How can i train triceps at home with just 2 dumbbells? Is there any non-awkward exercises where i can just lock in and get this hypertrophic volume work to failure and beyond?

Kickbacks. Can choose what head to train or both. You can cheat heavy weights or milk light weight or anything in between so having the right db isn't a problem. It's not the most satisfying triceps exercise but on paper it has everything you need and every other exercise I tried at home was, as you implied, awkward.

This? Looks good, will try. Thanks.
>>
>>77046311
your options are
>kickback
>overhead tricep extension
>skullcrusher
you should also give diamond push ups and dips a try
>>
>>77046311
Overhead dumbbell extensions (both single arm and french press) and skullcrushers. Check this shit out, just yesterday I MacGyvered a tricep pulldown method in my basement homegym by using a pulley, rope, and some carabineers I had lying around the house.
>>
>>77046364
Imagine the dust from this rope grinding on the pulley.

How do you load it?

>simple and effective.
How about you post some of your other creations? Might steal a few.
>>
>>77046364
What is it hanging from? You are aware that the bolt is holding 2x whatever weight you're lifting, right?
>>
>>77046311
pushups
close grip
keep your mind in your arms and particularly in your triceps
anything besides a push and overhead extension are a meme
>>
>>77046311
dumbell bench, kickbacks, dumbbell ohp, skullcrushers, pushups/one armed pushups for calisthenics
>>
Ditch the dumbells get rings and smth to attach them and do crazy ass dips on them

stand sideways to anchor point of rubber which is horizontal
hook rubber on wrist with fully protracted and internally rotated shoulder - keep working arm loose
then press with free hand on biceps of working arm providing fulcrum point for movement (in the picture it's knee that's the fulcrum)
extend elbow of working arm & undulate between near full extension of elbow and full extension of elbow

it's the same principle as picture, shoulder protraction disengages lats and traps u normally "work" with triceps pushdowns and such

such alignment also shifts away tension from long head which u normally abuse during "triceps" movements into lateral and medial head

i use cheapes powerband, tied to rope - it's a great idea to use sock with a hole to cushin rubber-rope connection, my 10$ chinkol rubbers are over year old and still going strong :D

Go panhandle and get a home gym you stupid peasant. I have a lamborghini and also I am physically intimidating.

dumbbell overhead extension is king. it will stimulate all of your tri's with exceptional stretch to the long head. everything else is just accessories to this, except for close grip press.
>>
>>77046376
Bowline knot passed through the weight plates and attached to the rest of the rope through a carabineer so I don't have to retie the knot every time.
>>77046382
I've made a wrist roller by drilling an industrial steel pipe, some cord and a carabineer. Might post later.
>>77046386
My ceiling mounted pullup bar, can do it with a ceiling hook too. Pulley has max load of 100kg, I'm not so sure about the rope since I haven't measured it's diameter yet
>>
Are bench + dips + pulldown good enough to build decent tris?
>>
>>77046311
Just strap a tshirt to a doorknob and blast triceps or some shit after you did the actual lifts.
>>
Picrel movement just with a dumbbell, or use both arms if your DYEL.

overhead is dogshit bot cause long head jams into shoulder joint and precludes entire triceps from continuous tension on muscle belly - necessary condition for optimal hypertrophy movement
it also fucks up shoulder - no refunds
>>77046456
that's not real muscle bot - that's roidous watery bloat, meine has all 3 heads distinctly visible and more striated than this, this one medial head disappears under said bloat and merges with long into one blob

Post it.
>>
>>77046493
You mean tricep pushdown? Yes
>>
>>77046579
Don't trust a word out this ESL retard calling everyone bot.
Skitzos are not based and they do not have deeper knowledge they are just mentally ill and looking for attention
>>
>>77046311
put your dumbells in a backpack and do overhead tricep extensions
>>
>>77046595
Yes bot guy is an absolute retard. Agree

EZ Bar Overhead Ext, sitting with Back support.
Pushdowns or DB Skullcrushers.

Both the best Tri exercises. 12-16 sets per week.
>>
>>77046720
Prefer overhead rope triceps extensions. Easier on my elbows
>>
>>77046311
Do dips. If you must use your dumbbells, tie them your nuts while doing dips.
>>
>>77046722
If you say so. Overhead is still the most important one, no matter the variant. People spam Pushdowns for years and get nowhere.
>>
>>77046728
It's good to do both, I but I largely agree. Overhead hits the long head more which is the biggest muscle belly of the tricep.
>>
>>77046311
Pushup and dip variations.
>>
>>77046751
Lol push-ups. Dyel detected
>>
>>77046456
NTA but what about incline skull crushers? Overhead extension irritates my elbow.
>>
>>77046793
That's fine too, but the resistance curve isnt as good on skull crushers.

is only achievable via proper balance between psoas and abs strength and resting tonus

tldr:
git abs with Mcgill crunch actively pressing lumbar spine on hands, monitor legs as u do it, they ought to be relaxed

gymming with "good form" clenches psoas and damages it which is fucking disastrous as it's physically connected to diaphragm, very center of your body in spine AND GUTS where our second brain resides - the enteric nervous system

it would be genuinely hard to find more insidious way to fuck sb up with "advice" on fitness related things
