Tips

usage
Common gym/anatomy companions: 二头肌 (èrtóujī, biceps), 胸肌 (xiōngjī, pecs), (bèijī, back muscles), 腹肌 (fùjī, abs), 三角 (sānjiǎojī, deltoids). Gym splits like '' (chest + triceps) are stated this way.
memory
Literal: 'three-head muscle' — exactly the Latin meaning of 'triceps' (tri- 'three' + caput 'head'). The triceps has three heads of origin, hence the name in both languages.
