INSANE: Tricep dips vs skull crushers which is best for building bigger upper arms - The Real Truth

A man performing tricep dips on a dip station and a man performing skull crushers with dumbbells.

When it comes to adding size to our arms, most people turn their attention to the biceps. Busting out endless curls may feel great and leave you with an impressive pump, but what you should be thinking about is the triceps. 

The triceps are bigger than your biceps, they’re actually the largest muscle in your arm and make up two-thirds of it. Neglect that amount of muscle and you’re only limiting your chances for super-sized arms. Not only that, but stronger triceps help you smash various compound exercises, like the bench press, as they help with lockout strength and shoulder stability.
