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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

>>Lower spine flexion refers to the act of bending forward at the lower back, which can be a common movement in daily activities. However, excessive or improper flexion can lead to issues like herniated discs and chronic back pain, so it's important to maintain good posture and strengthen core muscles to support the spine.
lumbar flexion AGAINST RESISTANCE, active of which i gave 3 examples of

>hammer swing from full extension

whereas passive bending spine under load when you pick sth up from the floor or

and the

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
