Anyone ever do these when you train triceps?

On my third tricep exercise on shoulder/tri day, this week I would normally do the machine where you sit down, grab the two handles(they are positioned about ear level), and extend your arms straight out and down on what looks like a preacher curl pad. I don't know what they're called, but they isolate the long head fairly well.
Anyways I couldn't find the machine today because they moved it, and also I noticed that our one little skinny big boobed tan gym hottie showed up. Today she was bubbling out of her tank top like she was carbonated and someone shook her up and popped the cork. For whatever reason this fired me up to try something new. So I did these for the first ever on an incline bench:

(this guy is way tiny, so picture someone on another uncomprehendable level of hossness and you got me. --- used the 200s btw)

i didn't do the stupid look on my face like in the second pic, but i don't think that mattered too much

Is there a formal name for this exercise? Anyone like em?
 
Is there a difference between these and overhead (EZ Curl bar) tricep extensions? I thought you needed to keep the upper arm perpendicuar to the floor when doing these, than`ts why IF I did them I would do one arm at a time.

I mostly do one DB held in my both palms overhead. That keeps the arms in place.
 
I don;t see how this is any difefrent from lying dumbell extnsions. Does the pronation of the shoulders cause the movement to hit a different part of the tris than lying extensions?
 
I don't know about the machine you're talking about, but the drawing is someone doing elbows out extensions. You can check the powerlifting board, there is a nice thread on them over there. :)
 
i do those with the ez-c bar to keep my elbows in

but you did those with 200lb dbs? wtf? i hope that part was you tryin, despratly, to make a joke
 
Where would you say this exercise falls on the scale on 1-10 as far as wussness goes, where 1 is Tricep Kickbacks and 10 is CG Bench/Weighted Dips??

d3 - was kidding. i used the 30s for 3 sets of 10. also it's quite different from doing a french press with the ez curl bar. the dbs are resting on your upper chest at the start of the movement(not behind your neck)

I'd rather do an overhead db extension instead. Can get more weight out of it and as you know tri's need to be heavily overloaded to grow.

yeah, i was tryin to give ya hell but it obviously didnt work

i'm guessing itsin the 5-7 ranking, lol
maybe i'll try it out

it goes from the shoulders/pecs straight up?
 
my wrists can't handle an overhead db extension. i haven't tried them in forever, but maybe i will give them a shot soon. anyways, thanks for posting that, big4life. the lower part of the tricep is exactly where i felt them. i think i'm gonna make em a staple of my tri routine.

d3 - yeah, rest the dbs on your upper pecs and then straighten your arm out lifting the weight palms out the whole motion

that machine is the shnizt.

BTW that exercise looks just like the same one you do laying down, only I do it one dumbell at a time.
 
The "Tate Press" is one heck of an exercise. I've been using the 55's for sets of 10 for the past few weeks and it REALLY helps with the bench press as well as any other type of press. Do them on an incline bench and try to keep the dbells close to each other the entire time. Think about ripping something apart when you get to the top.

They WILL fry your triceps, especially near the elbow (which is good for pressing), will thicken your arms/triceps a lot, and are flat out hard to beat for both size and strength. Train them hard, heavy, and explosively!!!

those be outward extensions

i do them just about every tricep workout.....they really hit that lower head.
 
Ive been trying those in my chair at work.. actually feels like a good exercise.. I got arms tomorrow.. Ill give em a try.. thanks for a new exercise.
 
Two negatives to this movement, shoulders are involved too much, usually during a tricep movement two things can move, elbow joint and shoulder joint/insertions, when the shoulder moves in a supposed tricep movement you are getting aid from shoulders which is not good if you are going to be strict about things, which I tend to be, also, over time, going heavy with this motion or even using it often will do damage to the elbow tendon, other than those items it seems to be a decent movement for the triceps.

You are talking about the Tate Presses?

Like I said before...they really work the triceps AND strengthen any and all pressing movements. Both the triceps and the shoulders are involved in ANY pressing movement. Not doing Tate Presses because they involve the shoulders a TAD is like not doing squats because they involve the lats a little.

As far as going heavy...I'm lost there. That seems like the arguement that going heavy on squats are going to kill my knees and back. As well, I don't suggest that anyone go heavy on anything ALL the time either. Some weeks I'll do high reps with the 25's and other weeks I'll do lower reps with the 55-65's. My elbows have not fallen off yet and I've been doing them for a few years with intensity.

Having a strong press means that one needs to have strong lower triceps too.

Yeah I can't imagine these being any worse than skull crushers as far as elbow tendon stress goes. I was using a total of 60lbs doing them(2 30s) and that isn't nearly what I use on skulls.

Onerep - I have no pictures, sorry. I will describe her for you though. She's in her late 20s. About 5'5", around 110lbs. Tan. Light brown hair. Nice face. Beautiful ass. Boobs are probably 34D(fake, but very nicely shaped). She's a gym socialite and talks to basically every guy that's there regularly. Typical outfit is black windpants and some sort of sleeveless tight top that accentuates her breasts. Pretty ditzy though. Whenever I hear her talk(she has a twang in her accent), the first thing that pops into my mind is DERRRR
