How to Build Bigger Triceps & Abs at Home (No Equipment Needed)
Want to get defined arms and visible abs without a gym? You can — even if you're skinny and working out from home.
In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how I started seeing triceps definition and the first signs of abs in just 30 days using simple routines and Indian meals — no gym, no supplements.
Why Triceps and Abs Matter
Most people think biceps make your arms look big. But did you know triceps make up more than 60% of your arm size?
And abs? They’re not built by just doing crunches — they’re revealed through a combination of training and clean eating.
🔨 5 Best Triceps Exercises at Home
Do these exercises 3x a week. All you need is a floor, a chair, and your body.
- Diamond Push-Ups – 3 sets of 10–15 reps
- Chair Dips – 3 sets of 10 reps
- Close-Grip Push-Ups – 3 sets of 8–12 reps
- Overhead Tricep Extension (Backpack with books) – 3 sets of 12
- Wall Push-Up Hold (for 20 seconds) – 2 rounds
💡 Tip: Keep elbows close to your body. Focus on control, not speed.
