it depends on what you want (explosive strength vs maximal strength) but for someone starting out you should just focus on keeping the weight under control, so the weight is going down as fast as its going up.

how are these compared with tricep extensions (over the head)? would /fit/ recommend one over the other?

tricep extensions as the name implies focus almost exclusively on the triceps alone while rows utilize a lot more muscle groups.

when i do op's excercise, it feels like it trains the shoulder and even back muscles. is this fucked up, or how it's supposed to be

If you want to hit your triceps I wouldn't recommend rows at all. Skullcrushers and dips with pushups and normal press is what I do for triceps. And they work. For growth I do 3x8 should be failing/almost failing on the 3rd set towards the eighth rep then decrease the weight for another 3 sets of whatever you can manage til exhaustion. Go down the weights again if you can't manage more than 5 reps in a set. You'll see massive growth. Like a penis.

Pip looks like bent over rows with bad form to me.. Don't know any tricep workout he could be doing unless he's extending his arm back to make it parallel with his body? There are way better things to do for triceps.

I already do dips, dips feel like they work my shoulders more than my triceps.

nah man, that's why i think i'm doing it wrong or something, i'm a total rookie when it comes to lifting weights. i'm thinking that maybe i'm "cheating" without knowing it, you know?

He's using his back too much probably. 40 kg Tricep isolation would be LOLWUT. Wouldnt be asking for advice on /fit/ anyway.

>>373523
Urdoinitwrong or you need to strengthen your shoulders up. Try to focus on flexing and holding your triceps tight as you go down and come up, sometimes just thinking about the muscle can tighten it during an exercise. I do this with chest stuff. Also - Skullcrushers.

Ok, thanks. Skullcrushers are lying tricep extensions when you push the bar from behind your head? I started doing them last week, is it the best tricep isolation exercise?

Umm if that is a row is should only work for theback.. Its a good one for the back though...

If you can do it like this gif with 40kg 10 reps then my hat is of to you sir... you are a monster..

Are you doing Bent Over Dumbbell rows, or Dumbbell kickbacks ?

40 kg in dumbbell kickbacks is a lot
but 40 kg rows isnt "oh man youre a beast"

For triceps i prefer, dips, triceps overhead extensions (with curl bar), Closegrip bench press.
