my question to you my brothers in iron is this - what weight do you use ?

I tried these and initially liked the general feel, but within a couple of weeks, once the dumbbell reached a certain size (110-120s if memory serves), I couldn't get a good stretch at the bottom; the 'bell kept scraping my traps, so it felt like there was no resistance in the bottom half of the exercise. Incline extensions with an EZ bar are better IMO.
-
I use 75lbs to an 80lbs dumbbell for two hand one dumbbell tricep extension. It's one of those exercises you see guys using giant dumbbells but use partial reps to stroke their ego. I have elbow problems and it's one of the exercises I can go without too much trouble.

kal used 2-85 lbers for these.

i also like to use the single arm rope for various push downs for real isolation and variety

the single arm rope makes a good beating tool ;D

This is one of the best tricep movements you can do, unfortunately it's also the easiest most quickest way to injure your elbow. When I first started lifting I quickly got up to using the 120lb dumbbell for this exercise (both hands at the same time). But tennis elbow set in and I had to switch movements. Now I rarely do anything other than work on the pullies for triceps, though on occasion I will go very light weight and do a couple sets of these seated dumbbell skull crushers (using only ~25lbs

that would really hurt. remember the gym scene in oz when the one prisoner kills another inmate with a dumbbell.
-
one arm overhead tricep extension I'll go up to 100lb dbs for 8 reps (10 if I'm having a super strong day)....done some reps with 110lb db also, but only once in awhile will I push it like that
-
Always felt awkward only done them a few times, favourite 4 tricep exercises are Close grip pause bench, lying bb extensions with a straight bar lowered to the top of head rather than the forehead/nose, pushdowns bringing the bar up past the forehead and lying dB extensions one arm at a time with hammer grip.

Holy creation...
I knew you were a very strong guy, but that is just nuts. What are your best stats and lifts? No homo, naturally ;)
-

-

-
80 for three sets of 10-12.

I have extremely strong arms (both now and in my prime, but they were stronger in my prime).
Best lifts:
Bench 485 x 3 (never tried a single rep max....as weird as that is)
Squat 600lbs max tried and did for 1
Hack Squat 800+lbs for reps
Leg Press approx 800+lbs for a few (machines I've used only held up to 18 plates and I never knew how much sled factored in)
Deadlift 500lbs for reps (never gone for max effort on deadlifts....they never felt right to me)
Bent Over Row 405 x 5
TBar Row 405 x 5
Db Row 150lbs for a few (most I've tried and had access to)
Military Press 325 for a few (typically done on a smith)
Db Lateral and Front Raises 90lb dbs for a few (confident I can do 100s still)
Db Bent Over Rear Lateral Raises 100lb dbs for a few
Db Curls (both standard and hammer) 120lb dbs for a few (that's max....normal workout I'll top out at anywhere from 75-100lb dbs)
Lying tricep extensions 275lbs for reps (confident I could've done 300lbs, but I'll never know for sure)
Close Grip Bench 350lbs for a few (usually done on a smith)
Calf Raises stack on every machine I've ever been on for reps
Seated Calf Raises 320-330lbs for a few
Toe Raises on Leg Press 1,000+ lbs for a few
These are all best I've done in my prime that I remember. Can I do all of that today? LOL no. I train differently today (more sets and reps and squeezing and all that bb stuff).

LOL, best I could recall while sitting on my yacht counting my billions with my various supermodel girlfriends.

In my prime, 50 lb dumbbells for a strict 6-8 reps.
Now, older and wiser, 15-20lbs tops for strict reps to failure.

i do them like this no more than 100 lbs though. i'm old.
I used to do them extremely heavy from age 15 to around 25 until .......
I did a set six reps with two 45 plates ( 2 on each side) and have suffered from bursitis tendonitis ever since
is not necessary to go that heavy but I used to add half inch on tricep right after (while pumped )
in 30 years of training I have yet to see anyone doing it that heavy .....
WoooSHHHHHHHHHH
