Bodybuilding: Side Tricep Pose
Table of Contents
What Is Side Tricep Pose?
There are several variations of the side tricep pose that individuals may prefer to execute. However, the objective remains consistent: to naturally and effectively showcase your body's strengths from the side. From round delts to horse-shoe triceps to hanging hamstrings, the display of the body is just as important as training.

How to Do Side Tricep Pose
Here are three steps to guide you in performing a standard side tricep pose on your right side:
Similar to the side chest pose, the leg positioning for the side triceps pose is nearly identical. Start by gently bending your left knee while keeping your left foot grounded. Lift your right heel off the floor, rising onto your toes, and simultaneously bend your right knee. Ensure your toes are positioned in the middle of your left foot. Proceed by moving your right leg in front of your left leg and pressing them together. Then, engage your quadriceps and glutes by flexing them, creating a sweeping effect on both your front and back legs.
Grasp your right arm by the wrist or hand, and extend and flex your right arm out, emphasizing your triceps. Simultaneously, pull your right shoulder back to display your chest, serratus, and midsection, enhancing your side profile.
Lastly, modestly turn and twist your waist to maximize width in the upper body while minimizing the midsection.
