Beginner Triceps Workout
A triceps session for your first months in the gym: 3 movements biased toward machines, cables, and bodyweight so you can learn each pattern before loading it heavy. Sets and rest follow each movement’s role: the main lift gets 4 sets of 6–8 with 120 seconds of rest, isolation work 2–3 sets of 12–20 with 45–60 seconds, and stretches 2 × 30–45 seconds. Plan on roughly 25 minutes.

How to progress
On lifting rows, add one rep per set each session. When every set reaches the top of its rep range with clean form, add the smallest weight increment your gym allows and build back up from the bottom of the range.
