I don't do them, but I tried them a while back and was able to play pretty easily with 135 lbs.  My joints really don't like the exercise much.

I have used a 160 pound DB in the past for 8-12 reps.

I've never done them heavy with a barbell, murders my wrists.

On getbig 185 for 15 reps without breaking a sweat.

IRL= 100 for 10, but then i cant do them for a few months because my elbows get so sore from the movement  :'(

it's a stupid exercise to try with heavy weight due to the scizzoring forces on your tendons . awkward

who cares how heavy you go anyway ?

show me the tricep

135x6 with a straight bar, using Lift4Size's form but going down to the base of my skull. it was brutal, but my triceps felt amazing afterwards. tips of my elbows have been acting up lately so i can't do any extensions at all.
