What is the best way to build my triceps muscles?

The best exercises for building triceps are dips and pushups, according to TricepsExerciseHQ.com. CalisthenicExercise.com includes dips and pushups as top tricep moves as well. These are body weight movements using a bench or chair. BodyBuilding.com highly recommends the body up, which is another body weight exercise.

Body weight movements are convenient for beginners and those without weight equipment. Using barbells and dumbbells, the BodyBuilding site gives high ratings to the close grip bench press and standing overhead tricep press. CalisthenicExercise recommends both pushups and dips as part of a workout routine; each works the triceps in addition to nearby muscles, such as the chest and shoulders.
