Tiger Tail Triceps

BicepsBody WeightIntermediate

The Tiger Tail Triceps exercise targets the triceps muscles, promoting strength and stability in the upper arms.

  1. Start by standing or sitting with your back straight.
  2. Extend your arms overhead, keeping your elbows close to your ears.
  3. Slowly lower your forearms behind your head, maintaining control.
  4. Push back up to the starting position, engaging your triceps throughout the movement.

How to perform the Tiger Tail Triceps

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Tiger Tail Triceps using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
