I find really heavy lying dumbbell pullovers (60k plus) make my triceps ache like nothing else on this earth....


I must emphasise this is not a stiff arm pullover, the intention is to make at least a 90 degree angle at the elbow...........

You will probably need quite a high bench and a good spotter and brace your legs on something.....

I use an old fashioned bench with my head at the bottom and uprights by my thighs which I them push into the uprights to help stabilise.

The movement is only what I can describe as “throwing an axe” rotating the wrists forward and squeezing at the top lock out position…..

If you follow this exercise with cable pushdowns I guarantee you wont be able to straighten your arms for about 3 days... I only do this heavy session once a fortnight on a Friday, because I bench on a Monday and if I nail this exercise I have still got massive overlap then.


Id recommend this to anyone, you wont be disappointed..
