Why incorporate a triceps bar into your workouts?
The special shape of this body-building bar stimulates the triceps. It allows you to vary the position of your hands with its different grips, thus recruiting different fibers for each muscle group. As a complement to a conventional barbell, with which you work the biceps, the triceps bar is useful for balancing the arm muscles.
Use your triceps bar safely
