Etymology
Triceps is Latin for 'three-headed', reflecting the three parts of this muscle. Brachii means 'of the arm'. Triceps brachii is often called the triceps (both singular and plural). However, some authors describe the triceps surae muscle, and so this term is somewhat ambiguous. For other uses, see Latins and Latin (disambiguation). ...
The triceps surae a term given by some anatomists to the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles together as they both insert into the calcaneus, the bone of the heel of the human foot, and from the major part of the muscle of the back part of the lower leg (the calf...
Origin and insertion The three heads have the following names and origins: The fibers converge to a single tendon to insert onto the olecranon process of the ulna (though some research indicates that there may be more than one tendon.)[1] The infraglenoid tubercle is the part of the scapula to which the long head of the triceps brachii attaches. ...

Actions The triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint, and is an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. It can also fixate the elbow joint when the forearm and hand are used for fine movements, eg when writing. An extensor muscle is any skeletal muscle that opens a joint increasing the angle between components of a limb, such as straightening the knee or elbow and bending the wrist or spine. ...

Brachialis is a flexor muscle in the upper arm. ...
The triceps accounts for approximately 70 percent of the upper arm's muscle mass.
Training The triceps can be worked through either isolation elbow extension movements, contract statically to keep the arm straightened against resistance, or compound pressing movements.
Isolation movements include cable push-downs, "skull-crushers", and arm extensions behind the back.
Static contraction movements are pullovers, straight-arm pulldowns, and bent-over lateral raises, which are also used to build the butt deltoids and latissimus dorsi.
Examples of pressing movements are press ups, bench presses (level, incline or decline), military presses and dips. Using a closer grip stabilizes the arm allowing more weight to be used, so the triceps can be worked harder without being limited by the strength of the pectorals or shoulders.
Elbow extension is important to many athletic activities. As biceps are often worked more for aesthetic purposes, this is usually a mistake for fitness training. While it is important to maintain a balance between the biceps and triceps for postural & effective movement purposes, what the balance should be and how to measure it is a conflicted area. Pushing and pulling movements on the same plane are often used to measure this ratio.
