Do a Google image search for "Tricep bar" and you'll see what I mean. I like it beacause it's shorter than my e-z curl bar and doesn't hit the uprights on my bench when I'm doing extensions on the bench.
Also because your palms are facing each other it "hits" your tris from a different angle than with the e-z curl bar or barbell. You can also use this bar to do overhead extensions just be careful of your back and elbows. That's why I don't do those very heavy.
My original tri workout consisted of just flat, decline and overhead extensions. On the flat and declines I do a few sets where I keep the tris isolated and focus on just using them, then when i hit fatigue I finish with compound motions. That just means bringing the arms down closer to the body and the bar moving down more to your chin or below as opposed to moving it toward your forehead. But experiment with the angles and see how things feel- there's alot of variety. With the declines as I do them more compound-like I can feel them hitting the lateral head and lats as well. I usually don't use dumbbells or work each arm seperate but that's just to shorten my gym time to something reasonable.
