the other day i experimented with movements so instead of doing a bicep curl, i did the reverse. i held the bar palms face down and moved it similar to the bicep motion. it felt weird but after i felt great...is there a name for such an exercise and is it good to do?...it feels like it worked my triceps..what do u think?

I used to love reverse curls, but these days I don't bother with them.
They're not too bad with the EZ bar, holding it where your palms are turned slightly facing eachother, but with a straight bar they're horrible IMO.
I think if you start to add serious poundage on these your forearms wont like you for it, just ask $AJ.
It's just not a very natural way of lifting something.

yeah, use an EZ bar... they are good for the forearm extensors and brachialis

With a curl bar you still get forearm (more concentrated on your brachioradialis) but more outer bicep and brachialis.
You said you you felt it in your TRICEPS? You may want to consult a physician or psychiatrist or both.....

Suggestion: try doing reverse curls with the EZ-bar, with an inside grip, on the preacher curl 'bench' - I found it to work very well.

The reason you can't use a much weight is that the short head of the bi's leverage is reduced, but you still get some bicep action, especially on the outer head (which is a. stretched more (myostatic reflex) and b. pulling in a straighter line)
