what weight do you use on dumbbell seated overhead tricep extension?
« on: June 05, 2019, 12:28:59 PM »
i dont  think any other excercise for triceps is really necessary! at any rate that should be included in any arm arsenal !

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

I go 35-45-55 on seated one arm overhead extensions,I find two arms don’t work mybtricep as good and fuck with my shoulders.Years ago I would go up to 75 each hand but not any more.I have done seated two arm one bell with 140 but like I said it just hurt.

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.
