Lying Triceps Extension

Skyliner · 05-28-2001, 07:12 PM

Because my right arm is ALOT stronger than the left, so whenever I do lying triceps extension I just can't balance the barbell and it makes performing this exercise very annoying. So is it fine if I don't do this exercise, and focus on others to work on my Triceps instead? Will pushdowns and close grip bench press be good?

I don't have a great body, but as long as I work hard like now, I'm gonna reach there.

Yes, or you can do them with dumbbells until your arm strength evens out.

Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

I agree with Prince.Use dumbells for the lying tri extensions.Your weak side will eventually catch up with the strong side.Then you can switch back to using the bar.

There are a number of tricep exercises that are excellent! You do not need tricep extensions for a good tricep workout. However when it comes to putting on mass, it is one of the best. I would alternate between dumbbells and the bar for variety and, like the others mentioned, using dumbbells will force you week side to get stronger because it is working independently!

If you build it they will come
