Yeah, doing this exercise with dumbbells feels so much better on the elbows compared doing it with a straight/ez bar. Even if you go heavy still feels comfortable and no unnecessary elbow pain.
Been doing these with dumbells for 4 months now and wow! My triceps look amazing already and my strength has improved like you wouldn't believe which in turn has improved all my pressing movements like never before in such a short space of time. Definitely can't recommend this exercise enough guys!
@@andrewledford3865 dude he was just saying what works for him and that he also uses what Jay was just showing. Plus some people respond differently and also if you love a movement and it's somewhat effective it's going to work better than others because of consistency. You're more likely to do it more often if you like it. But like I said as long as the thing you like also works and is it dangerous Chillout
Funny, DIPs are much more effective for me than any triceps movement and I tend to do then very slowly and very light weight to really focus on the muscle, but still can't feel a thing when I do overhead extension or moves like that. Dips on the other hand, I tend to do them with no extra weight with 20 - 30reps, and I feel a burn in my triceps everytime I do them, in a good way of course.
You'll find out some exercises have different names put by different people. These are also often called Lying Overhead Extensions, I prefer Skullcrushers tho, sounds sick lol
I absolutely love the lighting setup of his gym. I'll do bench press at my gym and my eyes are burnt out my skull with the lights. 🇦🇺. Cambered bar? That's what you call it. Curl bar here.
I began using the dumbbell version a few months ago and you can definitely feel the stretch better and I feel a tighter contraction than with the bar, great recommendation
i always thought these were skullcrushers & french presses were where you were sitting w the dumbbell behind your head, pressing that way? i’m probably wrong lol
I've started to do French Press with one heavy dambell after Jay's advise in an another video of him. Inner head of triceps responded perfectly 💯 Thanks legend 👍🏻💪🏻
Jay has forgotten more about weightlifting than I’ll ever know, but that movement I stopped doing a long time ago. Skull crushers. Even with good form it hurt my elbows a lot and would leave me with pain.
I have a question for you regarding triceps. It might sound dumb. I use 3 different exercises for triceps, cable being my favorite. When working them heavy and the intense burn is there, I keep going and after 3/5 more reps, the burn subsides and I can keep going burn free. Further sets are then burn free.I can then add a little more weight and do even more. Should I keep going AFTER the burn subsides or should I stop during the burn. I dont want to hurt myself.
I love these..I feel like doing it with the dumbbells are slightly easier on the elbows..I work with heavy steel,hammering etc etc all day so my elbows can ache like a bastard with some tricep movements.
I've always done these but on incline with dumbbells.. and my rotation of my wrists might be a little different but definitely feel it in the longhead of my tricep which is what i'm trying to do.. didn't know it was called a french press 🤘🏽 thats sick.
My first workout for my tricep it will be either the lying down skull crusher using the straightbar or ez bar, but the other day again for my tricep will be the other variation using the dumbell doing this exercise the lying french press,, it gives my tricep so much stretch thats why i build a good tricep and after the end the finisher will be the tricep push down.
If Jay is recommending it, it is probably easier on your elbows. The guy knows how to stay healthy.
He actually says in a different video, be careful with these workouts, and try not to go too heavy as it will blow out your elbows.

100% most important thing is to angle out slightly like he’s doing. If you go straight back you’re putting a lot of stress on the elbow.
Was legit just thinking of tricep workouts
Yes trt😮
Jay is in great shape for a retired pro
He's going to compete again
He’s in great shape by any standard tbh
I was thinking the same thing. He looks great.
He will be competing in the Masters division when he hits 50
@@lancemanyon7645 He already told 100 times he 100% will not compete.
I’m 69. Bad shoulder. Started this routine. Love it, feel it, see it. Thanks
Keep it up man
*69? Nice!*
yeah you type like a grandpa too
you comment like a youngin@@yeeyee52
Keep it up

Started doing it recently and its now one of my top triceps exercise
Super underrated exercise. Rarely see people doing these
This is what mainly built my triceps
I see them all the time here and there.
I actually think the dips and the overhead extension build my triceps but the french press are the third exercise I use every now and then.
Yeah I'm sure Jay Cutler has no clue what he's talking about.
@@andrewledford3865 I don’t think he was saying jay was wrong

@@ZETxZ4 20-30 with bodyweight is good 💪
Close grip bench press on a slight decline is great if you have elbow pain
Thanks for all the advice and tips!
Nice definitely adding this one to my routine. (This is my 2nd year working out)
Great to see the legend putting out these solo workout vids. ...fired up to hit the gym!!!
as a french person, i can certify that i am a press
Stop the press!
This guys gym blows my mind everytime. So fkn nice
Looking huge, love these pro tips, helps so much. Appreciate you Jay.
feels more "shakey" with dumbells but my wrists and elbows are happy i switched away from the barbell
Use slightly less weight than you would with a barbell
Do you have any recommendations for a slightly torn left shoulder rotator cuff?
Jay is a solid guy through and through. Very down to earth and friendly. Love watching all his free tips to help better our workouts.
I am the biggest fan...so plz come to INDIA....
W Jay
ain't nothin' but a coffee bean
I'm gonna try this. It looks safer than skull crushers too.
So thick! You’re amazing, Jay!
Isn’t that just called skullcrushers
pretty much yes
Yea but J has no idea what he’s talking about lol!
You'll find out some exercises have different names put by different people. These are also often called Lying Overhead Extensions, I prefer Skullcrushers tho, sounds sick lol
Skullcrushers are futher back behind your head. While still laying on bench though
@@ts5186wots the difference if they both work the long head just the skullcrushers have a greater stretch
I absolutely love the lighting setup of his gym. I'll do bench press at my gym and my eyes are burnt out my skull with the lights. 🇦🇺.
Cambered bar? That's what you call it. Curl bar here.
That gym is horrible, most depressing place to train.
Big jay 💯🥊
Love this movement, its solid 💪🏼💯
Jay you’re a legend, you look amazing bro - thanks for all these awesome technique videos - been using them in the gym and loving the help
Freedom Press
😂
The more movements you do the more elegant you look!
I began using the dumbbell version a few months ago and you can definitely feel the stretch better and I feel a tighter contraction than with the bar, great recommendation
Love french press/skullcrushers, use camber bar is ideal. Do those and then tricep v handle(i think thats what you call it) pressdowns and all set
Very good 👍
Number one exercises dips😮
Yup, that’s how I make coffee. 🤣
I thought this called a skull crasher but hey if Jay says it’s French it must be 😂
It is the lying dumbell extension. French Press is done upright, seated or standing.
Le Skullcrusheur.
@@drdeesnutts48oui oui 👌🏼😂
Sick music!🤘🔥
I love these gym tip shorts
Love these jay! Boston ma 👍💪
i always thought these were skullcrushers & french presses were where you were sitting w the dumbbell behind your head, pressing that way? i’m probably wrong lol
it's so epic to see this epic physique like Jay's Cutlers to get back in shape again! Keep it up legend!
Best tricep exercise for sure!
I swear by this excercise. It blew up my triceps like crazy.
Nice
Jay looking natty af

Wow thanks Jay youre amazing i only have dumbells at home so this is very good!
Im adding this 2 my routine. 💪I've done these before years ago.
Wow i loved to do these for a while, super glad to see jay condone it
How are these different from dumbbell skull crushers? Or are they the same just different name?
Definitely trying this today..
great exercise..... great contraction
You are boss always ❤😊 always legend
They look like skullcrushers to me.
😎
These things killed my elbows
I've started to do French Press with one heavy dambell after Jay's advise in an another video of him. Inner head of triceps responded perfectly 💯 Thanks legend 👍🏻💪🏻
Wow so good the gym I Love You ❤
I always feel something in my bicep when I do these
I've always known this as skull crushers
Works like magic
Can I suggest you superset these with kickbacks
One of my favorites!
Fantastic thank you for the info
Get it champ 👏👏👏
Jay has forgotten more about weightlifting than I’ll ever know, but that movement I stopped doing a long time ago. Skull crushers. Even with good form it hurt my elbows a lot and would leave me with pain.
I love this guy. I want to meet him. He is the most humble guy in the sport.
These kill my elbows! Anyone else?
Heard french press, immediately thought of coffee.
I like the one dumbbell 2 hand overhead french presses
Felt the burn
Jay is The Man! Thanks Champ!
Best tricep exercise is the one you enjoy to do and do with the best form.
Skull crusherzz
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thanks!
I have been doing this already for triceps let’s go
This guy is awesome!!!
I always have trouble with tricep exercises
You should. That’s why it’s called a workout
Isn’t that skill crushers with dumbbells?
Looks like he’s working out in a casino!!😂

What’s good for the OUTER head of the triceps?

Great 👍
Tricep extensions are king
Respect for this legende jay cutler
thought a French press was just a machine to make coffee before this video. I appreciate the enlightenment
