I find it easier to use a heavier dumbbell with both but also do them single arm as well to try to achieve symmetry. Probably easier to hurt yourself single arm.
I get tendonitis every time I do this movement either DB or with an EZ bar. My body just doesn't like it, and when I could do them pain-free, the gains weren't any better than other shit.
Getting there, I'm almost 50, but incidentally, this is the ONLY fricking movement that makes my elbows hurt. No other tricep movement or close-grip benching has that effect.
Been a /misc/tard for over a decade, never started coming to IST until about a year or two ago out of curiosity to see what a mess this place was. All suspicions confirmed.
Lifting since about 1995, shitposting at least that long, it keeps me young. I miss trolling morons on ICQ like you wouldn't believe, it was fun convincing Pajeets that grease fires were the leading cause of American deaths and that maritime disasters were the 2nd leading cause.

I'm a weird young guy so I think I'm on the right track.
It turns it into a hybrid. It gives you the loading capability of skull crushers, the long head stimulation of a French press, and gets rid of the elbow and shoulder issues involved with both. There's no reason not to include it in your program and it mogs almost all other triceps exercises
mildly engages the abs, which is why I started doing as many db exercises as i can standing. however, im moronic and i heard its worse for your rotator cuffs and joints so i dunno what to believe
If you've never injured your rotator cuffs or joints, then you're intelligent enough to lift with dumbbells. I assume its low IQ people who are constantly injuring themselves doing common exercises.
Protip to homegym chads/poverty ghettosuperchads: If you have a backpack and some db', plates or whatever, put them in a bakcpack and use a towel as a handle. Or just put the plates inside a towel and use the towel as a handle. INSANE mind muscle connection, INSANE pump, INSANE DOMS. Either my personal second or best tircep ext in terms of how much i feel it and soreness. Be warned when starting to work out with a towel it might burn your forearms and grip at first and uncomfortable for 2-4 weeks so start out easy 15-20-25 rep ranges and build from there.
interesting
I do single arms, what is the difference

i do both. first the heavier weight with both arms and then more reps with singles for even more hypertrophy gains
Ruins your elbows-the most by far.
post body

Are you geriatric by any chance?

Damn anon, how long have you been using this site? Also how long have you been lifting for? I hope to be shitposting still when I'm a grandpa.

Adjust your form if your elbows start popping moron. Are you moronic? Yes you are.
Better variation. Easier on the shoulder and elbow joint with the same tricep stimulation
Why the incline?
I'm trans

Yes but with hand straps on the cable machine.
>extending the elbow
>not extending the shoulder
Do these instead and get triceps DOMs like you've never felt before:
?t=124
skull crushers have entered the chat, get mogged, homosexual
Why not both?
This engage the long head more than any other head, what are you smoking?
Exactly. Do both for fully developed triceps
>gets beat by the superior JM press
Heh, nothing personnel, kid.
explain to me how it's the best if it does not engage the long head of the tricep that connects to the scapula
Anon, overhead work like that is the only way to work the long head. This is either b8 or you have 40 IQ
I really really like this image. Mind if I save?
Go for it
sitting is for women
Agreed. b***h pissers need to stand up.

>checked
No injuries yet, I wait till I can comfortably 5x13 to move up. only half moronic, thanks anon.

What about decline?
No, thank you, sir.
Dips are GOAT for triceps.
My elbows and wrists fricking hurts when doing this exercise, any advice?
