Better Than Overhead Extensions? Try THIS!

Decline dumbbell extensions are underrated. High progression potential, easy on the elbows, benching carryover, and builds the long head.

These go crazy. I started doing them because the cables were always taken at my university gym lol. Goes to show you can work full body at home with limited equipment.

Been following Alex for the last 6-7 years. Can't be happier for the progress he's made, not just physically!

[gregshock]

Used to do these with a barbell. Lowered the bar behind my head and got a massive stretch, then a great contraction. I’ll have to start them up again.

Tbh, my favorite triceps lift.

Thank you for this

[cristian]

I implemented these into my routine thanks to you and after doing them once they have become my favorite free weighted triceps isolation!
Super comfortable, great stretch and resistance profile!

[Johnsontherd]

Doesnt a pullover motion recruit more longhead tho? The longhead goes thru a motion instead of being static, thats why pjr pullovers are great for the triceps idk

[jakebobday]

I used to do these and my triceps were huge

[johnnytwoplate]

How to build up to 20 bw pullups without doing weighted pullups? I've been plateaud for several months at 12-14 reps at a bw of 195. I'm tall with long arms.

[mikep]

Yo Alex... any plans on upgrading to the new peppin series?

[yoavliebermann]

but the decline position makes the exercise more shortened biased right?

[marken]

How is this just not a dumbell skullcrusher with pauses?

[loregasmic]

If you can do 60 lbs on these you can definitely beat Kratos in the Tower of Salvation the first time

[llukas]

Damn, i was doing unilateral with 10kg at the most💀. Now you've set the bar a bit higher. Challenge accepted🗿

[shotbytoniorydell]

This made my triceps super pumped. I’d do 17 sets of 3-4 reps each no lie ! Followed up with 2x of dips only . I could literally feel my triceps crazy sore for two straight days . I only used 10lb -15lb dumbbells tho . Got same result . No need go heavy in my opinion

Top 3 movements

Bodyweight tricep extensions

Dumbell tricep extensions (any incline, variation is good)

Overhead cable (from the bottom, not top)

💪

Earlier today I've done 30s on this exercise for 9 and 7 reps (failed on 8th and done few partials). My arms are just under 14 inches. Eventually torso dominance must be broken despite having long arms

[austinhowley]

Wild pump too, there’s not really a resting point

[KiwiN]

Would you recommend these over cable extensions? Free weight variations always hammer my elbows compared to cables.

[uuuej]

I love doing this with myoreps, and when I get too tired I grab a smaller dumbbell for drop sets, take 5 minutes and my triceps are destroyed after.

[cflingo]

Yo Alex. I know you do BTN overhead presses. I was wondering what you thought about BTN Lat pulldowns. Is there any benefit in your view? I can do them pretty heavy without shoulder strain but didn't know if there is any advantage.
