Tight tricep muscles have an impact on two main muscle groups. First, tight muscles in the tricep tend to pull the lats. This is especially prevalent in the front squat where you triceps are extended, and assisting in balancing the barbell on your deltoids. Tightness in the triceps could cause your upper torso to lean forward. Second, the triceps are connected to the rear deltoid. Thus, any tightness will have a secondary effect on the shoulder.
