Yeah, doing this exercise with dumbbells feels so much better on the elbows compared doing it with a straight/ez bar. Even if you go heavy still feels comfortable and no unnecessary elbow pain.
Been doing these with dumbells for 4 months now and wow! My triceps look amazing already and my strength has improved like you wouldn't believe which in turn has improved all my pressing movements like never before in such a short space of time. Definitely can't recommend this exercise enough guys!
@@andrewledford3865 dude he was just saying what works for him and that he also uses what Jay was just showing. Plus some people respond differently and also if you love a movement and it's somewhat effective it's going to work better than others because of consistency. You're more likely to do it more often if you like it. But like I said as long as the thing you like also works and is it dangerous Chillout
Funny, DIPs are much more effective for me than any triceps movement and I tend to do then very slowly and very light weight to really focus on the muscle, but still can't feel a thing when I do overhead extension or moves like that. Dips on the other hand, I tend to do them with no extra weight with 20 - 30reps, and I feel a burn in my triceps everytime I do them, in a good way of course.
I began using the dumbbell version a few months ago and you can definitely feel the stretch better and I feel a tighter contraction than with the bar, great recommendation
I absolutely love the lighting setup of his gym. I'll do bench press at my gym and my eyes are burnt out my skull with the lights. 🇦🇺. Cambered bar? That's what you call it. Curl bar here.
You'll find out some exercises have different names put by different people. These are also often called Lying Overhead Extensions, I prefer Skullcrushers tho, sounds sick lol
I've started to do French Press with one heavy dambell after Jay's advise in an another video of him. Inner head of triceps responded perfectly 💯 Thanks legend 👍🏻💪🏻
i always thought these were skullcrushers & french presses were where you were sitting w the dumbbell behind your head, pressing that way? i’m probably wrong lol
I've always done these but on incline with dumbbells.. and my rotation of my wrists might be a little different but definitely feel it in the longhead of my tricep which is what i'm trying to do.. didn't know it was called a french press 🤘🏽 thats sick.
Jay has forgotten more about weightlifting than I’ll ever know, but that movement I stopped doing a long time ago. Skull crushers. Even with good form it hurt my elbows a lot and would leave me with pain.
My first workout for my tricep it will be either the lying down skull crusher using the straightbar or ez bar, but the other day again for my tricep will be the other variation using the dumbell doing this exercise the lying french press,, it gives my tricep so much stretch thats why i build a good tricep and after the end the finisher will be the tricep push down.
I love these..I feel like doing it with the dumbbells are slightly easier on the elbows..I work with heavy steel,hammering etc etc all day so my elbows can ache like a bastard with some tricep movements.
I have a question for you regarding triceps. It might sound dumb. I use 3 different exercises for triceps, cable being my favorite. When working them heavy and the intense burn is there, I keep going and after 3/5 more reps, the burn subsides and I can keep going burn free. Further sets are then burn free.I can then add a little more weight and do even more. Should I keep going AFTER the burn subsides or should I stop during the burn. I dont want to hurt myself.
I start with these when I put them in my triceps routine. Just like Jay or way behind tge head. Everyone's a little different so I always say to friends to adjust the angle to what you think works best for you. Find where it burns the most I say.
I tend to do these with my elbows further back on the bend to where the dumbells go past the sides of my head when i bring them down to fully stretch more. Anyone else do this?
If Jay is recommending it, it is probably easier on your elbows. The guy knows how to stay healthy.
He actually says in a different video, be careful with these workouts, and try not to go too heavy as it will blow out your elbows.
Yeah, doing this exercise with dumbbells feels so much better on the elbows compared doing it with a straight/ez bar. Even if you go heavy still feels comfortable and no unnecessary elbow pain.
100% most important thing is to angle out slightly like he’s doing. If you go straight back you’re putting a lot of stress on the elbow.
Was legit just thinking of tricep workouts
Yes trt😮
Jay is in great shape for a retired pro
He's going to compete again
He’s in great shape by any standard tbh
I was thinking the same thing. He looks great.
He will be competing in the Masters division when he hits 50
@@lancemanyon7645 He already told 100 times he 100% will not compete.
I’m 69. Bad shoulder. Started this routine. Love it, feel it, see it. Thanks
Keep it up man
*69? Nice!*
yeah you type like a grandpa too
you comment like a youngin@@yeeyee52
Keep it up

Started doing it recently and its now one of my top triceps exercise
Close grip bench press on a slight decline is great if you have elbow pain
Super underrated exercise. Rarely see people doing these
This is what mainly built my triceps
I see them all the time here and there.
I actually think the dips and the overhead extension build my triceps but the french press are the third exercise I use every now and then.
Yeah I'm sure Jay Cutler has no clue what he's talking about.
@@andrewledford3865 I don’t think he was saying jay was wrong

Having Jay Cutler do these videos and break down the exercise is a great learning tool. And an advantage. Thanks Jay
Thanks for all the advice and tips!
Nice definitely adding this one to my routine. (This is my 2nd year working out)
Looking huge, love these pro tips, helps so much. Appreciate you Jay.
Jay is a solid guy through and through. Very down to earth and friendly. Love watching all his free tips to help better our workouts.
Great to see the legend putting out these solo workout vids. ...fired up to hit the gym!!!
I began using the dumbbell version a few months ago and you can definitely feel the stretch better and I feel a tighter contraction than with the bar, great recommendation
I absolutely love the lighting setup of his gym. I'll do bench press at my gym and my eyes are burnt out my skull with the lights. 🇦🇺.
Cambered bar? That's what you call it. Curl bar here.
That gym is horrible, most depressing place to train.
Jay you’re a legend, you look amazing bro - thanks for all these awesome technique videos - been using them in the gym and loving the help
This guys gym blows my mind everytime. So fkn nice
Love this movement, its solid 💪🏼💯
it's so epic to see this epic physique like Jay's Cutlers to get back in shape again! Keep it up legend!
The more movements you do the more elegant you look!
I'm gonna try this. It looks safer than skull crushers too.
Isn’t that just called skullcrushers
pretty much yes
Yea but J has no idea what he’s talking about lol!
You'll find out some exercises have different names put by different people. These are also often called Lying Overhead Extensions, I prefer Skullcrushers tho, sounds sick lol
Skullcrushers are futher back behind your head. While still laying on bench though
@@ts5186wots the difference if they both work the long head just the skullcrushers have a greater stretch
So thick! You’re amazing, Jay!
They look like skullcrushers to me.
Do you have any recommendations for a slightly torn left shoulder rotator cuff?
that form is IMPECCABLE
as a french person, i can certify that i am a press
Stop the press!
I love these gym tip shorts
Freedom Press
😂
feels more "shakey" with dumbells but my wrists and elbows are happy i switched away from the barbell
Use slightly less weight than you would with a barbell
This made my day, I work out in an apartment gym. Thanks brother.
Your videos are sweet and simple ,strait to the point !
Thanks Jay. I will be implementing this at home!
I've started to do French Press with one heavy dambell after Jay's advise in an another video of him. Inner head of triceps responded perfectly 💯 Thanks legend 👍🏻💪🏻
Sick music!🤘🔥
I swear by this excercise. It blew up my triceps like crazy.
Love these jay! Boston ma 👍💪
Wow thanks Jay youre amazing i only have dumbells at home so this is very good!
Yup, that’s how I make coffee. 🤣
Best tricep exercise for sure!
This exercise really works great
I love this guy. I want to meet him. He is the most humble guy in the sport.
W Jay
Im adding this 2 my routine. 💪I've done these before years ago.
these also get my forearm muscles pumped
Wow i loved to do these for a while, super glad to see jay condone it
Love french press/skullcrushers, use camber bar is ideal. Do those and then tricep v handle(i think thats what you call it) pressdowns and all set
ain't nothin' but a coffee bean
i always thought these were skullcrushers & french presses were where you were sitting w the dumbbell behind your head, pressing that way? i’m probably wrong lol
French press is great but i prefer a percolation brew method like the v60
Big jay 💯🥊
great exercise..... great contraction
Very good 👍
Fantastic thank you for the info
I thought this called a skull crasher but hey if Jay says it’s French it must be 😂
It is the lying dumbell extension. French Press is done upright, seated or standing.
Le Skullcrusheur.
@@drdeesnutts48oui oui 👌🏼😂
I might sound dumb here, but aren’t these just Skulk Crushers?
I've always done these but on incline with dumbbells.. and my rotation of my wrists might be a little different but definitely feel it in the longhead of my tricep which is what i'm trying to do.. didn't know it was called a french press 🤘🏽 thats sick.
Jay has forgotten more about weightlifting than I’ll ever know, but that movement I stopped doing a long time ago. Skull crushers. Even with good form it hurt my elbows a lot and would leave me with pain.
One of my favorites!
Definitely trying this today..
I like the one dumbbell 2 hand overhead french presses
Do all those movements in the Arnold encyclopedia. This one is in there and a whole lot of other triceps sculpters.
My first workout for my tricep it will be either the lying down skull crusher using the straightbar or ez bar, but the other day again for my tricep will be the other variation using the dumbell doing this exercise the lying french press,, it gives my tricep so much stretch thats why i build a good tricep and after the end the finisher will be the tricep push down.

Wow so good the gym I Love You ❤
I always feel something in my bicep when I do these
Works like magic
I am the biggest fan...so plz come to INDIA....
Thanks, Jay!!! Greatly appreciated. Keep it up, man.
This is great to mimic french press with dumbbells 😮
Love these
This guy is awesome!!!
Jay is the freshest, good looking body in this age.
Best tricep exercise is the one you enjoy to do and do with the best form.
These things killed my elbows
Yesssur I love doing the French dumb bell work and yes it does work I've been doing those for a long time. 💪💯👍
it is best for sure

Can I suggest you superset these with kickbacks
Looks like he’s working out in a casino!!😂

I have always done this, hurts my shoulder sometimes
A 400lb bench press for reps also helps...
Close grip 😉
Great 👍
DIOS LO BENDIGA MAESTRO
Heard french press, immediately thought of coffee.
I swear doing overhead triceps extensions made my long head of triceps big, cannot say it about 2 other heads
Tricep extensions are king
One of my favourite exercises for triceps, but the set up with a bar just takes so much time
