, specifically keeping your shoulders stationary and driving the weight down.
Here's a breakdown of key elements:
-
Shoulder Stability: Ensure you are not shrugging your shoulders during the exercise. Keep them stationary throughout the movement to isolate the triceps.
-
Controlled Movement: Drive the weight down in a controlled manner, engaging the triceps muscle.
-
Grip Options: You can use either a pronated grip (palms facing down) or a neutral grip (palms facing each other), depending on your preference and comfort level. Both options can effectively target the triceps.
