This exercise done in this way, really exposes how painfully weak my triceps are. I can only do 2 reps with 40 lbs dumbells… This must explain why my flat presses are so weak…I wonder..
I've been watching your content for a while now. Excellent instruction. It's really helped me tighten up my form. I feel like all my lifts have improved. Thanks for your great teaching!
This is awesome because my elbows hurt when I do lying tricep extensions with the cambered bar ..I also find myself starting to stall out just before the lock out on the overhead press where the triceps takes over from the shoulders awesome video
Truly phenomenal. Super helpful video. Highly appreciate the effort you put into creating all the amazing videos and sharing them with us. Your knowledge and wisdom is quite valuable and important to us. Totally outstanding work as always. Your channel is a huge source of inspiration and motivation for me. Keep being incredible! 💪
That is a great exercise, and you've explained it very well. I also like Rippetoe's instructions; he says that to perform it correctly you have to envision that you're _throwing_ the weight when performing the extension.
Gotta try these today, since I can't do barbell skullcrushers/french press. It just rips my elbows in a bad way, no matter how much I warm up or play with the technique.
Hmm, might take them conservative the first time, but soreness tends to happen when you introduce new movements, especially with higher volume. Thanks for commenting.
@@BarbellLogic Thanks for the reply. No complaints here about the DOMS. I know they're not necessarily "good," or a sign of progress, but they do let you know you hit the target muscle. And these definitely did that. Yeah, I think I did take it pretty conservative the first time. Only 20 lb dumbbells for about 3x10. But I haven't done any triceps isolation exercises in a long time; I've just been doing compounds for quite a while. But I wanted to add in a triceps isolation exercise to my routine, which is how I ended up here. I also went pretty slow on the eccentric, which probably contributed a lot to the DOMS.
Great channel! Nice tweek to a exercise Ive always liked-going to try this week- I live on CZcams and its always great to see good content with knowledgeable creators-Im going to mention your channel on my live show this weekend and keep up the good work!👍🍺🍺
Yes these will smoke your triceps as good as any small movement I’ve ever done. Is that the rep fitness Fb5000? If so do you like it? Was thinking of purchasing one for my home gym.
Wow, was looking for a replacement for the lying tricep extension with a barbell as I hit my head pretty hard with the bar and thought dumbells would be terrible as they would have too much side to side motion. This makes a ton of sense! Any advice on how to overload? My gym has only 5lb increments of dumbells. I was thinking I could work from 3x5 to 3x10 and then increase the weight
The big thing is to separate the shoulder and elbow movements. For the descent--elbows, shoulders. Ascent--shoulders, elbows. Separate those and you won't have a problem.

This is the best explanation for this exercise I've seen. Excellent!
I wish I had someone that looked at me the way William looks into that camera
Best video I've seen on this movement.
Thanks.
Josef erikson does this and he benches 250 kg and its a really great exercise
boom!
loved this video, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT - instructive, good demonstration, short and concice!
Thanks!

Blows up the triceps--All the damn time, too! Compound press, followed by Rolling Dumbbell Extensions--guaranteed.
Boom!
That is a great exercise, and you've explained it very well.

Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks! 🙏
Thank you
thank you
Hay matt great job on the video iam going to try this thank you
Thanks for this. I'm gonna have to give this one a shot.
Your triceps will appreciate it.
These gave me crazy triceps DOMS the next day like I haven't gotten in a long time. And this is despite doing lots of dips and presses for a while.

@@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy Thanks for the follow up comment. Yep.
good informative and great explanation of the extra movement. thank you for being clear
Thanks for watching!
Great video, and it makes sense. Will definitely try it!Thanks!
Oh, let the gains begin.. Makes perfect sense.
Saw this video for the first time today and tried these. Awesome stretch, better than skull crushers with a barbell.
I just did this yesterday.
Excellent!
Excellent. Will try next time.
Lying tricep extensions are the best
Thank you!! My elbows don't hurt anymore.
Great, will try this later, thanks.
Everything is great except that my neck hurts without any support😅
I just now found your page. This is a great video. I look forward to seeing more from your page.
Thanks for watching!
Cmon do it with 70lbs dbs not 20s
Great stuff as always. Thank you:)
What about my neck that hurts to be in isometric hold? Thanks

Just found your page, new subscriber! Appreciate the tips!
Thanks so much!

I love it! Best bench I've ever used!
Just started doing these, i highly recommend
Are they better than skullcrushers
@@gr9569 they’re fine, skullcrushers and overhead extensions are staples fora reason. its just another took
Is DB the best for this? I’ve been doing this roll movement with a straight bar, or EZ bar and found it effective.
Either one is great. There is no perfect or best triceps move. Do one with EZ curl bar for a bit, then do this with DBs for awhile.
Looks awesome, definitely going to add these to my workouts
Can i do this exercise one arm at a time?
Sure
Pretty close to a PJR pullover

That's exactly right. I'd go from 3x6 to 3x12, then bump the weight up.
Is there a risk to overly engaging the shoulders here? If so, how do you avoid?
The big thing is to separate the shoulder and elbow movements. For the descent--elbows, shoulders. Ascent--shoulders, elbows. Separate those and you won't have a problem.
@@BarbellLogic thanks! I’ve been using this exercise in the gym.
@@AngeloPerez23983 We're glad--we're sure your triceps appreciate it--haha.
How does this not hurt peoples necks? My head is so heavy 🤣 all those thoughts...
Lol...I guess your neck will get stronger too.
If you have never done these before, you will experience some DOMS the next day after.
For sure!
This just looks like a neutral grip Skullcrusher.
It is... but with slight modifications that make quite a marked difference.
I hate all this excess flapping. Do fucking lift
