If your triceps won’t grow no matter how often you train them there could be a simple reason why. The triceps are a set of muscles in our arms that normally do not get a lot of work in our every day lives. Since the triceps are not used as often as the biceps you might notice that if you have not trained your triceps for quite some time and then you have a reasonably intense triceps workout, the days following your workout your triceps get extremely sore.
