Grimes returned to competition last year and earned a victory during the 2023 Europa Pro Championships. This earned him a spot in the 2023 Olympia, where he finished ninth. Grimes has been hard at work bulking up again this year with a goal of returning in 2025 and has reached that goal.
The three heads of the tricep are the medial, lateral, and long. It is important to spend time on each and that is what Grimes is focusing on here with his three workouts.
Regan Grimes’ Top 3 Tricep Exercises
Rope Pressdowns
Regan Grimes started out by explaining the proper form of rope pressdowns. This will help hit the lateral head of the tricep if done correctly. Grimes urges weightlifters to keep elbows down and at their side rather than being too far back.
“When you’re getting into it, you don’t want to be bent over. You don’t want to be bringing your elbows back too far. Just place them at your side, come down, stand up nice and tall, and push that weight in front of you.”
One-Arm Dumbbell Extensions
The one-arm dumbbell extension is a movement to hit the long head of the tricep. Grimes completed this movement seated and focused on the natural movement of the exercise.
“My thing is, you just want to be as natural as possible. You don’t want to force your shoulder and arm into a position that it doesn’t want to go in. Just go with what’s natural.”
Machine Dips
The final of the three exercises is machine dips focused on triceps rather than chest. This is done by keeping your chest high enough rather than over, which would not accomplish what you are looking for.
“When getting into this exercise, you want to make sure that you’re keeping your chest up high.
That’s not what we’re trying to go for. We want to keep that chest nice and high. Elbow, turn them into your body, just a little bit.”
