Need good dumbbell triceps exercises using two dumbbells

**StrShot** · 04-13-2012, 07:07 AM

I'd prefer working both arms at the same time but if the exercise is good I'll do one arm at a time. Just looking for experiences with the exercise. Thanks.

Try skull crushers with a barbell or dumbells, those always burn out my triceps at the end of a workout!

Yep skull crushers with dumbbells are awesome. I usually Do them at the beginning of my tricep workout though so i can go heavy for size. I prefer using dumbbells with these too since I have elbow problems.

Skullcrushers, try it with palms facing in too. Tricep kickbacks are always good, and similarly, one arm lying down tricep extensions are also great, especially at the end of a workout to burnout.

Try doing two-arm dumbbell kickbacks.

They're a great finishing movement that will give you a crazy pump in your triceps.

Related, so I hope its okay to ask here.

I have two dumbbells like tc but was thinking of getting an ez bar or tricep bar for pullovers and skull crushers. I used one today and they both felt better.

A lot of people don't know about this exercise though.. I've never seen anyone do em in the gym.

It's a great exercise.. I don't know why not.

Close grip dumbell hammer bench press. It's a good exercise.

well if this is to workout at home then you can always do skull crushers with db's and use 3 different angles on the bench. decline, flat and incline, all 3 work and hit the tri's in different ways but they all really work very well. you can also do kickbacks, 2 handed overhead extensions. other than that i cant really think of anything else off the top of my head. but those that i just gave you are a good 3 to work with.
