Title: 235LB Tricep Overhead Extensions
Post by: Royalty on October 23, 2022, 07:28:16 AM
What is the heaviest amount of weight that has been used on this exercise?

Isn't that 305lbs? 6 X 45s and the bar is 35?  ???

Don’t understand how people can do bar overhead extensions,they always kill my shoulders, just use a dumbbell 2 arm one bell or 1 arm 1 bell and no shoulder pain.

I don’t do overhead extensions or skull Crusher with free weights. Absolute great way to destroy one’s joints.

Never understood any of that shit. Guy was hyped up for years. We’re people just blind? Always laughed at his lifts. I remember him talking about doing 160ish lb laterals then saw him do them and it was laughable at best. Not as bad as the whole gym pulling up on his bench presses though. Hahah.

Second this.

Even literally identically movements except with a straight bar and cable as opposed to an ez bar do not agitate my elbows in the slightest

Triceps is maybe the only muscle i favour cables over free weights

Kazmaier and Arcidi had a rep for doing extensions heavy, Arcidi especially. He'd get up into the low-mid #300's on the skull crusher versions for reps.

Hard to say, but Ivanko did have aluminum sets available to photographers, the #45s weighted 15-16lbs each. If real, I'd agree with #305.

I bought a tricep bar for my home gym.. it´s all i use now because i find the parallel grip better ( for me ) also i use bands at home.

why, no real stretch in close grip benches but build MASS

I can honestly say that NGB don’t seem to do much for me but overheads and dips do quite a bit. I’m just speaking from personal experience I guess but for me triceps need the full stretch that only overheads can provide. For me triceps grow on stretch,same with back,traps,chest and calves. For bis and forearms it’s mid range that gets me Growth,abs and shoulders contraction. If this makes any sense?

It does make sense ... have you used the POF training system ? asking as you mention mid range & stretch positions.

Yes I do....overhead triceps extension no matter which way you do them is the only exercise where the triceps are fully stretched.

No never have used it specifically but have read all about it. So maybe subconsciously.

Forearm flexors midrange
Biceps midrange
Forearm extensors contraction
Shoulders contraction
Traps a bit of both stretch and contraction
Triceps stretch
Chest stretch
Back stretch
Calves stretch and a bit of contraction
Hamstrings midrange
Quads stretch
Glutes midrange

If training any of these muscle most of the workout will focus on those positions.obviously I hit all ranges for every muscle but my focus is on what’s mentioned per body part.

Because you can use heavier weight Einstein.....couple this with good calories and over time you put on mass.

OK  :D
you see wes people do exercises but don´t really understand why it is they get results & they also waste time on exercises which bring very marginal results. Ask them why they do an exercise they don´t really know.
Your chest is very underdeveloped in the photo you posted thus showing you do not realise the 3 positions of a muscle,
Midrange
Stretch
contracted


you clearly do no dips or bench presses to hit the Midrange position, of course lying extensions do this too. Standing french press is only one exercise which will not give full development. There are exercises that train more than one position of flexion such as stiff legged deads.
Hope this helps
Jack.

    I used to use this move for triceps. I would typically use the bar and 4 -45 lb plates for sets and reps. when I was 67 I still used 2-45 and as much as 2 additional 25's for reps at times. after the open heart where they cut through your sternum and the torn rotator cuff , I don't use this move anymore. :'( :'( :'(

Insanely impressive poundages Funk.....I still include Swingbell Curls in my training but just a tad lighter than you.  LOL ;D

Also I never liked close grips but I will do them at times right after a set of Skullcrushers to extend the set....close grips always fucked my wrists up even if I wrapped them.
