Meet Maya Torres
Maya Torres
Founder & Writer
Maya Torres has spent over a decade in the gym obsessing over arm training. After dealing with her own tricep tendonitis and spending hundreds of hours researching recovery protocols, she realized there was no single source that covered everything about the triceps — from anatomy to exercises to injury recovery. That's why she built Triceps Atlas. When she's not writing or lifting, she's probably reading the latest sports medicine research.
Our Mission
There are thousands of fitness websites out there, but almost none dedicated to a single muscle group. We believe depth beats breadth. By focusing exclusively on the triceps, we can cover every angle that matters — from the anatomy of the three heads to the best exercises for each one, from understanding why your elbow hurts after skull crushers to navigating a full surgical repair protocol.
Every article on Triceps Atlasis written to be the most thorough resource available on its topic. We don't publish thin content. We don't recycle the same generic advice. We go deep.
Our Approach
We combine real training experience with thorough research. When we write about tricep tendonitis recovery timelines, we reference published orthopedic research. When we break down lateral head exercises, we draw from biomechanics studies and years of personal experimentation in the gym.
That said, we are not doctors. We are not physical therapists. We are dedicated lifters who read the research and translate it into practical guidance. For medical decisions, always consult a qualified healthcare provider.
Editorial Standards
Every article on this site goes through a rigorous process. We research the topic thoroughly, write from a place of genuine experience, cite sources where medical or scientific claims are made, and update content regularly as new information becomes available.
We include a last-updated date on every article so you know how current the information is. If we get something wrong, we fix it.
How We Make Money
Triceps Atlas is reader-supported. Some articles contain links to products on Amazon. When you purchase through these links, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This revenue helps us keep the site running and continue producing free content.
Our product recommendations are based on what we genuinely believe is useful for tricep training. We never recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission. If we wouldn't use it ourselves, we don't recommend it.
