Yeah.. standing i never liked funky .. i think using an incline bench you can really concentrate more and i think because my upper back is braced it´s more shoulder/joint friendly.

I do them this way

Sometimes do,my gym also has a machine version of it which is a great variation

Aren't these just tri extensions (or skullcrushers as some call them) or is there a difference? Thought a lot of people do them. I do them with either straight bar or hold farther out on a cambered/ez bar (a la Jeff Rodriguez). Puts less stress on elbows/wrists, IMO.

Gotcha, I've always done my "skulls" behind the head (at least since JRod used to post on here if not before). Just assumed that most were shortchanging themselves by only going to head. I guess I just had them confused a bit in that I didn't know there were specific names for both. Thanks!

Been doing them for over 30 years.

I do one arm dumbbell extensions at the end of my triceps workout.

Pretty damn strong, but I believe it's key to keep your elbow close to your head. I also pause at the bottom for a second.

My fave tricep movement by a mile, done seated... It is a movement that can realy hit the long head and add a lot of size and volume to your arms, will also stress your elbows big time... Your triceps can push heavy weight, for me doing these too light and your missing out.

I use a cable version now, if you have an adjustable hight pulley, I set it just below shoulder hight and step out it, great stretch and pump, not as good as heavy ez bar, but as close as you can safely get.

Been doing for 15 years, very heavy. Elbow pain, sometimes, not much, nothing serious.

Db, hammer style. Ime limit your ROM if it's doing your elbows in.

Damn that chick is just my style. Too bad she's like 90 now.

When my left shoulder went dodgy on me, tricep movements where my elbow was above my shoulder were very painful. It's getting better, and I am adding more of these types of movements back. But I am very cautious.

AJ, same here... My right shoulder, elbow, knee and lower back are totally fecked up all of a sudden.
for 3+ weeks, I'm a limping/gimping old fuck.
Getting better and putting some exercises back into play, just very light and cautious.

ironmeister do you the history of this man??

Funk, IM's photoshop job on Birdsong is quite fitting.
As you know, he used to do the gay movies with Dakota and others (David Carter's "Iron Game").

(Bob Birdschlong).

Only if he wants it to be!
