Tricep Exercises!!! - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

What's everyone's favourite tricep Exercise for strength on the Bench?

I like Lying Tricep Extensions with A Dumbell in Each Hand, I can do 6 Reps with a 45KG Dumbell in each Hand, bringing the Dumbells right down behind me.

I feel that Any lying extension seems to Increase the Bench Press, but just watch the old Elbows, because sometimes they can get Injured.

I used to be a no bad Bencher at under 90KG bodyweight.

Why do you say bull****, I have benched 200KG for 3 Reps at under 90KG raw.

I ment to say I have done 45KG for 6 Reps easy, on wednesday I done an easy 3 Reps at lying Dumbell Extensions, with 42.5KG Dumbells could have got 6 If my elbows where not Hurtin.

Even just after 8 Weeks back into training after a 2 year layoff I can bench 170KG for 2, and I done a 2 Finger froces rep at 200KG, so I can probably allready do a 185-190KG Bench Raw Again, even after just really starting back, I am about 90-91KG the now.

This is really not that heavy.

I'd like to see some videos of that!
I'm with DB and dave on this one. I'd love to be proved wrong tho.

What are your squats and deads?

As for tricep exercises, I like dips and push downs.

trickymicky69 · 22-02-2007, 04:54 PM

i would say dips are the best tricep exercise when done correctly and with proper form.

DB · 22-02-2007, 05:04 PM

Let's up the stakes a little. If he can do it, how about you wear pink frilly posing trunks at your next comp?

SteveJ · 22-02-2007, 05:09 PM

O.K I do Lying Tricep Extensions next Wednesday, I will video it, on Mobile Phone.

I will try the 45KG Dumbells for 1-3 Reps, I will probably get at least 2, even though I have had not much training, as I said I am just really starting back 8 Weeks, from a 2 year layoff.

I bring the Lying Dumbell Tricep Extensions with my head off the bench a wee bit, then I bring the Dumbells all the way down to back of my head, then I bring them up.

I don't understand why people think I talk SH*T, that is not that heavy, give me another 6 Months training and it probably want be that heavy to me either, The Big Boys Could use probably Double this Weight.

I would rather make freinds here, than people saying I talk SH*T, but I suppose I will have to show you.

Let's get it intresting, If I get at least 2 Reps the now, I want the people who don't belive me to dress uip in a dress and Makeup and do a Workout, and Tape It HEE HEE HEE, that would be some Video to see, what does anyone else think, I think it would be a good laugh, all in good freindship.

I must admit I found it a little extraordinary doing lying dumb bell extensions with that much weight. I use 32kg bells and I'm considered to be bl**dy strong on that movement. I suspect that my technique is stricter as I start with the dumb bells not directly over my face as I'm lay down, they are just beyond my head with my arms straight at the elbow. From that position I bend the elbow only (no movement at the shoulder) to about 90 degrees, keeping the dumb bells apart six inches, and then return to the start as described above, not above my face. This eliminates the dead spot that occurs if you return to a vertical midpoint.

With the 32kg bells I can get 7-8 strict reps out. What I suspect Steve may be doing here (apologies if I am wrong here bud) is performing a two handed pullover-to-extension movement, which would allow a much greater weight, but is not strictly a tricep movement.
Pop your video up Steve when you can, and prove us all wrong. I'd be mighty impressed if you do them like me with 45kg bells cos that's some serious iron on that movement.

SteveJ · 22-02-2007, 06:47 PM

HI 9Pack

Yes my technique is more like you said, like a pullover I think, but when I post the Vid Up you can see how I do it, this will be my Bodyweight on this Exercise, maybe after a good 6 Months back in training I will try the Real Bodybuilding way with the 45KG, then I will post another Vid up.

As I said I do not think this is that good, just ordinary I say.

Someone asked me what I squat and Deadlift, because of a slipped disk years ago I never ever tried to go heavy on these exercises, I was too scared to cripple my self, I was in pain for years with this Injury and could only just do wee bit of light training, but after a 2 Year layoff from training I have noticed it has Improved about 70%, I done a Deadlift from knees with 280KG a few weeks ago with no straps, it felt like my Back was going to snap, but I will train the Deadlift and Squat with as much as I possibly can, and Hopefully at the end of this year they will be no bad, nothing great but no bad for a man with a slipped disk and Sciatic Problems.

I also hope to be able to bench 220KG Raw at about 90KG Bodyweight in the next 6-12 Months, don't know If I will but I will give it my best Shot, and yes this will be with a arch and maybe my Bum slightly off the Bench

You had a 2 year lay off and lifted 280kg unaided with a slipped disc??? Mate your claims are outrageous lol
