While working on their arms, many people concentrate on the biceps and completely forget about the workouts for the triceps. Of course, working on your triceps is super important since you have to develop these muscles in order to have strong and relief arms. So how to train your triceps and grow beautiful muscles? This is the question we’ll try to answer in this article. Is It Difficult to Develop Triceps? Many people believe that growing triceps is extremely challenging, but luckily, it’s not true. The thing is anatomically triceps are rather easy to train and eventually grow. At the same time, these muscles easily get sore after training and therefore impact your entire arm workout routine since you aren’t able to do certain exercises. In general, working on triceps is not as difficult as many people think, yet it still requires some time and effort. How Long Does It Take To Grow Triceps? The amount of time it takes to develop triceps depends on what you are striving for as well as what you start with. For example, if you are skinny and you just want to make your arms more fit, a few months will be enough. In case you want to grow really pronounced muscles, you might need from 6 to 12 months. At the same time, if you have some extra pounds, working on your triceps can take longer since you also have to lose weight. As you can see, every situation is different, so it’s hard to give you the precise amount of time you’ll need to grow your triceps. How Often Should I Exercise? To grow any muscle group as well as be healthy and fit, you need to work out at least three times a week. Of course, you need to understand that even if you try to develop triceps, you still have to work on other muscle groups, so all the muscles in your body are harmoniously developed. In general, most trainers recommend doing 4-6 exercises for triceps during your workouts. Each exercise has to be done in 2-3 sets, while the set has to have 10-15 repetitions. In addition to that, you have to keep in mind that you should start with simple workouts and gradually move towards more advanced ones to see the results of your training sessions.

Sooner or later, every athlete gets injured, especially runners, and most injuries occur in the ankle joint, the medial and lateral parts of the foot. What are the possible causes?

Sure, everyone familiar with running knows the importance of strengthening the foot and ankle ligaments. The other thing is that sometimes it's hard to spend 5-10 minutes preparing for ankle exercises: we get dressed, lace up our shoes and run down the street. This is unfortunate. After all, good elastic ligaments can reduce the risk of leg pain. And strong ankle muscles can improve lower back and even shoulder strength when you're running or just walking. Of course, there are plenty of good exercises to help you strengthen your ankles, so without further ado, let's take a look. Stretching Sit on the floor and straighten your leg in front of you. It's important to make sure your big toe, little toe, and heel stay in the same direction as you extend your foot. Only then the muscles will be strengthened and stretched in a balanced manner so that you don't walk and run with your foot falling out or in. While pulling your foot apart, stretch your toes as much as possible, as if you were lengthening them, without tucking them under your feet. Repeat 15 times. Rolling Pose From a seated position, place your feet in front of you and bring your feet as close to yourself as possible. Spread your knees and keep your feet together. Keeping your feet in this position, place your hands on the floor, bend your body forward and lift your pelvis off the floor and try to stay in this position for a while. If you feel your potential, you can roll to the left and to the right, touching your feet with the palms of your hands. Rising and falling Exercise It is traditionally recommended to do these on a ladder, but doing them slowly on a flat surface will give good results. Raise your toes as high as you can, keeping your heels in the air, then bend your knees so your heels are forward. Place your heel on the floor and then straighten your leg. It is very important to make sure your knees and ankles don't flip or drop. Dumbbell Squats Deep squats are good for developing the ankles, and when combined with dumbbells or barbells (if you have trained enough), this exercise is even more effective. Start with dumbbells that you can lift 15 times without dropping to the floor. 2-3 kg is suitable for beginners. Bodybuilders need to lift more weight to develop their leg muscles. Make a deep squat as follows: stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides, holding a dumbbell, or if you are doing the exercise with a barbell, place it in front of your chest or behind your head. Sit down with your knees bent and your hips on the floor. Keeping your back straight, squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Keep your knees straight over your feet at all times and do not extend your knees further than your toes. Return to the starting position. Perform 2 sets of 10-15 squats each. Lunges Keeping your torso straight and your shoulders back, step forward and sit until both knees are at a 90-degree angle. Your knees should not protrude over your toes. Do a series of two on each leg and repeat 10 times. Final Words Strengthening your ankles is crucial for professional and amateur athletes alike, so whether sports are your life or you're just exercising to stay healthy, in is necessary to work on your ankles.
