Tricep extensions can be rough on your elbows if not properly warmed up. Is there any reason why you can't do both exercises?

 

[Bigtex]

Neither exercise. Both put way too much stress on the triceps tendon and you will have big time pain soon.

The JM press is much better

I always grab my local broom and do triceps…. Sometimes in the air while flying around….

God didn't give me tris so I'm out. Please don't start another thread on calves either.

I very rarely do triceps on their own, I believe you get plent of work, activation of the triceps doin all your bench press and shoulder press variations especially if ur using decent weight.
Cable kickbacks are my choice

First, I'd recommend warming up your elbows thoroughly. Then I would do 3 - 4 sets of pushdowns with a bar, then do 3 - 4 sets of tricep extensions (skull crusher style).

Of those 2 exercises, tricep extensions work better for me, but they can also be rough on your elbows if done first. Pushdowns are an effective tricep exercise, but they also do a great job of warming up your elbows, which is why I would recommend doing both.

Also, with tricep extensions, focus more on form than weight... a lot of new guys pile too much weight on the bar and end up working their front delts more than their triceps.

i am doing warmup on dips and then doing triceps extensions with proper form 6-10 reps + Superset dips and its killing my triceps. thank you!

tate presses or Jm presses. Dont warm up with dips, use some light high rep push downs

I am a big fan of seated lever dips
